A woman was recently fired for eating BLT at work, in a place that said they had a "no pork policy"
Lina Morales has a beef over pork.Morales claims she was fired for eating pork products in the lunchroom of Rising Star Telecommunications, a Florida-based firm. Company officials say they have a policy against pork because of their many Muslim workers and clients.
According to Islamic beliefs, pork is unclean, and Rising Star Telecommunications CEO Kujaatele Kweli says his company has a policy against openly eating or preparing the meat.
The company said Morales was repeatedly warned about the no-pork rule and was fired after eating a BLT at work.
When Morales complained she was being disciplined for a policy of which she was unaware, she was terminated for insubordination.
So much for the religion of "peace" and tolerance. It seems, much like modern American liberals, they are only tolerant when it is their beliefs which are to be tolerated.
Do you know what offends me? When three thousand people are killed by Islamofascists and you hear nearly nothing from Muslim clerics and leaders around the world.
Religion of peace and tolerance my ass.
I remember when I got married in November of 2001, just a few months after 9/11. In the chapel where we got married there was a small Muslim prayer room. During the tour the chapel director told us that we were not allowed in there because we were not Muslim. It would offend the Muslims. I felt like walking in there with my dirty shoes just to piss them off.
Could it be they don't want us in there because that is where they plan their bad deeds?
I don't care if they are offended by someone eating pork or someone who isn't Muslim walking through their prayer room. I'm offended when they kill us. So don't piss and moan about someone eating a BLT.
