We see it again and again: wherever Islamic law and custom and American law and custom conflict, it is American law and custom that have to give way. Charee Stanley and Hamas-linked CAIR talk a great deal here about rights, but what about the rights of the passengers? It is not illegal (yet) to drink alcohol on flights in the U.S. Stanley has no right to be a flight attendant and to force ExpressJet Airlines to change the way it does business in order to accommodate her. She could instead get a job that didn’t require her to serve alcohol. But the objective here isn’t really about her rights or her job at all; it is to reinforce yet again the principle that Muslims must be accommodated at all costs, in all situations, no matter what.
“Muslim Civil Liberties Group Claims Airline Violated Flight Attendant’s Constitutional Rights,” CBS Detroit, September 1, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
FARMINGTON HILLS (WWJ) – A Muslim flight attendant has filed a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEO) claiming she was suspended from her job for not serving alcohol — which is against her religious beliefs.
Lena Masri, an attorney for the Council of American Islamic Relations Michigan (CAIR), says Charee Stanley followed management’s directions, working out an arrangement with her coworkers to accommodate passenger requests for alcohol.
However, Masri said, ExpressJet Airlines put Stanley on administrative leave after another attendant filed “an Islamophobic complaint” that referenced Stanley’s head scarf.
“We notified ExpressJet Airlines of its obligation under the law to reasonably accommodate Ms. Stanley’s religious beliefs,” Masri said at a news conference in Farmington Hills on Tuesday. “Instead, ExpressJet close to violate Ms. Stanely’s constitutional rights, placed her on administrative leave for 12 months after which her employment may be administratively terminated.”
Masri said the arrangement Stanley had with other attendants to serve the alcohol for her had been working out just fine since Stanley converted to Islam about a month after becoming a flight attendant for ExpressJet.
“I don’t think that I should have to choose between practicing my religion properly or earning a living,” Stanley said. “I shouldn’t have to choose between one or the other, because they’re both important.”
Contacted by WWJ Newsradio 950 for comment, airline spokesman Jarek Beem responded with the following statement:
“At ExpressJet, we embrace and respect the values of all of our team members. We are an equal opportunity employer with a long history of diversity in our workforce. As Ms. Stanley is an employee, we are not able to comment on her personnel matters.”
CAIR is America’s largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization, with the mission “to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding.”
Why does the mainstream media constantly repeat Hamas-linked CAIR’s self-description without critical comment or the slightest skepticism — something it never does with AFDI or any other counter-jihad group?

I think some of these Muslims are pulling the wool over your eyes in the U.S.! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2528388/Not-just-u-turn-M-amp-S-u-turn-Now-chain-apologises-Muslim-check-girl-refused-sell-alcohol-customer.html

