Muslims disproportionately file discrimination lawsuits against their employers

[Note: March 15, 2020— I have revamped the text of this article and updated its links.]

An article recently published by Bloomberg News explains that American businesses are being forced to change their business practices out of fear of lawsuits for religious discrimination.  The article explains that while only 1 percent of the U.S. population is Muslim, 40 percent of religion-based workplace complaints filed in 2015 were Islam related.

It has been a growing trend that Muslims bring lawsuits against their employers for not accommodating all of their religious idiosyncrasies, often being facilitated through the help of the CAIR organization that advertises such legal services to Muslims.

The council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is a Muslim advocacy group in the United States that is known for its political activism among Muslims in America, having an innocuous facade while also being notorious for its connections to Muslim extremism and terrorist groups.

The website  http://www.anti-cair-net.org/  is a website documenting issues with the organization.

Following is a list of many lawsuits that have been recently brought by Muslims against their employers:

A Jury in Illinois awarded two Muslim Somalian truckers $240,000 in a lawsuit for being fired for refusing to transport alcohol for their trucking company. — video

A former Cosco employee is suing the company for religious discrimination due to the fact that he was reassigned to gather carts in the parking lot because he refused to touch pork products when working as a cashier. — link

A Muslim special education teacher sued the Newark Board of Education, the former Newark Central High Principal, and the current Newark Mayor Ras Baraka for religious discrimination and harassment because he was denied his request for religious accommodation allowing him to attend a religious service every Friday afternoon which led to him resigning his position in 2012. — link

A Muslim schoolteacher in Illinois requested an unpaid three-week absence so she could make a pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, but her request was denied.  So she submitted a letter of resignation, taught students until her scheduled departure, and then later sued the school district for religious discrimination.  In the settlement she received $75,000 compensation and mandated that all members of the board of education are required to receive mandatory training on Muslim religious issues. — link and link

A Woman at an Amway plant in Michigan was told she couldn’t wear her hijab for safety reasons upon starting her new factory job, so they moved her to another department but with less working hours, leading to her quitting the job.  She then sued using CAIR when the company didn’t find her another full time position despite the fact that head coverings were banned in the employee handbook. — link

A Muslim flight attendant is suing ExpressJet using CAIR for their insisting that she serves alcohol. — link

A Muslim cashier in France sued the Supermarket she worked at because she was not permitted to wear a hijab, and was awarded 10,000 Euros.  She initially worked without wearing the hijab and left the job to have children, then started wearing it upon returning to her job knowing that it was not permitted as a company policy.  “This decision gives back her dignity” said her lawyer. — link

The following is a summary of this Express UK article: 

Police have confirmed 22 reports from women saying they have been sexually assaulted at a “We Are Stockholm” event in Sweden.  Seven complaints had been filed on the first day,  another 15 reported by Thursday, and with many more reports expected since the event is ongoing.  The police have refused to disclose the nationalities of the attackers.  [Note the image is of a different music festival in France.]

Hitler and Nazis embraced Islam during World War II

Many people don’t realize that the Nazis extensively collaborated with Islam during World War II.  Adolph Hitler very much admired Islam’s ideologies and in fact he wrote that he wished that Germany was an Islamic State.

Hitler’s confidant, personal architect, and Minister of Armaments Albert Speer wrote that Hitler viewed Christianity as “the wrong religion for the Germanic temperament,” writing that Hitler said:

“You see, it’s been our misfortune to have the wrong religion.  Why didn’t we have the religion of the Japanese, who regard sacrifice for the fatherland as the highest good?  The Mohammedan [Islam] religion too would have been much more compatible to us than Christianity.  Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?”

“Then we should in all probability have been converted to Mohammedanism (Islam) [In the ‘Battle of Tours’ in the 8th century] … Then the Germanic races would have conquered the world.  Christianity alone prevented them from doing so.”

Hitler formed an Alliance with Islamic countries and pledged his support to the Palestinian leader and Grand Mufti Haj Amin Al Husseini, who headed the Nazi efforts in the Arab World.

In 1935, the Persian leader Reza Shah Pahlavi, a Nazi sympathizer, renamed “Persia” to “Iran,” which in Farsi means: “Land of the Aryans.”

In modern days, the global elite Establishment is implementing a long-term plan of diluting the masses of the populations of the world together and making them increasingly dependent on the State so they can be more easily controlled as time progresses.

Perhaps the biggest reason why the Establishment has opened floodgates of masses of unvetted and often hostile Muslims coming into Europe is because the nature of Islam makes it an ideal tool for them to help subjugate the populations of the world due to their covert influence over it.

