Obama Regime Sues School for Refusing to Give Teacher Three Weeks Off to Make Pilgrimage to Mecca…

It’s almost like they’re pandering to Muslims or something.

WASHINGTON, March 23 (UPI) — Critics of a U.S. Justice Department lawsuit on behalf of a Muslim teacher in Illinois say it is politically motivated.

Government lawyers filed the religious discrimination suit in December on behalf of Safoorah Khan, The Washington Post reported Wednesday. Khan quit her job in Berkeley, a suburb of Chicago, when she was refused time off to make a pilgrimage to Mecca.

Critics say Khan was requesting a three-week absence, well beyond the usual accommodation to employees’ religion, and the Justice Department should not have become involved. They suggest the Obama administration filed the lawsuit in an effort to reach out to U.S. Muslims.

“It sounds like a very dubious judgment and a real legal reach,” said Michael Mukasey, who served as attorney general in the cabinet of former President George W. Bush. “The upper reaches of the Justice Department should be calling people to account for this.”

Thomas Perez, the current assistant attorney general for civil rights, said the department is trying to defend “the religious liberty our forefathers fought for.”

    Our forefathers fought for a teacher to have 3 weeks off? Bullshit.

    I know of this story and part of the package of the job was no vacations for like so many years and no Mecca .. so the Teacher took the job signed a contrast then made a claim of Religious intolerance and now our Government is stepping in to give this person the money they want and to suck up to Muslims everywhere.

    I’m going to start suing our Government for treating me a straight,Christian as second class… These suits can work both ways.

    “He said she would have had to wait at least nine years for the period of the hajj to fall during a school break.”

    Then f-ing wait 9 years! You just have to visit the Moon Rock once in your lifetime.

    There is no “religious right” for time off work. If she “has to worship SATAN” she can permanently move to mecca and stay there. Permanent and stay there; redundant, and needs to be continually repeated.

  8. chiggerbug says:
    March 23, 2011 at 4:25 pm

    Of course….she IS muslim and IS a teacher…so I ASSUME a part of the teacher’s union….soooooooo……..she wants ONLY 3 weeks off????????? Wow…what a novel concept…..work once in a while and take all the time off you need for “whatever”. So the rest of us working stiffs can keep the economy going. I don’t get 3 weeks off the entire YEAR!!!

    She didn’t want to wait 9 years to perform a ritual (during her summer time off) that she only has to perform once in her lifetime (and she’s not old or sickly). She was then refused a vacation for 3 whole weeks during the school year, and turns around and sues for discrimination (backed up by Holder and Obama). Just another Muslim purposefully causing a controversy in order to gain concessions from the Infidels, and the Obama administration eagerly jumping in to move the US one step closer to sharia law.

    Ahem. What did the teacher’s contract say about personal leave?

    As far as I know, no public school will let a Christian teacher off for weeks on end to go on a religious pilgrimage.

    No flights from the ME except Israel. Religious freedom my arse—the only way Islam has grown is through deceit, fear, intimidation, violence and genocide of all other faiths

    I’m with Dennis Miller on this one. No teacher should be allowed to take time off of school to go to a place where, if she were to bring her (infidel) students, they would be killed. Sounds like a good policy to me.

    “Thomas Perez, the current assistant attorney general for civil rights, said the department is trying to defend ‘the religious liberty our forefathers fought for.’”

    Really, Mr. Perez??

    John Quincy Adams said this about Islam:

    “In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar [i.e., Muhammad], the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE…. Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. The war is yet flagrant … While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men.” [pg. 83,The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades) by Robert Spencer]

    “the religious liberty our forefathers fought for.”

    Well, I can’t speak for our forefathers, but I seriously doubt they fought for the religious freedom of a public employee taking three weeks off during the school year in order to fulfill a pilgrimage that only needs to be completed once in a lifetime.

    And I also seriously doubt they fought for the ‘religious freedom’ to sue the school district (the taxpayers) for not giving into to bullshit demands.

    Awhile back I worked for a well known firm in the land of petroleum and men who wear dresses yet beat women. Those in the firm who felt they had to go to the ultimate moonrock amusement park known as Mecca only got 3 days off to do it. If it’s good enough for those who bounce their foreheads off the floor 5 times a day , it should be good enough for the “aggieved teacher”. Ignorant slut.

    Sometimes you have to fight insanity with insanity in order to bring saneness back.
    Look at this case. Read it. Pardon my typos because I am very sleepy…posting and looking at the Elizbath Taylor news at the same time.
    So now,a group of teachers and I mean a good 50 of them need to file a lawsuit against their school districts for not being alllowed to have unpaid leave of 5 days for Holy Week.

    Teachers in Houston , where I live , and who are Catholic and from New Orleans should file a lawsuit against school districts here for not allowing them 3 days of unpaid leave for Lundi Gras,Mardi Gras, and Ash Wed. for the faith and the this faith of their ancestors and culture is very important and religous to them.
    You get my point. Our country would then have our attention.

    The madness of this thing has to stop. If you fight crazy with crazy, it helps. Crazy does not like crazy. No fun. A bully does not like a bully.

    What is up with the Mosque sign in our cities whenever there is a Mosque nearby.
    I don’t see any signs that say,Church.

    Citizens,WE NEED to file a lawsuit against our cities for discrimination.
    bet then, Us Govt.will hear its people.

    You get my point.
