She can't do Haj next summerShe has ample time during school breaks.
It's impossible
Actually, it is. It's one of God's commandments.The law says that an employer must make "reasonable accommodations" to someone's religious beliefs as long as it does not negatively impact the business. And also the religious accommodation must be considered an absolute of their belief. Like, you can't make a Jew eat pork on the job. Or you can't make a muslim eat anything during the day during Ramadan.
We've had people applying where I work that say they must have Sundays off because of church. We don't hire them. Why? Because the weekends are our busiest time. And it's not an absolute precondition of the Christian belief that they must attend church all day on Sunday. Thats just what the applicant wants to do.
Actually, the condition is that they cannot work on the last day of the week.
Most Christians know nothing about their own religion.
Remember the Sabbath...
But it's not a condition of being a Christian. Thats the point I'm trying to make. Doesn't matter what day of the week it is.
Did anyone ever bother linking to a source while you're arguing over whether she resigned?
This calendar.
Islamic calendar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The pilgrimage happens every year but on different days because of the calendar.
Which is not every 9 years, which actually makes me right.
By the way, if she had waited a few years she could have gone in the summer, instead of trying to force the district to leave the math lab without proper supervision just before the finals. Does the fact that she is the only teacher qualified for that particular job in that district make her more or less unreasonable in her insistence at talking time off that year?
No, you are not right. If she were to go in the summer for the Hajj, it would take 9 more years for it to be in the summer.

Unless you think all the OT laws were thrown out, in which case you're left without laws against murder, since I don't recall Jesus ever mentioning that one, either.
What if she were fired for refusing to attend a special meeting or class on a Saturday because she was a Seventh Day Adventist?I think its bullshit. If her vacation time does not cover it then she is no different then any one else. Your job is on the line. And in my opinion she did deserve to be fired.
But i see this crap going to court as religious discrimination. And she will more then likely win.
One day is different then 3 weeks.
She can't do Haj next summer
It's impossible
She can, however, do it next year. Or the year after that
Those would also fall during the school year
And Umra taken during the summer does not satisfy the requirement to take the Haj
That is your employer's prerogativeReally? Since when? The only time anyone gets a religious holiday off work is when the employer shuts the business that day. And no...we damn sure dont get paid unless we are on salary. What world do you live in???
I get paid for Christmas, whether I work it or not.

Thats where the gray area is.

No they wouldn't. The hajj occurs on a lunar calendar, and falls on a different month every year.

If you knowingly and willfully break it, you are on the path to either the lake of fire or the outer darkness. If you figure 'what the hell, I'll ask for forgiveness later', you're taking to Lord's name in vainIf you break one of the commandments, you are not automatically thrown out of the faith.
That's where the other poster's getting the nine-year thing, dolt. They're saying it'll be nine years before Haj occurs during the school district's summer recessShe can, however, do it next year. Or the year after that
Those would also fall during the school year
And Umra taken during the summer does not satisfy the requirement to take the Haj

You said 'condition', not 'precondition'.
The only precondition I know of is being human. There are many conditions.

I work in a restaurant. Only because I'm salary do I get any day off with pay.Guess I spoke too soon about no one defending the idiot....Its a little sticky but she asked for 3 weeks unpaid leave and when she couldnt get that she resigned.
This country was made up of "foreign" beliefs, Grace. Youre just used to the ones we have.
This was something she had to do for her religious beliefs. I dont see why you people think shes so evil. Wait, shes Muslim....right.....
I dont even believe in any religious hocus pocus but I sure can see how some of you think you have every right in the world to have it your way. F**k the rest, right?
No. It isn't "Fuck the rest" (don't be afraid to spell it)
I don;t demand Sundays off or Easter or, when I worked where they were open for it, even Christmas.
And no it isn't something she "had" to do for her religious beliefs.
She isn't evil. She's the one feeling entitled. How does that reflect on "some of us"?
You may not demand those days off, thats your prerogative. You do get religious holidays if you are a Christian, or not. Paid too. There would be quite a shit storm if they decided to cancel all the religious holidays in this country.
I dont see how she felt entitled when she offered to take unpaid leave. Yes, all Muslims are required to do this at least once in their lives.
The sticky part is the length of time.
Muslim Probationary teacher decides to take a three week haj to Mecca during the school year. The school stated that if she did she would lose her job. The Muslim woman goes on her 3 week haj to Mecca during the school year anyway. She gets fired. The Muslim woman sues the school.
Our Dept of Justice Head, the Obamarrhoidal Twit and Ridiculous Nincompoop Erik Holder rises to her defense.
Is Holder a MuslimArseLicking Stooge ?
Waddaya think ?

Thats where the gray area is.
I highly suggest you read the rules on quoting. Do not take what i say out of context.
I said that if the person did not want to show up for a special meeting for "religious reasons" should also be up for termination.
It is not a gray area.
Those would also fall during the school year
And Umra taken during the summer does not satisfy the requirement to take the Haj
No they wouldn't. The hajj occurs on a lunar calendar, and falls on a different month every year.
Different day, not month.