Since she had the job before she *converted* to the death cult, she knew the rules of the job and that the scarf wasn’t going to fit in with her responsibilities; and she most likely had been serving the drinks.
Getting someone to serve the drinks seemed to be working out for her without a lawsuit, so he had to begin wearing the headgear.
To bow, perchance to have to cough up some money.just might be in store for the airlines.
If she wins, will the clerk in Kentucky who had her job before things changed and is now in legal danger, also win? Probably not.
islam is the beast and the beast is on a roll.
j says
She arbitrarily and without notice changed her conditions of employment. She has no case.
k8 says
Another Islamic subservient woman. It’s akin to our welfare system which kowtow’s to undeserving recipients who the Democrats serve.
Charli Main says
I though that the drinking of alcohol was prohibited in islam, so how does just serving alcohol violate her newly acquired beliefs ??????
As others have suggested, this has the smell of one of America´s favourite words–COMPENSATION.
Mark says
The thing is if a Buddhist or Hindu flight attendant claimed that they were discriminated against by having to serve meat they’d be laughed out of court. I wouldn’t be surprised if the court supports this case on an effort not to be seen as Islamaphobic.
medaber_emet says
serving alcohol is part of the job
if she has religious conflict with her job
then she should have quit that job and find more appropriate job
i dont know maybe serving tea in one of the mosques.
why Jewish employees dont make a fuss of serving pork ?
its only muslims that always impose and force their barbaric retarded primitive evil Sharia law.
if once i hated muslims
now i want to puke when i see one
i really am amazed to see that americans are so incredibly stupid not to see islam for what it is and not recognize the grave threat that it inflict upon america
i really pray that some day america would wake up
but it doesnt happening and this means that islam will take over america and the world
jayell says
“,,,if once i hated muslims now i want to puke when i see one….”
Rather robustly put (shall we say?) but if a lot of people don’t already agree with this, things are fast moving that way. I can’t make up my mind where the problem lies. Lack of self-awareness? lack of social awareness? lack of consideration for others? or plain lack of respoect for others? sociopathy? paranoia? arrogance? bigotry? Clearly if this female knew what this job entailed, had been doing it, but now does not want to do it, then you hand in your resignation. Simple. You don’t make a total prat of yourself in this way unless you’ve got a bit of a screw loose for one of the reasons above, or unless you’re simply a bit unhinged generally or you’ve just moved to Earth from the planet Zog. In which case what you need is a bit of realistric ‘treatment’ or ‘education’, not indulgent sympathy courtesy of the civil courts. And by the way, I noticed…”However, Masri said, ExpressJet Airlines put Stanley on administrative leave after another attendant filed “an Islamophobic complaint” that referenced Stanley’s head scarf…..” So, SHE can can complain about everyone/everything else, but no-one else is allowed to complain about HER????
jayell says
Sorry. Forgot. We’ve had this sort of thing over here in the UK with muslim supermarket checkout workers refusing to handle alcohol. And I think one or two tried it on with handling pork as well. Maybe it all just comes down to nasty, bigotted arraogance after all.
cranky.white.woman says
Don’t lump all Americans in the “incredibly stupid” pile. I’ve known the truth about Islam since I was 17 years old…that’s how old I was when the Iranian “students” carried out their siege on our Embassy in Tehran, and I decided I wanted to learn more about the people who were holding my people hostage.
Huck Folder says
“Stanley converted to Islam about a month AFTER becoming a flight attendant for ExpressJet.”
Then surely that employer has NO OBLIGATION to pander to her whims?
NYa nya, nya nya nya. I’M a VEGETARIAN NOW, I WON’T SERVE MEAT.
“claiming she was suspended from her job for not serving alcohol — which is against her religious beliefs.”
It wasn’t against her beliefs before she drank the Koolaid.
Why doesn’t her SPINELESS employer sue her for a year’s ‘administrative leave’ shakedown money?
GO TO COURT – let TERRORIST ORGANIZATION cair’s lawyers show the judge, where in the BoH™ it states that she CANNOT SERVE ALCOHOL.
Not only is that inept ‘airline’ making a rod for its own back, its making one for EVERY REAL AMERICAN. And a moslem is not, never can be, A REAL AMERICAN. Because A REAL AMERICAN has an UNDIVIDED ALLEGIANCE to America. Ditto for every country on this planet.
At best, a moslem is equivocal; maybe the umma is first sometimes, maybe America. For the real JIHADISTS, islam/the umma is FIRST, LAST, AND ALWAYS, like Major Hassan.
And I question EVERY aspect of that ExpressJet Airlines. If they are such PISS-POOR managers, the general public, at least the 98% non-zombies should consider other, safer options.
Let them rename themselves Expressmo Airlines with 100% moslem flight, cabin, and maintenance crew, and carrying moslems only.
Bloody obvious mantra: If there were no islam, this and a thousand other problems couldn’t happen.

– what about “waiting” on non believers?
This pious Muslima should really find a more Islamic job…
particolor says
There is only one ? Being called to bed with no refusal Permitted !! 🙂 🙂
Keith says
Isn’t serving alcohol part of the job description of a flight attendant? If so surely she should have thought about that before applying for the job or changing her religion to Islam whilst employed as a flight attendant.
This is the same a a shop assistant refusing to checkout pork or alcohol because of his/her religion, they are there to serve the customer not to impose their religious beliefs on everyone else.
The company should give her a choice she moves to a job that does not serve alcohol or she leaves or is sacked.

“Why does the mainstream media constantly repeat Hamas-linked CAIR’s self-description without critical comment or the slightest skepticism — something it never does with AFDI or any other counter-jihad group?”
Robert,why do you not put out a short one paragraph self description and give that to the main stream media to repeat.
or repeat it in your posts so those reading it know where you ,AFDI and other counter-jihad groups stand.
sidney penny says
Next she will say I cannot serve pork to passengers..
George S. says
In 2011, the then French President Nicolas Sarkozy told it truthfully. “We have been too concerned about the identity of the person who was arriving and not enough about the identity of the country that was receiving him,” he said in a television interview in which he declared the concept a “failure”.
In the same year Prime Minister David Camoron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Australia’s former prime minister John Howard and former Spanish prime minister Jose Maria Aznar Have also admitted that MC has not worked.
The muzzies and their incessant demands and complaints have very much destroyed the identity of many European countries, and yet the moronic politicians still insist on letting muzzie hordes flood into their countries.
I think this woman should be fired and sent back to the bloody hell-hole from which she came – she is just a lying, conniving, muzzie gold-digger.

