Muslims Win $1.3 Million for Not Being Given Prayer Breaks [Dan Collins]
and for being required to handle pork as a condition of employment at a Minnesota processing plant. It’s not as though physicians and pharmacists are going to have to supply abortions and abortifactants as a condition of employment, though, is it? Oh, hey–there’s a voice mail message in which the NYT reporter tells whistleblower that she’s been told to stand down on Obama-ACORN story. 45 Comments ::: Post a comment »RSS feed for comments on this post.

What I can’t figure out is why businesses are moving offshore. With all of these newfangled rights Congress is inventing, you’d think they’d be springing the lengths of their chains to set up shop.

Oh, teh unmitigated irony.

We’re fucking doomed.

Forget abortion/birth control. That’s so 19th century. Next thing down the pike? Medically assisted suicide. And no, there will be no room for conscience.
Comment by Makewi on 4/1 @ 6:10 pm #
On the bright side, it seems reasonable to expect that we will all be getting Muslim holidays off soon. More time off is better than less.
Also, we’re fucking doomed.

I just found an “Outlaw” song for us. Blood on the Ground by Incubus. Sounds kinda badass.
Comment by Comrade Carin on 4/1 @ 6:19 pm #
Oh, hey. All the PMJ crap is gone.

APPEAL THE VERDICT.
If this stands, it’s just the beginning. They always come back for more.

It’s very important that we not mock people for their superstitions.
Also, we’re fucking doomed.

Meanwhile, in the loving, tolerant, happy-clappy heartland of Islamofascism…Christians Brace for Sharia in Pakistan’s Swat Valley
Comment by The Sanity Inspector on 4/1 @ 6:47 pm #
And if this keeps up, we are soooo fucking doomed.
Comment by LTC John on 4/1 @ 6:51 pm #
Who cares what was agreed to… its not like contracts matter anymore, right?
Gah!
Comment by Comrade Carin on 4/1 @ 6:51 pm #
I think I can respond to everything tonight using Incubus lyrics.
You think that your on the brink, the shit hasn’t even begun to hit the fan
The consequence you’ll see will be stranger than a gang of drunken mimes
The situation has a stink better clear the air before your son becomes a man
Of course, I don’t think they ever use “We’re fucking doomed” in any of their songs. But, I cannot be sure, because their newest album sucks ass and I haven’t listened to it.

