More news from New Somalia:
Muslim women file suit over work dress code.... http://www.startribune.com/19303124.html A group of Muslim workers allege they were fired by a New Brighton tortilla factory for refusing to wear uniforms that they say were immodest by Islamic standards.
Six Somali women claim they were ordered by a manager to wear pants and shirts to work instead of their traditional Islamic clothing of loose-fitting skirts and scarves, according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a civil liberties group that is representing the women.
The women have filed a religious discrimination complaint with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
"For these women, wearing tight-fitting pants is like being naked," said Valerie Shirley, a spokeswoman for the Minnesota chapter of CAIR. "It's simply not an option."
Now of course you know there is more to this story than the media is willing to admit.
These women work in a factory. Is there any factory that would allow anyone to wear loose fitting clothes with scarfs? Especially when working near or around things like conveyor belts?
The women's traditional clothing was loose-fitting but never posed a safety risk, Shirley said, because the six women put tortillas in packages and did not work near machinery. "Tortillas came down a conveyor belt onto a table and they packaged them with their hands," she said. "There wasn't even the potential of a safety hazard."
Now just imagine if these unreasonable scum win this lawsuit. Then suppose down the road one of these women get their scarves caught in a conveyor and is strangled to death. It would be the government's fault. But guess who would be sued?
