#1 Oops! Looks like the defense didn't do a very good job vetting the jury.

They should have gotten fewer normal people and more PC moonbats.

Who don't actually, you know, work for a living.

#2 Would the plaintiff prefer: allow them to pray, but allow the company to discriminate against those who take time off to pray?

#3 I'd let 'em kiss the ground if they need too, else they'll be rolling their eyeballs and that brings workmans comp issues.

#4 Oops on me. I meant the plaintiff's lawyer didn't do a good job of vetting the jury, of course.

Is it morning already? ;-{

#5 Farah had testified in the same courtroom where he once took the oath to become an American citizen. He had survived the civil war in his native East African home, fled as a refugee to Kenya and eventually settled in Nashville in 1994. He testified that he was torn between following his faith and earning a paycheck at one of the few good jobs he could find in Nashville.

Did anyone else have the word "ingrate" spring to mind? Let's examine the facts: Another country allows you to successfully immigrate from your wartorn sh!thole of a birthplace. They award you citizenship and an employer bends over backwards to accomodate your religious beliefs. You're getting a good paycheck and yet none of the foregoing munificence can possibly restrain you from squalling about how you should be given a chance to drag down all of your coworkers' productivity because your religion's eggshell collective ego commands that you prostrate yourself repeatedly each day as a confirmation of your piety.

At some point naturalized citizens should be able to have their status revoked due to a failure to integrate. Ibrahim Farah sounds like a great place to start, then we should work down the rank and file of CAIR.

#6 If you make allowances for the religious needs of muslims to take time off the assembly line to make evening prayers, what do you tell charismatics when they want to handle serpents on the line? Maybe if you let them handle serpents while the muslims pray......