Well I’m sure that while these Somalis are praying to “he who’s name must not be spoken”, they are wishing well for us infidels.
Comment by Ted Stevens on 4/1 @ 7:27 pm #
Yeah, definitely do that.
Comment by Pablo on 4/1 @ 7:33 pm #
We’re fucking doomed.
Heh. Poor Gwen.
Comment by Pablo on 4/1 @ 7:34 pm #
Shit. Just google “We’re fucking doomed.” It’s funny.
Comment by Merovign on 4/1 @ 7:41 pm #
Appeal the verdict? How about appeal the verdict and impeach the judge?
Comment by Techie on 4/1 @ 7:54 pm #
So, they all walked on these jobs that violated their precepts, right?
Right?
Comment by Mr. Pink on 4/1 @ 8:08 pm #
This is like a fat chick applying to Hooters and then when she gets hired sueing cause the bloomers make her look fat.
Comment by Pablo on 4/1 @ 8:09 pm #
Paid? That’s it. I’m a Rastafarian now.
Comment by meya on 4/1 @ 8:11 pm #
“APPEAL THE VERDICT.”
Its not a verdict.
Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 4/1 @ 8:19 pm #
But you are a lying, spinning crapweasel.
Funny ol’ world, innit, SFAG?
Comment by router on 4/1 @ 8:24 pm #
you’re right more like a jesse jackson shakedown
Comment by Rob Crawford on 4/1 @ 8:29 pm #
That’s what fucking frosts me. If you hold your religious beliefs so highly that you refuse to touch pork, don’t take a goddamned job that requires you to handle pork! You don’t see that many Amish auto mechanics, for example.
It’s just complete crap to charge an employer $1.3 million for providing people with jobs those people went into knowing was inappropriate for themselves.
Comment by Rob Crawford on 4/1 @ 8:36 pm #
It was a settlement. The company decided they would have spent more than $1.3 million fighting it.
Bastard lawyers.
Oh, and the inclusion of 28 people who “had” to sign forms declaring they know they’d have to handle pork in this job is whole ‘nother layer of stupid. You don’t have to sign, folks! While hunting for my first job, I was at an interview where they asked me to allow them to run a credit check on me before they’d even start the interview — I said no and walked out.
Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 4/1 @ 8:37 pm #
I think I feel a religious conversion coming on.
Now, what do they call that faith where 364 days of the year are holy days on which work is forbidden?
Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 4/1 @ 8:38 pm #
Also, my new faith requires that my work area be anointed with holy oil (bacon grease) several times per day.
Comment by meya on 4/1 @ 9:09 pm #
“But you are a lying, spinning crapweasel.
Funny ol’ world, innit, SFAG?”
How does that killfile thing of yours work again?
“If you hold your religious beliefs so highly that you refuse to touch pork, don’t take a goddamned job that requires you to handle pork!”
here you go: “The Work Connection has agreed to provide offers of employment to the 28 job seekers who were turned away for not signing the “pork form.”"
Comment by Techie on 4/1 @ 9:09 pm #
This reminds me of the old lawyer joke about the EEOC complaint filed by the Amish Astronaut………
Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 4/1 @ 9:13 pm #
How does that killfile thing of yours work again?
It works when I turn it on, lying crapweasel.
When I have free time to point out that lying crapweasels are lying crapweasels, I do it as a public service.
When I don’t, I don’t.
Pretty simple. Even a lying crapweasel should be able to understand it.
Now, how does that lying crapweasel thing work again, lying crapweasel?
Comment by Berry Lee Obama on 4/1 @ 9:14 pm #
here you go: “The Work Connection has agreed to provide offers of employment to the 28 job seekers who were turned away for not signing the “pork form.—
Yes, dear, that was part of the settlement. You can’t really use that to justify the settlement itself.
Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 4/1 @ 9:17 pm #
She’s a lying crapweasel, Barry Lee.
That’s what she does. It’s all she does. She’s the Terminator of mendacious, incontinent mustelids.

That was one of my socks, I know exactly who meya is SPB>
Comment by happyfeet on 4/1 @ 9:26 pm #
The muslims are stupid, these ones at the meat factory, but the meat factory sold out America. Gold’n Plump might could be plump full of salmonella and that wouldn’t make me less likely to eat their chickenshit chicken and shit cause of they are losers what got rolled by a passel of stupids.
Comment by Andrew the Noisy on 4/2 @ 5:46 am #
I wonder if the dhimmi tax will cost less than the AMT.
Comment by B Moe on 4/2 @ 6:46 am #
I think the point is they do…
The point is do is not the same as did, and that the government is forcing private citizens to give special treatment based on religion.
Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 4/2 @ 7:02 am #
See, cuz i’m very interested in it.
That’s lovely. I’m not interested in you, or your opinions, or your mendacious “debating” tactics.
Just in pointing out that you are a lying crapweasel.
Hey, shouldn’t you be going in to work early to put in some unpaid hours for the good of your coworkers?
You know, as you suggested that dentist do?
We all have to sacrifice. Obama has spoken!
Comment by Vulcanrider on 4/2 @ 10:23 am #
Congress?
Comment by MarkD on 4/2 @ 10:38 am #
So, how do I reduce my auto loan to one of these zero percent things? My religion (cheapskate, not Muslim) forbids me to pay interest. So what if I signed?
Comment by Mars vs Hollywood on 4/2 @ 2:52 pm #
Now, what do they call that faith where 364 days of the year are holy days on which work is forbidden?
Congress?
Oh, if only.

meya never fails to bring the tsunami of teh stoopid.
Comment by Christopher Taylor on 4/2 @ 3:51 pm #
They do realize that the Koran doesn’t actually require prayers at given times in the day, just three times through the day, right? That he could pray on his lunch break, before and after work?
Apparently not.

“Hey, shouldn’t you be going in to work early to put in some unpaid hours for the good of your coworkers?

You know it came to me later, that dentist, besides of course paying her employees more or charging less, she could also just hire someone to do some part of her job. That would reduce her income AND give her free time.
