What do you think of Target, Costco surrendering to muslim sharia requests?

I think that if a private company opts to do that for their employees then that should be 100% their call.

The question of whether they should be legally mandated to do so is a quite different one.

I think people should be allowed to wear whatever they want.

I think Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster members shouldn't be forced to checkout Italian food.

Private company. They can do whatever they want to.

I'm sick of the office pandering I Christian requests

who cares? If you don't like it don't go there. Or better yet, pick up a big ole hunk of pork meat and seek out the women in burkas to axe for a price check and advice on cooking. Chase them gurls all around the store with your pork in hand... Stand up for America!

I couldn't care less, just like I couldn't care less if their cashiers say Merry Christmas during the holidays.

If you don't like it, you don't have to shop there. I'm why it would bother anyone. Would you be angry if a Jewish person refused to ring up your pork?

I'm fairly certain many places make allowances for Baptists and others on ringing up alcohol sales but if you want to see American Sharia that imposes itself upon others look no further than blue laws that create dry counties and/or severely limit the right to sell/purchase alcohol in a county or city (those originated and remain because of or protestant lobbying and have no other basis).

If you're from Louisiana you probably don't have the same strict blue laws and dry counties that affect those states with strong Baptist (and similar) protestant sects that imposed these laws, including prohibiting alcohol sales in counties as well as on Sundays. Jewish employees also don't have to work around certain meats and there are other religious based policies as employers wish to accommodate religious employes and avoid any violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits religious discrimination and requires accommodation so long as it doesn't put an undue burden on employers. Grocery stores and convenience stores, sell alcohol in many areas and employee 16 year olds unable by law to ring it up. Managers and other typically walk over and do so as it's no big deal to put your key in to ring up a single item.

IOW, we've been doing this level of accommodation for ages so I really see no problem with it. It doesn't burden anyone for someone to wear a scarf - my grandmother used to wear head scarves all the times as did Jackie O./Kennedy.

Did their stock rise because of it? if so, then frick yea!
