June 14, 2012 The latest demand Business owner in no-win situation Dear Lee, What would happen to a business owner who failed to institute a safety policy and an employee was injured as a result? Asked another way, how quickly would a lawsuit be filed? Muslim employees at a Minnesota business have gone to CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) asking for help in their opposition to just such a safety-inspired policy. (See the KSMP-TV story below.) They claim the policy infringes on their beliefs. But what if one of them got injured if the owner did NOT institute the safety policy? They would sue the owner! A few years ago Muslim organizations in the UK protested a policy that required surgical staff to thoroughly sterilize up to their elbows. They protested because they said it required Muslim women to expose their arms. The policy was rescinded. Accommodating unreasonable Muslim demands trumped sound public health policies, putting patients at risk. Now these Minnesota Muslim employees are demanding that the business owner be put in an impossible situation—rescind the safety requirement and risk being sued if someone is injured, or keep the requirement and get slapped with a discrimination lawsuit. LE CENTER, Minn. (KMSP) – http://www.myfoxtwincities.com/story/18716382/2012/06/06/burqa-ban-prompts-somali-walk-out-from-minn-business More than 30 Somali employees walked out in protest of dress code changes at a privately-owned business in Le Center, Minn. The former employees of Dianne's Fine Desserts claim a new uniform policy was instituted to force them off the job because of their Islamic beliefs. The owner of the bakery, Mike Knowles, told the Faribault Daily News a woman's long dress recently got caught in a boot washer and the new guidelines were instated over safety concerns. Knowles, who bought the business just 11 days before the accident, said the company leaders went out of their way to try to work with the Somali Community. Originally, they had recommended knee-high skirts but later agreed to boot-high or mid-calf skirts before making the policy public at a meeting on Friday. On Monday, many devout women reported back to work in their full-length attire, saying the new dress code conflicts with their religious beliefs. They were then given the option adjust their skirt lengths or leave. Eleven women walked out and were joined by about 20 Somali men. The workers have asked the Council on American-Islamic Relations to intercede, and CAIR has previously helped 25 Muslim employees who were terminated in December 2010. At the time, the business was called Dianne's Gourmet Desserts and was under a different owner who fired the employees after the break schedule was altered into conflict with employees' prayer schedule, but employees prayed anyway. A complaint was forwarded to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the workers were reinstated. The walk-off has also been brought to the attention of the American Civil Liberties Union. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Make sure you receive all of your messages from ACT for America.

From ACT! for America: Lawsuit filed against NYPD

Subject: Lawsuit filed against NYPD

Visit our News page June 11, 2012 Lawsuit filed against NYPD NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly Dear Lee, The New Jersey Attorney General's office recently completed an investigation of the New York Police Department's surveillance program. It concluded the NYPD did nothing wrong. And while Muslims like Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, who oppose groups like CAIR, have come out in support of the NYPD, other Muslims are continuing to allege the NYPD's tactics are unconstitutional. See the post from Jihad Watch below. Suit against NYPD asks that surveillance of Muslims based on faith be declared unconstitutional http://www.jihadwatch.org/2012/06/suit-against-nypd-asks-that-surveillance-of-muslims-based-on-faith-be-declared-unconstitutional.html Islamic jihadists murder and terrorize other people based on their faith, but it is not permissible for Infidel authorities to take that into account. By actions like this one, Islamic supremacists in the U.S. are determined to end all effective resistance to their jihad. More on this story. "Suit against NYPD asks that surveillance of Muslims based on faith be declared unconstitutional," by James Queally for The Star-Ledger, June 6 (thanks to Benedict): NEWARK — The New York Police Department's years-long surveillance of Muslim businesses and mosques throughout the Northeast denigrated the Islamic faith and violated the constitutional rights of countless Muslim-Americans, according to a federal lawsuit filed in Newark today. The suit, which is the first legal challenge of the NYPD's spy operations, could mark the beginning of a historical movement, said Farhana Khera, executive director of Muslim Advocates, the civil rights group filing the suit on behalf of several New Jersey residents. "This lawsuit is perhaps the most important legal challenge brought to date by American Muslims," Khera said. The eight plaintiffs are all Muslims from New Jersey and include a U.S. Army reservist, a Newark business owner who served in Vietnam and the imams of several mosques who were targeted by the NYPD Surveillance and Demographics unit. The suit is calling for a "declaratory judgment" which labels specific surveillance of Muslims based on faith unconstitutional, said Glenn Katon, the legal director for Muslim Advocates. Katon is also seeking a court order prohibiting the NYPD from future surveillance of Muslims based on faith and the destruction of all records compiled by the NYPD during its spy operations. "When the NYPD says all Muslims are suspects we have a clear case of government denigrating religion," Katon said. The OIC is trying to pressure Western countries to criminalize "denigration of religion." Katon said that while the lawsuit is focused on New Jersey residents, further legal action could involve New York residents as well. Muslim Advocates considered including Newark police in the lawsuit, but ultimately there were too many conflicting reports about the extent of their involvement in NYPD operations in New Jersey. All eight plaintiffs were New Jersey residents that were in one way or another watched during NYPD's operations including at least two members of Rutgers' Muslim Student Association. In the month since the Associated Press released a 50-page document detailing the NYPD's actions in Newark, several Muslim leaders in New Jersey have spoken out on the ways the report has had a "chilling effect" on the Muslim community. "This is a blanket victimization of a suspect class," said specialist Farhaj Hassan, a U.S. Army reservist and one of the plaintiffs. "I think this is what the pilgrims crossed the ocean to avoid." The suit comes two weeks after State Attorney Jeffrey Chiesa announced the completion of a three-month review into the NYPD's actions in New Jersey. His office found New York investigators did nothing wrong or criminal, leaving many Muslim leaders in New Jersey to feel like the lawsuit was a last resort to vindicate themselves. "They don't have the right to spy and do surveillance on innocent people, on good citizens," said Newark Imam Abdul Kareem Muhammad. The NYPD could not be reached for comment immediately, but on Tuesday NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Public Information Paul Browne said, "I refer you to the New Jersey AG's report and to the fact that NYPD activities in New Jersey were lawful, appropriate and in keeping with efforts there, in New York, and around the world to prevent terrorists from returning here to kill more New Yorkers." Indeed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Make sure you receive all of your messages from ACT for America.
