Muslims Get Last Laugh Against Swift: Win $365k Lawsuit

Found this today on jihadwatch.org, and I'm torn between laughing my butt off at the pure inanity of this result, and being completely outraged that yet another submission to "the religion of peace" has occurred. Of course there's gonna be ire, but it's actually kinda humorous to me, that a court could really be this incredibly stupid. It's really beyond human comprehension.

But so goes life.

Muslims get last laugh at Swift: Plant must pay $365,000 to Muslims fired for walking off job.

An update on this story, which played out essentially as predicted although that earlier post referred to the controversy at a different plant. The principles in play are the same. "Minnesota Plant That Fired Muslims for Taking Prayer Breaks Will Pay $365,000," from AP, November 11 (thanks to Islam In Action):

MINNEAPOLIS — Under a settlement to a federal lawsuit, up to 100 Somali Muslims who are current or former workers at Gold'n Plump Inc. will receive a total of $365,000.

The settlement was filed in Minneapolis on Friday. It sprang from allegations of religious discrimination at the company's chicken processing plants in Cold Spring and Arcadia, Wis.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed lawsuits against St. Cloud-based Gold'n Plump and the Work Connection Inc., an employment agency in St. Paul, which handled some hiring for the plant.

Under the settlement, Gold'n Plump agreed to pay $215,000 to workers who were terminated for taking prayer breaks.

The Work Connection will pay $150,000 to workers who were asked to sign a form acknowledging that they might be required to handle pork, which many Muslims consider unclean....

(This last line in the dhimmiwatch article really says it all.)

So the proposition that Muslims have special privileges in American society, to which others are not privy, is now enshrined in precedent.

For another bit of humor, there was an amazing concept thrown out to the masses in the comments section of this same article on dhimmiwatch written by jdamn;

"I was doing some research on PTSD, from which I suffer after having been stalked by a Muhammadan at school. I throw up every time I have to go to class and it sucks. Since PTSD is usually characterized by feeling unsafe when one actually is pretty safe, and since I not only have to keep returning to every place that makes me feel unsafe, but I actually am completely unsafe, my PTSD may not be surmountable. Anyway, I read an article about veterans with PTSD who get service dogs. They're allowed to take them everywhere the public is allowed. Not only does it violate federal law for anyone to ask why they have service dogs, but it's also illegal to in any way outwardly take issue with someone having a service dog. So that's the answer: MORE SERVICE DOGS. I'm asking my psychologist about it on Monday. Not only would it make me feel safe, but it would do double duty as Muhammadan repellent. They could help root out Muslims in every workplace. MORE SERVICE DOGS! Plus it gives more dogs homes and it even gives prisoners something to do, since many of them are trained in prisons. I'm sooooo getting one."

Sign me up for one of those dogs jdamn.
