New Jersey Muslim and Hamas-CAIR file complaint with EEOC: boss told her to remove hijab for safety concerns

16 Comments

Safety concerns be damned. There is no pleasing Islamic supremacists. It’s all about Islamic demands countermanding secular mores.

Safety is an issue, and the headscarf is a hazard in certain situations. Just last week a Muslim woman in her 30s died after her headscarf became caught in a subway station escalator. But Hamas-CAIR is not concerned with safety; it has one objective: the imposition of Islamic supremacism.

It’s a win-win for Muslim supremacists. If they allowed her to violate safety requirements, she could sue if anything happened to her. If they protect their workers and insist that she remove the headscarf, she sues and tries to hit paydirt, while Muslim Brotherhood group CAIR can ululate about “islamophobia.”

Is it any surprise that Muslim Brotherhood group CAIR is teaming with a Muslim Brotherhood supporter? Check out her facebook page. Her profile pic is the symbol of the violent, supremacist Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.

New Jersey Muslima and Hamas-linked CAIR complain to EEOC: boss told her to remove hijab for safety concerns (thanks to Robert Spencer)

NaimaMnasriThe company says it’s a safety issue, but Hamas-linked CAIR and Naima Mnasri (whose Facebook page, pictured above, sports the pro-Muslim Brotherhood Rabia symbol), aren’t buying it: they are sure it is “Islamophobia,” and you greasy Islamophobic Infidels know what you can do with your safety concerns. Safety concerns are jahiliyya! Sure, just a couple of weeks ago in Montreal, a Muslim woman got her hijab caught in an escalator and was killed, but it was the will of Allah! Wherever Islamic law and American law, conflict, American law must give way! There is no negotiation or compromise on this point, kaffir!

“N.J. Muslim woman claims bosses ordered her to remove headscarf,” by Carol Kuruvilla for the New York Daily News, February 8:

A Muslim woman is crying foul after managers at a New Jersey factory told her to take off her headscarf.

Naima Mnasri, of Elmwood Park, claims her supervisor at Paradigm Packaging told her to get rid of her hijab, a religious head covering. According to NJ.com, the boss said it was a safety issue. But Mnasri called it religious discrimination.

“She informed the supervisor that it is a fundamental part of her religion that she wears her headscarf, as she is an observant Muslim,” a complaint filed by New Jersey’s Council on American-Islamic Relations reads. “The supervisor restated that she remove her headscarf for safety concerns and added that no religious symbol is permitted in the factory.”

The incident happened on Mnasri’s second day of work at the plastic vitamin bottling company in Saddle Brook. She was waiting for an assignment when the supervisor came by and “singled” her out. The day before, she had reportedly worked at the factory without a problem.

The frustrated woman went over to a floor manager about the issue, only to hear the same order repeated yet again. She left the job that same day.

CAIR-NJ filed a complaint on her behalf with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The organization’s civil rights director Khurrum Ali said that Paradigm Packaging didn’t try to “reasonably accommodate” Mnasri’s religious beliefs.

“As required by the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, the company cannot require an employee to violate or forego a sincerely held religious belief as a term or condition of obtaining or retaining employment,”Ali wrote in the statement.

In the meantime, Mnasri has found another job through the same agency that placed her at Paradigm.

    Horrendous. Stop giving any jobs to muslims. That is the only way to prevent lawsuits.

    I live in Montreal where that 47 year old woman died – her hijab got caught in the escalator and when she bent down to try and get it out, her hair got caught and by the time they got to her it was too late. I can’t understand how they can say it was the will of Allah. That’s just sick minds trying to justify it. Definitely there should be safety rules, and if you can’t obey these for your own safety, you need to get another job!! Yes, they are trying to impose their religious laws over all other laws – and it needs to stop!!! They are not in “the old country” any more – they need to show respect for all our laws – or go back where they came from!!!!

    Muslims should not be in this country, they are our enemy and we are at war with them.

      The U.S. should end all immigration from Muslim countries, and end immigration of Muslims to the U.S. The problem with the latter is that they can always claim they’re not Muslims. The only way you can stop Muslim immigration is to forbid immigration to this country from predominately Muslim countries. That will NEVER happen as long as Zero is president.

        Muslim immigration into this country has taken place under both Democrat and Republican leadership. Be careful what you wish for…. I think you will find in the end there is not much difference.

        Remember, it was G.W. Bush that said “Islam is a Religion of Peace”.

          Indeed, indeed, indeed.

          All too easily we willing forget or pretend.

  • oldwhiteguy

    Does America now have legeslation against firing people for ‘inability to do the job’?
    If she cannot fullfill thesafety regulations she is incompetent.
    No one says she cannot wear her head scarf, she just cannot have that job and wear it.

      The real issue is that they love to indulge in lawfare. Legal jihad. She’s after jizya and putting the dhimmis in their place.

    Go Home!

    It looks like the Muslima was hired through a temp agency. If she was they should have told the agency they didn’t want her back after she objected to removing her hijab.

    If they interviewed her for the job and she was wearing the hijab then they should have known in advance what to expect. If she was not wearing the hijab at the interview then she misrepresented herself which wouldn’t surprise me.

    Either way this is where our country is heading and it’s not in a good direction. The company I worked for would give us 30 days off without pay for violating safety regulations. If you did it a second time you very well could lose your job. Some companies will fire you for a first time violation of safety regulations.

    Good Luck to the company involved. If I was in charge of a company like this I would do my best to make sure no Muslims would be working there. Not having the demands for prayer time, foot baths, etc. along with the other headaches are worth the risks of a discrimination lawsuit.

    Now, we are finding out what that Hate Crime Law is really being used for.

    The danger from loose headscarves is real.

    “Tuğba Erdoğan was wearing the security belt, but she reportedly tied it
    around her neck instead of her chest. However, after the first
    inspection, police forces said Erdoğan’s scarf got tangled in the shaft
    of the cart, which led to the tragedy.”

    If my religion requires that I wrap my body in aluminum foil can I demand that my boss allow me to work around electrical equipment?

    Obeying Allah and his Messenger trumps all else; just as the
    Qur’an asserts, they are not even believers until they accept the orders and judgments, in all things, of Allah’s Messenger, and submit themselves to it/them without objection.

    Hence the hadith to disregard the orders or judgment of
    anyone who judges by other than Allah’s Book. Basic Islam.
