Muslim sues NYPD for refusing to hire him after he said homosexuals should be locked up

Remember: wherever Islamic law and practice and American law and practice conflict, it is American law and practice that has to give way. The NYPD probably wouldn't hire anyone who said that he thought that homosexuals should be imprisoned; after all, there are a lot of gays in New York City, and a policeman who isn't going to treat all people fairly is not much of a policeman. But no such considerations matter when it comes to Islam.

"Anti-gay Muslim cries bias," by Helen Freund and Laura Italiano in the New York Post, June 12 (thanks to Ron):

The NYPD wouldn’t hire him — because he is anti-gay, a Police Academy reject complains in a startling new discrimination lawsuit.
The would-be cop from Brooklyn — identified only as “Farhan Doe” — is a Muslim-American who believes homosexuality is a sin as a matter of religious principal [sic], according to the suit.

Doe deserves to be in the NYPD, despite checking the “yes” box next to the question, “Do you believe that homosexuals should be locked up,” in 2009, when he applied, said his lawyer, Jerold Levine.

When Doe — who works as an auxiliary cop in Brooklyn — applied to the Police Academy the next year, he’d softened his views, still believing homosexuality is a sin, but no longer believing gays should be arrested, Levine said.

“They pro forma denied him again — saying he couldn’t possibly be a police officer,” the lawyer said. “The First Amendment is very clear, saying that you can’t discriminate against someone because they have a view you do not like,” he said....

Indeed, but doesn't that principle apply also to "Farhan Doe," if he were hired as a policeman and had to deal with gays?

“The First Amendment is very clear, saying that you can’t discriminate against someone because they have a view you do not like,” he said....

Straight out of the anti-American jihadi playbook; cite The Constitution (for which they don't acknowledge or respect) to argue in favor of someone who, if hired by NYPD, could not perform his job as an officer of THE LAW in line with The Constitution.

The Constitution provides equal treatment FOR EVERYONE (even scumbag muslims) under our laws that these stinkbeard bastards don't respect anyways. If the Chief of the NYPD had a pair, he would hire Farthand Duh as a janitor for the filthiest police bathrooms he could find (or create). Sure, give Farthand a job; "Officer" Farthand could spew his views on anything intolerant that his book of hate says after that. But only when those toilet bowls are clean enough for HIM to eat off of.

Just let him do it through the handle of a broken mop in a small non-ventilated crapper in the police station basement after three shifts ate burritos for breakfast lunch and dinner and spackled the same latrine. Farthand then could bow down and pray to his precious moooohamed (may piss be upon him) in the likeness of brown-liquid beans, cabbage, onions, pork, salsa and jalapeno peppers.

allah akbar that, bitch!

"The would-be cop from Brooklyn — identified only as “Farhan Doe” — is a Muslim-American who believes homosexuality is a sin as a matter of religious principal [sic], according to the suit."

Wonder if 'Doe Mo' believes his prophet Mo and the issue of pedophilia would be a sin as a matter of religious principal.

"When Doe — who works as an auxiliary cop in Brooklyn — applied to the Police Academy the next year, he’d softened his views, still believing homosexuality is a sin, but no longer believing gays should be arrested, Levine said."

Wonder of 'Doe Mo' since softing his views on homesexuality, but still believing it is a sin and stating to beileve he would no longer arrest gays, would be so inclined to view pedophilia the same and not be inclined to arrest such offenders.

Wellington, hope you are well.

Your comments, long or short, are always a breath of fresh air on Jihad Watch. Said it before myself, as others have, but you are well appreciated. You remind me much of Hugh Fitzgerald with his depth of knowledge at wit.

I try to contribute my nickels work at times, but in the end sometimes it turns into a plug nickel.

Fighting this insanity is a serious cause, a serious infection on society, and a dire threat to humanity. Islam is an infection whose spores are now traveling the wind infecting all good in life, systems created by centuries of learning and experience, all who face the threat of Islam, whose vile and contemptuous creed and followers spread hatred and blight infecting the entire world.

Early shift in morning, have to turn in, my best to you and your family.

This one can be filed under Under the Bus Watch -- one more instance where Muslims are trying to -- and may well get -- special treatment over and above other minorities favored by PC MC. If gays, or women, or blacks, or Hispanics conflict with the Extra Special Deferments accorded to Muslims increasingly by our PC MC societies, it is any one or all of the former who must be thrown under the bus.

The reason for this is logical: non-Muslim minorities won't explode when you deny them privileges.

And what would he think should be done with someone who is Ethiopian, Jewish and gay - like the rapper, Yitz Jordan?

Clown!

Well, if he has softened his views, why doesn't he just take the test again and this time write his softer answers?

The NYPD can't be expected to know that his views have softened. They only know what's on his original application.

Are you kidding me? this sorry piece of shit Moslem thinks he deserves to get a job with NYP if he checked yes for locking gays up and then sues,if that asslifter gets a job every racist in America should apply to NYP,because this Moslem racist would lock up every Jew,Catholic,All Christians and all people that disagreed with that Quran,Islam is the biggest threat to the west's freedom of speech and all freedom we enjoy here in America, every American should be up in arms against Islam and the prophet Mohammed.

The comments are interesting. A couple of PC/MC trolls get swatted down repeatedly.

What took this case so long? Tell me. Someone, please tell me, please, that you had anticipated this too.
Doesn't anyone see what's coming? "coming"? It's here.

Good article. I think that this wholly unsustainable bubble of accommodating Islam will burst once Turkey starts to flex its muscle in the neighborhood, reprising its historic role. Turks are the largest foreign ethnic group in Germany, and their embrace of Turkish pan-nationalism will prove to be a rude awakening for Germans.

War will return to Europe, in some form or other. Those who attempted political stuntsmanship by tying up with Islam will be thoroughly discredited.

Five things we can all count on.

1. Sharia Law is the "only law" Islam will obey.

2. Muhammad was the perfect man. All Muslims must try to duplicate Muhammad.

3. Muslims must always be identified as the innocent victim.

4. Being Muslim is never a part time commitment. Followers of Islam are commitment 24-7. Islam has no such thing as a "Golden Rule".

5. There is no other religion or ideology except that of Allah thru Muhammad. If you are not Muslim you are evil and must be killed. All nations and cultures will become Islamic and subjugated by Islam.

That said, the U.S. legislators would all do will to understand these five Islamic rules, if they want to be effective in matters of Islam. Until that day we are all closer to subjugation each day.