The Islamapocalypse is here.
Sandra says
Turkish Airlines serves alcohol. Qatar Airlines serves alcohol. I know. I order it on every flight. People I talk to about things like this, all of whom are Muslim, are absolutely pragmatic on the issue: get another job. Muslims in the west are taking the piss every chance they get. Our rights are going to screw us in the end if we don’t start standing up to such foolishness.
Richard says
There will be no end to such capricious demands until authorities get real and their foot down.

No end to this until “authorities” get real? This just might mean no end to this until this part of North America becomes “The United Islamic States of America”…
BC says
There is an easy way to deal with this kind of nonsense. When they are interviewed they are shown a form with the job description and what is expected of them. They can sign it or they do not get a job.
Kaffir007 says
Indeed, good idea BC. Should apply to All jobs.
I could imagine a Muslima suing playboy for not hiring her as a playmate ( cause religious discrimination) winning the lawsuit, and then become centerfold, posing in a full body-bag, burkah or trash bag….
BC says
CAIR has become a much too powerful organisation which operates against the wishes of the majority of non Muslims in USA and perverts the intentions of the constitution for its own ends ie. the supremacy of Muslims, It should be reined in especially as its ties to terrorism are well established.
David says
It was a disgrace that the Obama administration went after Abercrombie and Fitch on the head scarf issue. A and F had a practice of hiring the hottest lookers (both male and female) in their stores and would send recruiters out to find them. I remember one Mom that I knew who thought a woman from A and F who approached her son about a job there was trying to hit on him. .
Apparently according to the Obama administration, it was okay for A and F not to hire older employees, overweight people and anyone who wasn’t considered hot but it wasn’t okay to not hire a Muslim woman who insisted on wearing a head scarf. That shows the complete lack of integrity in this administration.
In this case, the stewardess accepted the job. The job involves serving alcohol to passengers who request it. She should be fired for that refusal to do what is clearly part of her job. If the job violates her religious beliefs, she shouldn’t have taken it.
Midway says
No we didn’t see this coming. These people don’t assimilate, never compromise & are always demanding.

Does the TSA screen the airline employees before they begin their shifts? What’s to keep a Muslim employee from bringing a bomb or gun aboard the aircraft?
machira says
It sets the stage for a vegetarian/Vegan airline employee tomorrow who refuses to
serve meat because his/her religion says so. America is sinking into a hole of political correctness
because of the islam than anything else.
Brent says
The basis for her complaint will be the requirement that employers accommodate her religious practices. That is the law. But I have a question. One, it is legal to consume alcohol, regardless of whether one thinks that is a good idea. Two, however, US law does require employers, where possible, to accommodate religious practices. Therefore, how is this flight attendant’s case any different than the court clerk in Kentucky who, for religious reasons, refuses to issue marriage certificates to same-sex couples? Like the flight attendant, she is refusing for religious reasons. Like the flight attendant situation there are others who could accommodate the legal request without compromising her religious beliefs. Like the flight attendant, the requested activity–consuming alcohol, same sex marriage–are legal activities. Yet, this flight attendant draws sympathy and will no doubt win her EEOC complaint while the court clerk is being hauled before a judge and threatened with contempt of court and imprisonment. Why the different treatments for what are, essentially, similar, if not identical, situations?
Douglas J Light says
So this woman can refuse service to customers based on her religious faith, but it only took one day for SCOTUS to announce that a marriage clerk in Kentucky can not.
Scott M says
Day-by-day…the pressure builds. I used to think that we would all cave in and we’d all become islamified. Not anymore.I sense a lot of people who have just about had enough of fucking islam and muslims – everyday – some where – some place – these maggots are pissing people off and there is going to be a massive push-back. It cannot come soon enough. We are definitely at war with activist muslims and leftists.

Hey, Budvar Ackbar — what are the Mensheviks? And the demo-Communist? and the Rino parties? And hosing the WH out? Your pronouncements are incoherent, and you’re going to piss off a whole lot of counter-jihadists with your irrational upchucking of terms that make sense only to certifiable lunatics.
Frankly, you sound like you’ve been out of it for quite some time. So take a break and give us one: get out of here while there’s still time.
R Smith says
Come on, what’s incoherent about it? It was pretty straight forward in what was said, except the “the be scrubbed” part, but that being just a type o, that should read “to be scrubbed” very easy to figure that one out.

