EEOC wins discrimination case for Muslims fired for not delivering beer

oct 22 2015 The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission won $240,000 in damages for two Muslim truck drivers after it sued their former employer for religious discrimination for firing the drivers for refusing to make beer deliveries.

The EEOC said that Star Transport Inc., a trucking company based in Morton, Ill., violated their religious rights by refusing to accommodate their objections to delivering alcoholic beverages.

The case involved Star Transport's firing of drivers Mahad Abass Mohamed and Abdkiarim Hassan Bulshale, both of Somali heritage, in 2009 after they refused to make beer deliveries for the company, citing their adherence to Islamic law. For devout Muslims, consuming or even being in contact with any alcoholic beverage is prohibited

The EEOC argued that the company could have easily reassigned the drivers but did not and sued it for religious discrimination. Star Transport admitted liability in March. The jury awarded Mohamed and Bulshale $20,000 each in compensatory damages and $100,000 each in punitive damages. The judge awarded each about $1,500 in back pay.

If part of their job was to deliver beer, they should have been fired.

Interesting how Muslims can cite religious freedom to not to their job but a Christian does that and they go to jail.

Someone on another board just said re this case:

"Refuse to haul alcohol for religious reasons and a jury gives you money. Refuse to bake a cake for a gay wedding and you're screwed. Gotta love the judicial system."

Give them the money then put them in a leaky boat headed east.

Moral of the story? Never hire a muslim.

Refuse to do your job using Muslim beliefs as the reason and get a settlement. Refuse to do your job using Christian beliefs as the reason, go to jail and be chastised by the very people that say these Muslims should have been able to do what they did.

I think it depends on Illinois law....but I see no clear reason why the business had to keep them on if they wouldn't do the job they were hired for.

Hollywoods been shitting all over Christianity since Hollywood began. One lousy third world Arab Muslim shithole person threatens to send in one or two suicide bombers and suddenly the mighty Hollywood turns tail and runs.

Interesting.

Muslims are determined to make us hate them as much as they hate us. That seems to be the whole point of jihad.

We need to just cut to the chase and wipe the MFs out once and for all. Get it over with.

This is why laws respecting religious nonsense are stupid.

Islam isn't even a religion. Like zionism it's a political movement that calls itself a religion to deflect criticism.

Correct decision. How would you like it if as Christians you had to work every Sunday and could never actually practice your religion?

The only thing I could find on this thread, was from a case that was more then two years old and apparently the third world arab muslim shithole people did in fact prevail in their case against the trucking company, according to a business insurance website.

Those who spin for and defend the PC-protected religion won't like this.

Plus, the business owner is evil and rich and greedy and mean and didn't build that and someone else made that happen 'n stuff.

Nice to see, though. You want a job, you have to do the job.

If working on sunday is part of the job description, then you shouldn't take the job. THINK

There's a big difference between making reasonable accommodations for a truck driver and elected officials swearing an oath to carry out the duties of their office.
