When Muslim Truck Drivers are Fired for Not Delivering Beer, Court Has an Unbelievable Response

“The Obama administration actually represented the two Muslims in this case. But has sometimes taken a very different position in the case of Christians trying to assert their religious beliefs.”

Written by Mike Miller | Sunday, November 8, 2015

The U.S government and the courts can’t legally have one set of laws for Christians and another set of laws for Muslims and other religious groups. This court’s ruling throws into relief that not all Americans are legally recognized as possessing religious liberty and freedom of conscience.

 

Two Muslim truck drivers who sued their former employer for religious discrimination after being fired for refusing to make beer deliveries have been awarded $240,000 by a jury.

And the Obama administration represented them in the case.

Fox News host Megyn Kelly was flabbergasted:

“The Obama administration actually represented the two Muslims in this case. But has sometimes taken a very different position in the case of Christians trying to assert their religious beliefs.”

She then said to Fox News senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano:

“So in the case of the Muslim truck drivers, the Obama administration through the EEOC is all in. This is what they said:

‘We are proud to support the rights of workers to equal treatment in the workplace without having to sacrifice their religious beliefs or practices; it’s fundamental to the American principles of religious freedom and tolerance.’

But when it comes to the Christian bakers, it’s not as fundamental.”
