Feds Go to Bat for Somali Muslim Truck Drivers Who Refused to Deliver Beer

The federal government awarded $240,000 to two Somali Muslim truck drivers who refused to deliver beer to customers.
The Muslims said it was against their religion. forced sharia (Rick Well)
The EEOC took up the case in 2013.
Liberty Unyielding reported:
Last month, it was a Muslim flight attendant who sued her airline after suspending her for refusing to serve booze. This month it’s two Muslim truck drivers, except in this case, handling booze — which is forbidden under Islamic law — was pretty much their entire job description.
The pair, Mahad Abass Mohamed and Abdkiarim Hassan Bulshale, had the backing of the federal government in their religious discrimination lawsuit against their former employer, who rightfully terminated them for refusing to make beer deliveries.
The Washington Examiner notes that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission won $240,000 in damages to the former drivers, both of Somali heritage, who were fired in 2009.
The EEOC said that Star Transport Inc., a trucking company based in Morton, Ill., violated their religious rights by refusing to accommodate their objections to delivering alcoholic beverages. “EEOC is proud to support the rights of workers to equal treatment in the workplace without having to sacrifice their religious beliefs or practices,” EEOC General Counsel David Lopez announced Thursday. “This is fundamental to the American principles of religious freedom and tolerance.”
Do Egyptian Muslims drink beer?
It was brewed in that country for thousands of years.
I bet ol’ Mohammed slammed a few down along the way.
Whatever happened to tolerance?
We have lost another battle and piece of our way of life.
Christians make a personal decision, and damn them to hell!
Muslims make a personal decision, and Allah be praised.
Is it just me or does something stink like three day old somali around here?
What would Al Capone do?
They’d be gone..
As is our nation.
Water-board him with beer.
Isn’t Rick Wells the author?
Why have you listed yourself as the author?
What the heck is wrong with you?
Freak.
Christians have to do whatever the state commands or be faced with bankrutpcy or incarceration.
Anti-Christians can recruit the state to fight on their behalf no matter how ridiculous or capricious their demands.
We don’t see Christians suing anybody so how do you think the EEOC will get involved if there is no case? Think!
The law of unintended consequences says that Somali truck drivers will not be hired anymore.
So, how does the firm deliver its beer? Hire yet another truck driver who isn’t Muslim? Can you put that in the job description?
Our nation is now officially gutless. I hope the idiots who voted for Obama will enjoy living under sharia law.
Yes, and I was also thinking of Kim Davis who wouldn’t sign gay wedding licenses. She didn’t get much governmental support.
Seems to me one should fulfill the assignments of one’s job or change jobs.
Congratulations.
In my haste, I’m not perfect.
But hey, we have you here with enough awesomeness for all of us.
So, no worries.
The Supreme Court, meanwhile, issued an OPINION that the legislative branch of the US government ought to spend some time crafting a new law.
Kim Davis was put in jail even though there was never any law that she might have broken.
Well, when the state is infilitrated with Muslims (or Muslim friendly types), this is what unfortunately we get.
Of course, for Christians, it’s a given that the world will hate us. Even in this country, and sadly more so today than ever before.
It’s obvious what’s going to happen. Remember you read it here. The federal government will actively support sharia and deliberately refuse to prosecute polygamy, genital mutilation, and other illegal, uncivilized aspects of the subhuman ideology.
Christians will be subjected to sharia too and the feds will not protect them.
There is already precedent. Indians are in a sovereign nation, with its own set of laws and its own legal system.
$120,000 each should buy them a lot of beer. They’ll probably blow it on hash and qaat.
Muslims don’t have to touch /serve deliver beer or handle or be around dogs BUT Christians must pay for and perform abortions .
Our government has been infested by God hating reprobates and the nation is being turned over to Islam for judgement .
allah is not God and mohamed was not a prophet .
Nothing like living in communists America. This is just the beginning of a total dictatorship and a perfect example of how corrupt we have become.
