| Tribuni Angusticlavii | Post; Muslims at Target wont handle porkhttp://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17665989/ Ok sure you can do what you want I don't care that they object to handling pork, however I have two issues with this. One they chose to work there in the first place, don't like it find another job. Two wouldn't working for Target and knowing they sell pork go against their religion as well (they way it seems to be stated), I mean if you wont touch it to ring it up because it goes against your beliefs than would not the participation in the sale be just as bad and therefore working for a place that sold it also be as bad? I just done see their logic.... Please before you throw in your two cents read the linked article, I will not simply copy paste the article due to copyright infringement.

Exactly what I thought when I heard it. I doubt that Amish would work in a liquor store either but it doesn't make headlines. It's just more of the "praying imams" tactics, they got themselves kicked off an airplane for mimicking hijackers when they boarded. Now, they're suing the airline, crew, and all the passengers their lawyers can find.

| Tribuni Angusticlavii | Don't like it, get another job. NYPD had an issue with a Sikh years ago, he felt despite uniform regulations he should be exempt because of his religious beliefs when it came to wearing a turban. In the end, the city bent and let him wear it, now I think there are a few wandering around. Pretty sad when working specific jobs become a "right" as opposed to a privilege.

| Tribunus Laticlavius | I think you all missed the huge contradiction of all this. The Koran only forbids the EATING of pork, it says nothing about handling it. I have a Muslim friend whose daughter has a baby pig (as a pet).
