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.

  1. Jeffersonian says:

    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.

  2. Dan Collins says:

    Oh, teh unmitigated irony.

  3. We’re fucking doomed.

  4. ThomasD says:

    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.

  5. Makewi says:

    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.

  6. I just found an “Outlaw” song for us. Blood on the Ground by Incubus. Sounds kinda badass.

  7. Oh, hey. All the PMJ crap is gone.

  8. Wm T Sherman says:

    APPEAL THE VERDICT.

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

  9. router says:

    the site loads much faster these days

  10. Jim in KC says:

    It’s very important that we not mock people for their superstitions.

    Also, we’re fucking doomed.

  11. Meanwhile, in the loving, tolerant, happy-clappy heartland of Islamofascism…Christians Brace for Sharia in Pakistan’s Swat Valley

  12. And if this keeps up, we are soooo fucking doomed.

  13. LTC John says:

    Who cares what was agreed to… its not like contracts matter anymore, right?

    Gah!

  14. 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.

  15. solitary knight says:

    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.

  16. Ted Stevens says:

    APPEAL THE VERDICT.

    Yeah, definitely do that.

  17. Pablo says:

    Shit. Just google “We’re fucking doomed.” It’s funny.

  18. Merovign says:

    Appeal the verdict? How about appeal the verdict and impeach the judge?

  19. Techie says:

    So, they all walked on these jobs that violated their precepts, right?

    Right?

  20. Mr. Pink says:

    This is like a fat chick applying to Hooters and then when she gets hired sueing cause the bloomers make her look fat.

  21. Pablo says:

    In a settlement approved Tuesday by U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeanne Graham, Gold’n Plump will add a paid break during the second half of each shift to accommodate Muslim employees who wish to pray

    Paid? That’s it. I’m a Rastafarian now.

  22. meya says:

    “APPEAL THE VERDICT.”

    Its not a verdict.

  23. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    But you are a lying, spinning crapweasel.

    Funny ol’ world, innit, SFAG?

  24. router says:

    Its not a verdict.

    you’re right more like a jesse jackson shakedown

  25. Rob Crawford says:

    So, they all walked on these jobs that violated their precepts, right?

    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.

  26. Rob Crawford says:

    Appeal the verdict? How about appeal the verdict and impeach the judge?

    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.

  27. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    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?

  28. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    Also, my new faith requires that my work area be anointed with holy oil (bacon grease) several times per day.

  29. meya says:

    “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.””

  30. Techie says:

    This reminds me of the old lawyer joke about the EEOC complaint filed by the Amish Astronaut………

  31. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    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?

  32. Berry Lee Obama says:

    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.

  33. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    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.

  34. B Moe says:

    That was one of my socks, I know exactly who meya is SPB>

  35. happyfeet says:

    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.

  36. Andrew the Noisy says:

    I wonder if the dhimmi tax will cost less than the AMT.

  37. B Moe says:

    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.

  38. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:


    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!

  39. Vulcanrider says:

    Now, what do they call that faith where 364 days of the year are holy days on which work is forbidden?

    Congress?

  40. MarkD says:

    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?

  41. Mars vs Hollywood says:

    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.

  42. JD says:

    meya never fails to bring the tsunami of teh stoopid.

  43. 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.

  44. meya says:

    “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?”

    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.
