U.S. Files Discrimination Lawsuits On Behalf Of Muslims

[chanel]

A federal civil rights agency known as the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has filed discrimination lawsuits against companies in Nebraska, California and Colorado for discriminating against Muslims by not accommodating prayer breaks and forbidding a headscarf on the job.

The government sued meatpacking plants in Greeley Colorado and Grand Island Nebraska for religious and racial harassment because dozens of Muslim employees were “denied prayer time” during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. The lawsuit seeks changes to policies and procedures to accommodate Muslim workers, payment for past and future damages and punitive damages.

In a third lawsuit filed this week the EEOC claims that an outdoor apparel store discriminated against a Muslim female job applicant in northern California because she wore a headscarf known as a hijab. The company has a longstanding employee dress code banning any sort of head covering but the government asserts that in this particular case it’s discriminating on the basis of religion.

Also this week, the Justice Department met with a coalition of Islamic groups that demand the administration criminally prosecute anti-Muslim rhetoric as hate speech. Besides investing more resources to combat discrimination against Muslims, coalition leaders want Attorney General Eric Holder to “make a strong public statement” condemning hate crimes, harassment and discrimination against Muslims.

How many "prayer breaks" does your company offer? How many employers would NOT hire a perfectly capable Muslim applicant for fear of being sued? Is it possible that people who demand special treatment CREATE their own discrimination?

Nice, they create discrimination... and they whine about discrimination. Want to see where we will end up? Take a look at what is happening across Europe. Paris is a good example.

The line I highlighted in bold is something I've anticipated for awhile. I don't think it's gonna fly, but I imagine even our own MSM will get behind it. (While they continue to blog about throwing conservatives through plate glass windows.)

Here's a PDF about the meeting with the Justice Dept.

Faith Groups Anticipate Federal Action to Protect American
Muslims & Religious Freedom in Wake of Hate Crimes

"We appreciate the broad range of actions taken by the federal government in combating bias
against Muslims. The growing spate of hate crimes, attacks on Muslim groups and mosques, and
anti-Muslim rhetoric calls for even more vigorous and effective responses from both the
government and our nation’s religious communities

That was written by a Rabbi. I guess he hasn't seen the stats.

To accomodate mooslums companies should get rid of all their toilet paper.