Piet Hein wrote during HitIer’s reign:
Problems worthy of attack
prove their worth by hitting back.
islan is just that: a problem hitting back. BHO. HRC along with Kerry and a few others are bowing to shariah. Period.
They are busy pointing out our sins etc. all while the men of islam are abusers of young children and women not to mention gays while old men are merely expendable. Being a Christian merely expedites your death. When will nonmuslims wake up to the goal of caliphate and just say no to more immigrating?
R Smith says
No, we are not at war with islam, islam has declared war on all who differentiate from 1 interpretation of the quran. So it is islam which is at war with all, from the atheist right down to the second to the last follower of islam. Now we have to wake up a few more folk as to the reality of islam, then maybe we’ll render it impotent, and send it slithering back to between the two mosques from which it slithered out from.
As far as this gal filing a complaint goes, she knew the job requirements before taking the job, so she shouldn’t have taken the job knowing this, and then to try and infringe upon the airlines right to do business in an open and lawful manor, she is on the attack, and it is not the other way around, if she refuses to do the job she was hired to do, then there is only 2 ways to handle it, 1 transfer her to another position within the company or end her employment. I think ending her employment is the right way to go, as she wasn’t honest with the employer when she took the job.
Angemon says
Sorry sweetie, you knew what you were required to do in your line of work. If you’re unable to do what you signed up for because you had a change of heart AFTER signing up (a.k.a., the old “bait and switch”) it’s not up to your employer to change their practices to suit your needs, it’s up to you to change your line of work to something more palatable for your tragically islamic tastes.
Shane says
She has no right to any job. If she cannot do part of the job, then she should be fired. Muslim taxi drivers have refused to transport guys with alcohol and have been rightly fired. Same thing here.
bernie says
Shane: good point. Let’s say someone is a non-Muslim bus or taxi driver, then converts to Islam, and says that they won’t let on blind passengers with guide dogs, or people carrying shopping bags with alcohol or pork, or people wearing crosses, yarmulkes, Sikh turbans or Buddhist robes, or unveiled women, or people with LGBT rainbow shirts. Well, tough luck. If you can’t do the job, then you should look for another job that doesn’t offend your religious sensibilities.
Where are the Mormons complaining about having jobs which require them to handle or serve alcohol, or Jews bemoaning the fact that their jobs may necessitate that they handle pork? I have yet to hear one such case in the U.S. at least.
Beagle says
Brilliant.
1) Get a job working with alcohol.
2) Convert to Islam.
3) Permanent coffee break.
David Langdown says
She is totally unsuitable for this type of job. What if Pork is on the menu, I suppose she will be telling the passenger that he cannot have his meal because she has changed her religion.
What should have happened is that she should have done the decent thing and resigned her job
Budvarakbar says
Muslim + decent = = doesn’t add up
Carolyne says
Surprised she doesn’t want to wear a burka while at work. This is the same as if a stenographer refuses to type, saying it is against her religion. Could she get a job as a bartender and then refuse to serve alcohol? Probably.
She is serving the public. How is this different from a baker who refuses to bake a cake for a gay wedding?
Vivarto says
Disgusting Muhammadan terrorist trying to impose her values on others.
I am vegetarian, so I don’t see job as a waiter in a non-vegetarian restaurant.
Same way, if serving alcohol does not suit her, she should get a job with Muhammadan airlines.
Nelson Abdullah says
In America, today, all religions are considered equal, but in reality some are more equal than others. Sounds familiar? It is a paraphrase to George Orwell’s Animal Farm.
CBS in Detroit is reporting a story about an American Muslim flight attendant, working for a U.S. airline, who has refused to serve alcohol to passengers because it violates her religious beliefs. And CAIR, the so-called Muslim civil rights groups has jumped up to defend her.
“Muslim Civil Liberties Group Claims Airline Violated Flight Attendant’s Constitutional Rights,” CBS Detroit, September 1, 2015
http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2015/09/01/muslim-civil-liberties-group-files-eeo-complaint-claiming-airline-violated-flight-attendants-constitutional-rights/
Read what the report says and compare it to the the Rowan County Clerk’s argument in Kentucky. And lets see which group is more successful in defending their religious rights.
Snip:
FARMINGTON HILLS (WWJ) – A Muslim flight attendant has filed a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEO) claiming she was suspended from her job for not serving alcohol — which is against her religious beliefs.
Masri said the arrangement Stanley had with other attendants to serve the alcohol for her had been working out just fine since Stanley converted to Islam about a month after becoming a flight attendant for ExpressJet.
“I don’t think that I should have to choose between practicing my religion properly or earning a living,” Stanley said. “I shouldn’t have to choose between one or the other, because they’re both important.”
This is a comment to the story posted on Townhall about the Rowan County, Kentucky Christian county clerk:
http://townhall.com/columnists/terryjeffrey/2015/09/02/can-a-christian-be-a-county-clerk-in-america-n2046774/page/2
By the way, Townhall, a conservative web site, only recognizes and allows comments made by people who subscribe to the liberal Facebook, which I do not. That is why this comments is written from this POV.
mortimer says
In other words, only Muslims have the right to discriminate on the basis of religion.
mortimer says
“I don’t think that I should have to choose between practicing my religion properly or earning a living,” Stanley said. She is wrong of course. How much is one’s integrity worth? Moreover, not everyone has the privilege of a high-paying, world-jogging, glamorous job in an airline.
Her argument is not reasonable: she went into the job with a full understanding of the tasks.
As Jesus said, ‘No man can serve two masters.’
“Equal opportunity” does not mean “unequal job requirements”. It means ALL employees do the SAME jobs in their job description…that’s EQUALITY.
ninetyninepct says
Her “religion”: stops her from some occupations so she has a choice. Change “religions” or look for work that the “religion” allows. No wonder so many intelligent people are so disgusted with Islam.
Jay Boo says

