Workers In Tennessee Forced To Take Muslim Holiday Instead Of Labor Day
- Thread starter AAAintheBeltway
- Start date
AAAInTheBeltway, you're a retarded hate mongerer.
More workers at the plant are Muslim than non-muslim so contractually it makes sense to grant them a holiday over their choice over labor day. If a non-Muslim worker is so adverse to getting a Muslim holiday instead of Labor Day he can choose to work somewhere else.
This issue isn't worth having a topic on it.

Excuse me but by the same token more people in this country are non-muslim than muslim. If a muslim worker is so adverse to getting an american holiday (like labor day) instead of a muslim holiday he can choose to live somewhere else. Iran, Saudi Arabia or the UK leap immediately to mind.
How many people are in the country doesn't matter. This is about a private corporation choosing work hours for their workers that make the most sense with the beliefs of the majority. I don't get why people are reading into this as being indicative of some negative large trend of Muslim tolerance.

Court Decides Jewish Holiday Bias Claim
How far does an employer have to go to accommodate an employee's religious needs and to avoid creating a work environment hostile to an employee's religion? A federal court sitting in New York State recently reviewed those issues.
What happened. George Leifer, a Jew, worked for the New York State Division of Parole. When he transferred to the Division's Queens office in 2001, managers told him that the Queens office had serious (but unspecified) staff problems. Leifer's problems there began when the Division scheduled a meeting for the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah, September 19, 2001.
Leifer asked that the meeting be rescheduled, and although the Division refused, he was not punished for nonattendance. When he protested, he alleged that his boss said, "Your religious laws and customs are not binding on me. I will not reschedule meetings because of some Jewish holiday." His boss denied the statement. Similarly, Leifer said, the Division scheduled a training session on the holiday of Shavuot on June 6, 2003, and refused to accommodate his Passover observance needs in 2004.
Leifer also alleged that the Division was hostile to his Jewish religion. As evidence, he cited numerous incidents, including the vandalism of his wedding photo, the placing of a crowbar in his file cabinet, and the discovery of urine on his chair. On the basis of these and similar incidents, Leifer sued the Division for failure to make religious accommodation and for maintaining a hostile work environment. The Division asked the court to dismiss the case without full development of the facts.

These Arab states also consider Christmas as a public holiday. Christmas and New Year are not public nor national holidays in Israel.

congratulations , spoken like a true moron.
Fact
I stated that was Unconstitutional and only a bigot would find it laudable to have a deeply ingrained christianity which required a religious test to hold office .
Another Fact. You couldn't even spell cite when you came to this board. Nor could you for a long time afterward despite it being pointed out numerous times. Can't expect you to understand how you are now being a bigot , but nevertheless.......
Fact
And I said it was Unconstitutional to require such a thing.
As it turned out so did the Supreme Court according to AAA's own post. How come you haven't noticed that?
Fact
You are completely confused. Where religion is supported by states requiring a test that a person profess a belief in God or Jesus to hold office, it is Unconstitutional AND illegal so to do. Then why would you be so content with a fact that states were breaking the Constitution and the Law?
Blinded so much by religious bigotry you cannot understand a simple constitutional legal Fact.
If I have to be called an irrational little atheist to be upholding the principles of the Constitution then so be it. Far better than yourself who would condone illegal unconstitutional activity to promote intolerance and hatred just because others do not believe in your silly childish religious fairy tales. How very un-American you really are.
Israel's death cult brainwashing, a radicalized violence war culture:
Notice this pinhead did not provide one shred of useful information.
he did not show I was incorrect because i was not.
he changes the argument.
Stu you are about as dumb as an atheist can get.
The U.S. was tied to Christianity. While it was tied it was constitutional for many years.
I gave you the Trinity case in which the Supreme court said We are A Christian Nation and cited these very same state constitutions as evidence.
In the 50s we got and activist court and it ripped Christianity from the public sphere. It did so by declaring things unconstitutional. Things which had previously been constitutional and or unchallenged.
Whether you like it or not the U.S. supported religion right up until the 1950s. Just because a court may have found some of those practices unconstitutional did not mean they did not exist.
That case proved my point.
You are so dumb not to understand the point. Religion and Christianity were part of the fabric of this nation and this nation forged the freedoms which allow pinheads like you to get things wrong.
(you have been reduced to bring up typos- you are the picture of loser in the dictionary._
... mind boggling incoherence. Bad even by your standards
Religious tests are unconstitutional . Against that the most intelligent response you can manage is:
- Things like a religious test are Constitutional when the U.S. is tied to them.
Just because they are found unconstitutional, does not mean they did not exist.
It's a pathetic response for anyone to make - but for someone claiming to be a lawyer!!
Then again for a "lawyer" to repeatedly use the word site instead of cite even after having been schooled on this board in their ignorance of that , who can only excuse themselves by a typo, is quite obviously indicative of a dishonest and corrupt mentality anyway. No doubt your extremist and prejudiced disfunctional religious mindset is cause of that.
Let me tell you no way was the U.S. ever founded on Christianity. Liberty and Justice yes. But especially not any Christianity leading to the standard of intellectual and moral depravity you display.
