The new face of America?
This from NY Times, 23 Sept 2010:
Federal law requires employers to accommodate head scarves, also called hijabs, as well as prayer breaks and other practices based on sincere religious beliefs unless doing so would impose an undue hardship on the employer.
———-
It is now a federal law that if Muslims are not accommodated at work, the employer can be fined. The EEOC ( Equal Employment Opportunity Commission), funded by your taxes, enforces the law and fines the companies. Many companies from Abercrombie and Fitch, Disney and major meatpacking plants have paid out millions of dollars in fines just in 2009.
The agency says that the Muslim workers lodge the most complaints, more than racial complaints, sex discrimination, any other form.
The federal government is working overtime to sue the companies, it says.
——–
However, if you are a Jew who is not allowed to wear your prayer tassles ( tsitsit) out of your shirt, as is commanded by many rabbis, a Sikh who wears a turban as part of their religion, or an Amish man who wears a beard and distinct garments, forget it.
You will not be taken seriously.
The law is for a certain group and no one else.
So much for separation of church and state.
So much for our constitution.
So much for the America we knew and loved.

The people of America should not have to comform with other countries and their beliefs. If they don’t want to comform with our constition and laws than they should go back to their own country.
you are always talking about freedom ,, freedom of speech, freedom of travel & freedom of work,,, i consider this as freedom of wear,, i have the freedom to wear what i want when i want, not your business it ain`t gone add to you anything friend.
If people are not allowed to pray in public schools WHY should a company be forced to allow people prayer time on company paid time? And not all religions, just ONE, get this privilege. Americans BETTER wake up FAST. Little by little they are taking over. They know they will not be able to take over with guns so they are taking over this way. Screeching about intolerance and racism knowing we will be ashamed and buckle under, e.g., allowing a woman to take her driver’s license photo with her face fully covered. WHAT A JOKE. WE HAVE LAWS. If you do not like them and they mesh with your belief system then DO NOT COME HERE or apply for a job that doesn’t mesh. You do not take a job knowing the rules/culture and then complain about bias. This is just a way of taking over. But of course saying this makes ME the intolerant bigot.
