Considering the sheer number of things that Islam bans (pork, alcohol, movies, music, chess, kites, etc…) a Muslim driver who refuses to drive a truck containing them is mostly useless.
When Muslim taxi drivers refused to drive passengers with seeing eye dogs or who carried bottles of alcohol, there was an uproar. But now Obama Inc. is using to claim that Muslim discrimination is a civil right that employers must accommodate.
Star Transport, Inc., a trucking company based in Morton, Ill., violated federal law by failing to accommodate two employees because of their religion, Islam, and discharging them, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed today.
The lawsuit alleged that Star Transport refused to provide two employees with an accommodation of their religious beliefs when it terminated their employment because they refused to deliver alcohol.
A trucking company may be obligated to accommodate religious observance by providing time off for holidays or prayers. It is not obligated to excuse employees from doing their actual job. And delivering alcohol is part of what being a truck driver means. If it’s against your religion, find a job that doesn’t involve delivering large quantities of foods and beverages.
In fact there is no actual prohibition that bars Muslims from driving a truck full of alcohol. There are prohibitions on drinking alcohol. Every Muslim corner store I have ever seen sells alcohol, alongside smuggled cigarettes and lottery tickets. Many Muslim countries allow the sale of alcohol.
These objections have little to do with the Koran and a great deal to do with Muslims imposing Islamic law on non-Muslims in Western countries. And Obama has chosen to collaborate in that assault on civil rights. Again.
This scenario already came up with Reedy v. Schneider National in which Vasant Reddy blackmailed a trucking company into a settlement. But now this latest assault is being spearheaded by Obama Inc.
The case is going in front of Judge James E. Shadid, an Obama nominee who has been hailed as the only Arab Federal judge in Illinois. That’s quite a coincidence, in the sense of not being a coincidence at all.
Obvious to anyone who is paying attention.
Ping.
Meanwhile on the other side of town, Obama is suing Christian doctors to force them to provide birth control and abortions....
obama is anti-christian
He’s just trying to protect a potential future job for himself after being the worst POTUS ever,
Unintended consequences. This will lead trucking companies and probably many others to not hire Muslims. The Americans with Disabilities act immediately resulted in a drop in the employment rate of the disabled.
Which I will not obey.
How about all the wedding photographers, florists, bakers etc. who have been coerced into providing services to homosexual weddings?

“I would never hire a Muslim for anything, and would never consider having a Muslim doctor.”
Hiring any of the “protected groups” is foolish; you will be sued the first time one of the “more equal” people are passed over for promotion.
“The lawsuit alleged that Star Transport refused to provide two employees with an accommodation of their religious beliefs when it terminated their employment because they refused to deliver alcohol.”
So they are hired by a trucking company, refuse to drive the truck(their JOB), and the government files suit claiming the trucking company is discriminating. What religious accommodations do they want? To be paid for praying their five times a day? And they call Christians religious nuts.
As stated already, test runs for sharia law.
They won’t deliver alcohol, won’t give a dog a lift, won’t handle pork at the checkout, but they have no problem butchering someone in the streets. It’s beyond comprehension that any civilized society gives an ear to these barbarians. How did we get so stupid?
THERE IS ONLY ONE RESPONSE:
Precisely — I see absolutely no difference. Except in one case the Govt’s ox is being gored, in the other case it’s a Muslim’s ox.
“Gee. I wonder where people get the idea that the President is really Muslim. How about his actions?”
Even if it is proven that he is Muslim in a court of law, I’m sure he doesn’t now nuthin’ about this suit. He would first have to read about it in the newpaper.
I also believe there are dry counties in the south run by Christians.. Just saying..
Always keep in mind two facts concernimg obama:
1. He was elected by a majority of those that voted. Before being elected, he said what he intended to do; in short, destroy the United States as it is known today. Despite this being known, he was elected .
2. Hye is doing what he said he would before being elected. To Wit: Destroying and transforming America from a self sustaining world power to a third world welfare State. This is what those that voted for him, orship him, support him, and adore him desire. That those who worship him are living a life of luxury off the fat of the land and will be destroyed along with the way of life we know is lost on the. Or, perhaps not, all that matters to them is that the United States of America be destroyed.
God, there’s an arab federal judge? Sickening