It’s not about rights or discrimination, it’s about another entitled, lazy POS getting paid. She’s probably on welfare too.
pennant8 says
If the big Middle East airlines such s Emirates and Saudi Arabia which fly into major US airports daily serve alcoholic beverages, which I suspect they do, then this flight attendants case is never going to get off the ground, so to speak.
Nelson Abdullah says
A lawyer probating my father’s estate told me of an interesting lunch meeting with an Arab official from the Moroccan Embassy. When the alcohol drinks were served the lawyer asked how a Muslim can drink something against his religion. The Arab dipped his finger into his drink and flicks away a drop of it saying, Muslims never drink a drop of alcohol.
simon says
Another attempt to change the laws to suit Islam. When will the Islamophobia end !!
Glenwood R. Jarman says
The article “Muslim flight attendant files EEOC complaint after suspension for refusing to serve alcohol” points out two issues. One is the lady who has refused to issue a marriage license to a gay couple is facing the full weight of the government here is one where someone changes religion and expects everyone to bow to her wishes. This woman was content to accept a position where serving alcohol is part of the job and because she changes her religion, the company must comply with her wishes while a woman who has worked for over thirty years issuing licenses to men and women must now change her religious believes. This is plain insanity.
Peggy says
Neither one has the right to change conditions of their employment unilaterally.
Both have to be told that it’s part of their job and if they can’t do their job then they should look for something else to do.
Maybe the flight attendant can become part of their ground staff and the clerk can work in their accounts department.
MKG says
Ma’am, can you please bring me a beer?
I need it to wash down my ham sandwich.
Peggy says
And then burp in your face.
MKG says
Aaaahhhh! That was good. Now bring me another
Harry_the_Horrible says
Last time I checked, it is only against Shari’a to DRINK alcoholic beverages. It is not against their stupid law to serve it to an infidel.
Jews can’t mix milk and meat, and the stricter ones keep separate sets of cooking utensils for them. But they won’t use that as an excuse to not serve a Gentile a cheeseburger.
gravenimage says
This is all true, Harry–but this isn’t about Muslims being able to practice their faith.
This is about *imposing their faith on others*.
selahgreene says
If a new flight attendant takes a job where one of the requirements of the job is serving alcohol, and then demands that her religious conviction against serving alcohol be accommodated, then shouldn’t Kim Davis, Rowan County Kentucky court clerk, be accommodated so that she doesn’t have to violate her religious beliefs in the issuing of marriage certificates to same sex couples? There were no marriage certificates for gays and lesbians when Ms. Davis took her job years ago, yet she is now being ordered to violate her religious convictions in issuing marriage licenses. We accommodate Muslims, but thrash Christians.
Tess says

Muslims can go back to their holy land, eat sand, and leave us alone. this is so stupid. I vote with my feet, I DO NOT PURCHASE ANY PRODUCTS, FOOD, SERVICES of ANY kind of muslims are working in the store…. particularly the hijab or worst yet, a BURKA. MY life is too short to be surrounded by such reression, retardation of 1000 years and a bunch of idiotic mumbo jumbo but it is how women are brainswashed, how they are degraded, that irrates me. This religion exploits the weak. we should not condone it. it should be ILLLEGAL and considered not a religion but CULT!!!!! Islam is a CULT!
