The Obama Administration’s taxpayer-funded Islamic defense program has been quite busy this week, filing several discrimination lawsuits on behalf of Muslims in different parts of the country and holding Justice Department meetings to discuss prosecuting “anti-Muslim hate speech.”
The legal actions come on the same week that the White House and various federal agencies—including the Department of Homeland Security—hosted a special workshop to provide members of radical Islamic groups with direct access to U.S. government funding, assistance and resources. Read all about that here.
Now the administration is flexing its legal muscle in its ardent quest to befriend the enemy. A federal civil rights agency known as the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has filed discrimination lawsuits against companies in Nebraska, California and Colorado for discriminating against Muslims by not accommodating prayer breaks and forbidding a headscarf on the job.
The government sued meatpacking plants in Greeley Colorado and Grand Island Nebraska for religious and racial harassment because dozens of Muslim employees were “denied prayer time” during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. The lawsuit seeks changes to policies and procedures to accommodate Muslim workers, payment for past and future damages and punitive damages.
In a third lawsuit filed this week the EEOC claims that an outdoor apparel store discriminated against a Muslim female job applicant in northern California because she wore a headscarf known as a hijab. The company has a longstanding employee dress code banning any sort of head covering but the government asserts that in this particular case it’s discriminating on the basis of religion.
Also this week, the Justice Department met with a coalition of Islamic groups that demand the administration criminally prosecute anti-Muslim rhetoric as hate speech. Besides investing more resources to combat discrimination against Muslims, coalition leaders want Attorney General Eric Holder to “make a strong public statement” condemning hate crimes, harassment and discrimination against Muslims.http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2010/s…

The story of migration as it has been unfolding in the U.S. with Mexicans, and Europe with Muslims, is quite similar and will be more of a lasting intergenerational cultural experience because these immigrants are either avoiding or resisting assimilation. So the issue will have a long shelf life.
Germany, which experienced a massive influx of Turkish Muslims in the 1960s, is an interesting example. In a 2008 speech in Cologne, Germany, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdogan told a cheering crowd of 16,000 Turkish Germans to resist assimilation. (This is compatible with the teachings of influential Islamic leaders who preach the establishment of a worldwide caliphate founded on Shariah law.)
On German soil, he said to Germany’s largest ethnic minority, “Assimilation is crime against humanity.” What chutzpah. But recall Mexican President Felipe Calderon, with encouragement from President Obama, blasting Arizona’s immigration law on American soil before a joint session of Congress. Calderon was gentler than Harper, one of the oldest continuously published U.S. magazines, which referred to the Arizona legislature as “dimwits, racists and cranks.”).
In Britain, The Times U.K. reported their “Muslim population has multiplied 10 times faster than the rest of society, the research by the Office for National Statistics reveals.” And this is a country whose largest ethnic minority is Indian.
France has the largest Muslim population in Europe which presents a challenge to France’s secular, multicultural ethos, since Islam believes their faith cannot be separated from the state — that secularism is against the law of Allah.
This is probably the same belief that is causing British Muslims to resist overtures from Prime Minister David Cameron, who wants to recognize Muslims as a part of Britain’s multicultural society and entice them into a coalition. Muslims present a unique problem.
Their influx into a post-Christian Europe in large numbers started in the post World War II era, yet their attitudes have been amazingly resistant to European culture as their numbers have grown.
So the emerging generations in Europe will continue to witness the same negative experiences as prior generations. It just won’t go away. Or to echo Harvard Professor Samuel Huntington’s thesis in his classic Clash of Civilizations, “The fundamental source of conflict in this new world will not be … ideological … or economic … The dominating source of conflict will be cultural.”
He argues Islam itself “is a different civilization who are convinced of the superiority of their culture,” and as a result, “have problems living peaceably with their neighbors.” He believed the lack of “core states” prevented the growth of both the world of Islam and Latin America.
Shift gears from Europe to the U.S. and our Latinos — or Hispanics, if you prefer. This is the largest and youngest minority group in the U.S., with one out of four newborns being Hispanic, partly because of “birthright” citizenship being granted to the newborns of illegal immigrants.
More than half of Mexican immigrants are illegal, and its share of the student population has doubled in slightly over a decade.
The Hispanic population in the U.S., excluding Puerto Rico, is 47 million, making Hispanics the largest ethnic minority. (This compares with 53 million Muslims in Europe, with a population of 830 million — more than two-and-a-half times the U.S. — according to the German Central Institute
“Now the administration is flexing its legal muscle in its ardent quest to befriend the enemy.”
Muslim-Americans are Americans and are entitled to all the rights forthwith. They are not “the enemy,” that’s just offensive. What ever happened to believing in liberty and justice for all?
Liberty and justice for all, not just for you and your buddies. Deal with it.
November it will all be over in 8 weeks.
You’re well on your way to that riot you speak of.
After looking at your source my answer is, they didn’t
One answer.. OUR MUSLIM PRESIDENT.
He doesn’t mind spending our money to defend his own!
It amazes me of the ignorance of some people thinking that Islam is wanting to befriend America. Islam is not Americas friend but their enemy. Muslims are believers in Islam and live by those rules. We are nothing but infidels to them. We have an administration that has slipped into office like a snake in the grass and is setting us up to be overtaken.
Look at Obama during the Pledge of Allegiance. He shows absolutely no respect for America. He will stand by the Muslims, but profess to be Christian and not allow or take part in Christian Rights Movements. This man is a LIAR! It is beyond me on how ALL of America cannot see this.
I’d like to know what kind of jobs are not allowing Muslims to wear head scarves or take prayer breaks. Each and every one probably has a very good reason for not allowing those things, and yet the Muslims, aided by the racially obsessed Obuma Cabal, just love to make a stink about it. They’re not discriminating against a religion, but upholding their business practices. If a Christian asked to take a prayer break at work, they wouldn’t be accommodated, and you wouldn’t hear them suing over it. But Obuma and his cronies are on a track to legislate people’s feelings about anything that’s not white and Christian/Jewish.
