I have to admit I'm torn here. I frankly wish the government would keep its damn nose out of private business more than it does. It ought to be OK for a Catholic-leaning company to, say, refuse to subsidize birth control and/or abortion through the health plan it offers its employees---as long as it makes this policy clear to employees before hiring them. And yet some states would make this illegal.
So what's good for the goose ought to be good for tha gander. If a Muslim company wants to ban pork on the premises, well, so be it.
On the other hand, bacon tastes good, pork chops taste good... :-)
I would say that if the company had a written policy regarding pork, then I'd have to be behind them 100%.
I went to the original site for this story when it popped up on Drudge yesterday, and found a freeze-frame of a graphic broadcast as part of the story. It showed a passage from the Koran forbidding food "which hath been invoked the name other than Allah."
Wouldn't that mean that Kosher food would be forbidden in a Rising Star facility? Which would mean that an orthodox Jew employee could never dine on the premises? Or that a person who brought in a beef hot dog from Hebrew National would be fired?
