Once again the majority will have to suffer the tyranny of the few. Such is the way in a country obsessed with PC. How much longer can a gutless government and a pussified nation survive? Third world here we come, and at warp speed.
A while male would prefer to live in the south. A muslim male would prefer to live in Pakistan. What's your point?
A somewhat similar dispute has been in the news periodically concerning anti-abortion pharmacists who object to having to sell the morning after pill. I think a couple of cases went to court and they lost. Basically, the courts are not going to give someone the right not to perform an essential job requirement just because it is claimed to infringe on their religion. If the employer can accommodate them without a lot of burden, different story. Clearly the employer has an unreasonable burden if employees are free to decide they won't do routine transactions. These are relatively easy cases. What about a ob/gyn doctor who refuses to perform abortions? What about a lawyer who is required to handle a case to bar a Ten Commandments display? These seem to me to go beyond routine transactions and require the employer to participate in activity he considers sinful. It's easy to say, get someone else to do it, but what if it is a small country hospital or a two man law firm? Can your business be ruined by a mere employee's religious sensitivity? The problem with devout muslims is the vast array of activities they object to. What if the clerk refused to serve women who weren't veiled? Given the opportunity, they try to turn religious accommodation from a shield into a sword to force everyone else to observe their religious edicts. Then they begin to demand the right to run their own communities pursuant to islamic law. They have already done this in the UK. Of course, we already allow illegal mexican immigrants to do this, so why should they be any different.
he has the right not to be forced to handle ohhhhh, sooooo delicious butchered up pig ... mmmmmmm, bacon, he should also have the expectation to be shit-canned soon after he refuses. "This line is for 15 items or less, AND NO BUTCHERED, FECAL EATING, FILTHY PIG!" hear the one about the vegetarian hot-dog vendor? me neither, but there is probably a joke in there somewhere.
gee..maybe multi culturalism and globalization isn't such a great idea. Some cultures just don't mix well. Some do. If the state of Israel was physically in south Florida,and someone would invent an alternative source of energy to oil, don't you think we would all get along much better.
Jesus H. Christ. Give me and El Cubano a break! This place is at it's quota for Jews and Haitians. Good looking Cubans though, should be State Department exempt.........
