FARMINGTON HILLS (WWJ) – A Muslim flight attendant has filed a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEO) claiming she was suspended from her job for not serving alcohol — which is against her religious beliefs.
Lena Masri, an attorney for the Council of American Islamic Relations Michigan (CAIR), says Charee Stanley followed management’s directions, working out an arrangement with her coworkers to accommodate passenger requests for alcohol.
However, Masri said, ExpressJet Airlines put Stanley on administrative leave after another attendant filed “an Islamophobic complaint” that referenced Stanley’s head scarf.
“We notified ExpressJet Airlines of its obligation under the law to reasonably accommodate Ms. Stanley’s religious beliefs,” Masri said at a news conference in Farmington Hills on Tuesday. “Instead, ExpressJet close to violate Ms. Stanely’s constitutional rights, placed her on administrative leave for 12 months after which her employment may be administratively terminated.”
Masri said the arrangement Stanley had with other attendants to serve the alcohol for her had been working out just fine since Stanley converted to Islam about a month after becoming a flight attendant for ExpressJet.
“I don’t think that I should have to choose between practicing my religion properly or earning a living,” Stanley said. “I shouldn’t have to choose between one or the other, because they’re both important.”
Contacted by WWJ Newsradio 950 for comment, airline spokesman Jarek Beem responded with the following statement:
“At ExpressJet, we embrace and respect the values of all of our team members. We are an equal opportunity employer with a long history of diversity in our workforce. As Ms. Stanley is an employee, we are not able to comment on her personnel matters.”
CAIR is America’s largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization, with the mission “to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding.”
If she loses, will she share a cell with Kim Davis?
Probably. After all, she’s not a Christian...
Just out of curiosity - when a person has their head cut off on a widely-distributed video, does that violate his civil liberties? If so, where are the complaints, from this bunch?
Round ‘em up and move ‘em out.
I'll bet she wouldn't bake a cake for a "gay couple" either.
A country that no longer knows who it us puts Christians in jail and bows down in subject submission to ROP’ers and gives them what ever they want.
We discovered religious conviction only goes so deep.
Or issue a marriage license as well.
I also remember there was a problem with service dogs in cabs driven by Muslims.
Wow. We let these sons of whores into the country and they’ve learned the liberal tactics fast.
She converted a month after becoming a flight attendant.
Yeah. I bet she didn’t like her job, came up with the conversion strategy to sue and get some cash. How long does it take to: Convert, give up alcohol, get disgusted, then refuse to even touch it?
The Airline should hire a private investigator to talk to friends and go to her mosque and talk to people there. There should be a lot of job opportunities for Muslim PIs.
If the Muzzie isn’t punished for failing to do their job because of their religious beliefs and the Christian is, its telling; that our government doesn’t follow the letter of the except when they want to. Its says that they’re hypocritcal tyrants that interpret the law to suit their needs.
Question: What would happen if the passenger was gay and upset that the Muslim wouldn’t serve him his damn drink? A Muslim Standoff? Would he demand that she make his drink or he would bring DC down on her? No. He would wake up in bed with a black robed Muzzie standing over him with a schimitar pressed to his throat and then marched outside for a flying lesson.
If I boarded a plane with a slime flight attendant I’d be off that plane asap if at all possible.
Careful! Think about the clerk in Kentucky! How might this apply if she wins?

this has nothing to do with making her serve alcohol.
Bet she was calling co-workers haters and bigots. This was prolly why she was put on leave. Her co-workers served alcohol.
Kim Davis has said remove her name from the license and she’ll give them out.
Muslim Civil Liberties: An oxymoron if ever I saw one.
Muslim / Civil Liberties
Bwa ha ha ha ha, bwa ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha...
Such practical jokers...
Off with their heads! Ha ha ha ha ha...
Box of rox anyone? Islam... ha ha ha ha...
“She was raped. Let’s stone her!”
Civil liberties...
Give them a one-way ticket back to the hell hole they crawled out of.

She needs to go to prison in Kentucky. End of debate.
