Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Would You Like Fries With That Anti-Muslim Hate Crime?

Aug 19, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

My latest in PJ Media:

If “hate crimes” targeting Muslims do not exist, they must be invented. They’re simply too politically useful to do without. And so it is that the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is aiding a Muslim woman, Diamond Powell of Baltimore, in her discrimination lawsuit against Susdewitt Management LLC of Lanham, Maryland, which runs two McDonald’s locations at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. Ms. Powell has the flimsiest of cases, but this kind of suit doesn’t depend on the strength of the evidence.

Why is Diamond Powell suing? Well, you see, she came into work wearing a hijab and “a manager told her to ‘take that hoodie off’ her head while another manager told her, ‘You don’t have to wait for God to wake up for you to pray.’”

In other contexts that might be taken as mild banter or good-natured ribbing. Or maybe you think it is impossibly rude. Even if it was, people say rude things to each other all the time, and in most cases they’re not considered grounds for a federal lawsuit. But when “Islamophobia” and CAIR lawyers, ever vigilant in their pursuit of justice, are in play, it’s an entirely different ballgame.

Powell also charges that McDonald’s refused to allow her to pray at the required times. Yet using this as the basis for a federal lawsuit is entirely spurious. Even at a 2017 conference whining about alleged “Islamophobia” and smearing those who call attention to jihad terror, one Muslim spokesman acknowledged that missed prayers can be made up: “One man asked how an employer is to deal with Muslim employees, given their need for prayer, (Dr. Tabasum Hussein, a panelist who joined the Q and A, answered that ‘We don’t stop fire fighting or surgery to pray. We can make it up later.’)”

There is much more. Read the rest here.

    She has no right to demand to be “allowed to pray” on the job. Period. End of discussion. I am assuming that she did not negotiate that with management at the time of her hiring and is sneaking it in because she knows she can get away with it or at least get a lawsuit out of it and so do the thugs and goons at CAIR who don’t want the feeelthy kuffar to know that they don’t “have to” interrupt work to pray.

    It is impossible to be “rude” to a Muslim who is trying to make you submit.

      If this shrill muslima insists on the right to have time off to pray then atheist employees should insist on the right to have equal time off NOT to pray.
      The best solution is to keep religion out of the workplace and stop pandering to muslims.
      There is nothing more virtue-signalling than the female convert to islam insisting that everybody else put up with her religious hijab:meanwhile in iran women are jailed for refusing to wear such a head garment …and they don’t have the luxury of abandoning islam and converting to another religion.

      CAIR seem like the islamic version of ambulance-chasing lawyers always playing the race/’islamophobia’ card

    Muslims are ALWAYS the victim, with the aid of mega-millions/CAIR/Muslim Brotherhood/Muslim lawyers/funding from afar, they sue at every fabricated opportunity$.

    It seems that the same Muslim prayers that disrupt the economies of Muslim nations intend to do the same in the West. If permitted to make up prayer time, when missed, does that imply that when work is missed for prayer that work time will be, “made up”?

    How dies that work on assembly lines or businesses with known busy times?

      All of this muslim prayer hook and snook mess in the work force is all part of the overall muslim plan…(world domination) So…Muslims in the work force, in politics, in Jihad, in businesses, using our freedoms and laws and using all of these, and much more, to advance their “plan” Is working but those of us who can see through the islamophobia evil know what’s happening. Too bad for our country when our….. so called leaders…. are filled with so much FEAR to pass laws to address this situation or even speak out about what’s happening, that nothing will be done and therefore the “muslim plan” Will continue if “WE” don’t stand up and demand our …..so called leaders…..take action…one other thing….the corona virus situation is also working to the muslim’s
      advantage be cause it draws attention away from their agenda.
      If I sound like an islamophobic, racist, bigot….well it may take a lot of such to WAKE UP THE SLEEPING TIGER

    Grimly hilarious. Yes, these cases have to be ginned up.

    The name of the religion means submission. Muslims are commanded by their god to MAKE EVERYONE SUBMIT. Never submit to them in even the smallest way. Their demands will never end until you have submitted in EVERY way.

    • James Lincoln says

      CogitoErgoSum,

      100% correct.

      muslims are actually “looking for slap,” testing the boundaries.

