Muslims Sue McDonalds

Two women are filing a discrimination lawsuit against a Michigan McDonald’s that they claim refused to hire them because they wear the hijab, a Muslim headscarf.

“These unbelievers insult our religion by insisting that we expose ourselves in order to get a job at their restaurant,” charged litigant Toi Whitfield of Detroit. “We will not submit to decadence.”

“Our virtue should not bar us from employment,” fellow litigant, Quiana Pugh of Dearborn added.

“We have a dress code at the restaurant,” explained Bud Bland, manager of the targeted McDonalds. “Everyone who works here wears a standard uniform—pants, shirt and hat. If you won’t wear it, you can’t work here. It’s not discriminatory. It’s just that simple.”

The suit is demanding $10 million in damages. “It’s not a question of restitution,” said Dawud Walid, head of the Council on American Islamic Relations in Michigan. “The issue is deterrence. By making an example of this one case we send a message to all employers that they must accommodate our beliefs or face bankruptcy.”

The suit also demands that the Dearborn McDonalds cease offering bacon as a burger add-on. “It is not halal,” Walid pointed out. “To serve it in a Muslim community mocks Islam.”

The Detroit-Dearborn area has the densest Muslim population in the United States.

We will lose to Islam, we don’t have the will to win. We don’t think we are right and they do. Its as simple as that.

I unfortunatly agree with you.

We won’t lose because Europe will fall first. We can learn from mistakes.

Okay, so these two women went to apply at a McDonald's WITHOUT their male family member with them?

So, isn't the usual punishment a good stoning?

This CAIR suit will be thrown out as frivolous. Next thing, they can't wash their hands with soap for religious reasons and they'll want a mini-mosque and someone to call out the hours to prayer so that they can pray, and the list goes on.

We live in the USofA, assimilate or go somewhere else to live. And if you're a convert to Islam, you know better, so get over it.

If they mean “DENSE” like a brick, they got it right.

So membership in a death cult founded by a 7th-century child rapist entitles one to claim superior “virtue”?

There are enough people in this country who think that Europe has the right idea.