Hitler’s influence can still be seen today in the Muslim World.  Hitler’s Autobiography “Mein Kampf” remains a best seller in Muslim countries.

A Muslim cleric in a British mosque has been recorded preaching to teenagers that it is permissible in Islam to capture women as sex slaves (then he issued a rebuttal but questions remain)

A Muslim preacher named Ali Hammuda at the British Al-Manar mosque had been secretly recorded by an undercover reporter during a religious study gathering telling a group of teenagers that it is permissible in Islam to capture women as sex slaves.  The event was publicized by posters fringed with drawings of sports equipment, also saying “Brothers Only, Ideal age 13-18.  Followed by indoor football.”

In the recording Hammuda tells the boys “[It is prophesied that] towards the end of time there will be many wars like what we are seeing today, and because of these wars women will be taken as captives, as slaves … And then her master has relations with her because this is permissible in Islam, it’s permissible to have relations with a woman who is your slave or your wife.”

The recording was made in 2014, soon before reports of ISIS atrocities where more than 5,000 women and girls were abducted in northern Iraq where they were enslaved, raped, or executed.  The recording was only recently made public.

Undercover reporter Rizwan Syed, who made the recording, also found a range of extremist literature in the mosque, including books preaching “..brutal violence, sexism, homophobia, aggressive physical jihad, dismemberment and capital punishment implemented by the state.”

Many of the most notorious British jihadis who have joined the Islamic State in Syria have worshiped at the Al-Manar Mosque, including the trio of the “Cardiff jihadis” who appear in an ISIS recruitment video, of which Reyaad Khan was killed in an RAF drone strike.

The Mosque has also hosted many extremist visiting preachers, including Muhammad Mustafa Al-Muqri, an Al Qaeda ally and ex-leader of Egyptian Islamic Jihad.

NOTE:  8/14/16— ALI HAMMUDA’S REBUTTAL

Hammuda issued a lengthy and indignant response to the allegations made against him by the Daily Mail, but ultimately he failed to convincingly convey why the words he spoke in the recording were taken out of context as he claimed them to be.

The primary claim of Hammuda’s rebuttal is that the recording is of him speaking about an Islamic writing known as the “Narration of Jibril”, which he says is “known to pretty much all Muslims verbatim.”  However he doesn’t explain why talking about that particular text would somehow make the words he spoke be taken out of context.

He goes on to say that he considers the taking of girls as sex slaves to be an “abhorrent abomination”, and cites statements that he made at a public event on November 11, 2015, where he mentioned being opposed to the activities of ISIS including their taking of sex slaves.  He made those statements at the event in response to allegations that his Mosque was radicalizing youths to fight for ISIS.

Hammuda also claims that he has expended much time speaking out against the evils of ISIS in his lectures, but nonetheless he didn’t voice a negative opinion about what he was talking about when he was recorded speaking to the boys in private.

Also despite the length Hammuda’s response, he didn’t reply to the allegations of extremist literature being found in the mosque.

Some other points Hammuda mentioned are as follows:

— He claims the word “slave” as he used it was taken out of context, saying “the description of ‘slaves’ in the Western sense is a million miles away from the Islamic notion.”

— He acknowledges that the Daily Mail did mention that he has refuted ISIS, but he said that it was “sandwiched in the small print between big, angry slogans and pictures, explicitly painting lies…”

— He said one of the three “Cardiff jihadist” Reyaad Khan actually didn’t attend Cathays high school as the Daily Mail article claimed.

— He argued that since the lecture in question was an hour in length and the recording is only 56 seconds, then “it therefore goes without saying that the snippet has been decontextualized from the message and purpose of the overall lecture itself.”

MUSLIM COUNCIL OF WALES SUPPORTS HAMMUDA AFTER ALLEGATIONS

Recently the Muslim Council of Wales (MCW), a Muslim umbrella group including the Imams of all mosques in Wales, had issued a written statement backing the Imam Ali Hammuda who recently made headlines being secretly recorded preaching to teens that it is permissible in Islam to take women as sexual slaves.

In their statement they said, “Hammuda’s comments have been misrepresented and are slanderous and untrue, as Ali Hammuda has himself clarified clearly and unequivocally,” also saying that Hammuda’s positions against extremism, racism, and bigotry are well known.

They also mentioned that the Al-Manar Mosque is vocal and committed to countering the ideology of ISIS and radicalization, and said, “All mosques and Muslim institutions in Wales are committed to teaching morals and values of the Islamic tradition, compassion, forgiveness, the sacredness of all human life, and the equality and personhood of every individual, male and female.”