      They will continue to push to the point where they are resisted…

    Never hire a Muslim. Its not racism or islamophobia or whatever. Its just plain common sense, you will have less demands for special privileges and less security issues. And who wants to see a headbag when ordering food? It would put me off for a start.

    EMPLOYERS SHOULD LEARN ABOUT *DARURA* …

    “DARURA” is the Sharia doctrine of “NECESSITY”. Muslims can forego any Islamic ruling when necessary and not commit a sin. Darura is the equivalent of the saying, “NO PROBLEM!”

    DARURA applies wherever Sharia Law is NOT the law of the land … because … Koran 4:28 “Allah wishes to lighten your burden, for man was created weak.”

    If a Muslim is hungry, he may eat pork. If meat is not halal, a Muslim may say a special prayer and it *magically* becomes halal.

    If it is inconvenient to pray, the Muslim may defer prayer until another time. If a female Muslim *needs* to swim in the local pool, watched by males, then she may do so, if there is no other pool. If a Muslim cab driver does not want a working blind guide dog in his cab because Islam considers dogs filthy and because he will need immediately to clean his cab inside and out, he does not have to cleanse it, if it interferes with earning a living. *MAGIC DARURA*.

    When the circumstances are difficult, and Sharia law is not in force, a Muslim’s burden is lightened. Ordinarily, Muslims are obligated to pray and not handle pork, for instance, but if the circumstances are difficult, then the requirements are lightened. This explains the concept of *DARURA* (necessity).

    If it is necessary, what is ‘forbidden’ is permitted. If a Muslim is hungry and there is no halal (Sharia-compliant) food, then he can eat ANY food.

    If a Muslim is where he cannot pray, then the prayer may be done later.

    If Sharia law has not been implemented in a place, then a Muslim may also handle pork, for example, with no consequences.

    Darura is the easy way for Muslims to turn ‘HARAM’ *magically* into ‘HALAL’ !!! ‘No problem!’

    This is just the attack that you can expect when your open border laws allow the muslim/islamic migration invasion to take place. These immigrants are not coming here to become citizens of America, they are coming here to take over America with there ideology of a religious dictatorship. World domination is their plan.

    Remember Joe Biden was seen and heard pandering to the Muslims. He tells them he’ll do away with Trump’s not allowing
    Muslims from certain countries. The worst Muslims are the new converts who are Black, pity they haven’t gotten the message that Muslims hate Blacks and slavery is very much part of Islam. As a health care professional who worked for the government I didn’t ask to go to the Chapel and pray. CAIR is a terrorist organization and shouldn’t even be allowed to exist in our country. Remember folks with Muslims, Country doesn’t come first only Islam does. It is so sad that we have Muslims in our government like Tlaib and Omar who have expressed their goal is to make the United States all Islam. Obama really screwed up our country by letting all the rif-raf (sp) in. And by the way to all Muslims if you’re not happy here, just leave, no locks to keep you in, wish there were locks to keep y’all out. In God we Trust.

      Of course CSIR should be classed sith other muslim terrorist groups ….but what about all the other muslim organizations. and those tied to the muslim brotherhood ???? In a way ALL Muslims organizations are terrorist groups because their main agenda is to overwrought our government and established sharia ….It’s in their book of hate..the koran

      • J D S says

        Aug 22, 2020 at 10:11 am

        Oops…should be CAIR..NOT CASR….

    I absolutely agree with you, Islam is a “Invasion Ideology” for the purpose of world domination. They are invading our schools, work places and our politics while our Politicians continue to cater to them. This is a great example, Congress Woman
    Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.). has committed the biggest string of felonies of the century and has been proven and Prosecutors refuse
    to Prosecute her why? Because she is a Muslim and a person of color which I am tired of hearing. If this was the average citizen you be in prison for at least twenty yrs. And just think! A criminal allowed to make laws we will have to follow.
    And here is some more catering to Muslims, Joe Biden boldly stated in a clip on T.V. that we need to teach more of the Islamic faith in our schools, and you can count on the so called “squad” to make decisions for Joe that will help the destruction of this Country. In 1952 it became Law and was reaffirmed in 1965 that Islam is not allowed in the U.S. chapter 2 section 212 . We just have politicians with no back bone.
