No More “Equal Treatment”

Muslim Truck Drivers Fired for Refusing to Deliver Beer

What ever happened to religious freedom in America? Isn’t this one of the founding principles of this country? Well, now the Federal Government is taking sides on employer disputes involving religious beliefs:

A jury has awarded $240,000 in damages to two Muslim truck drivers who sued their former employer for religious discrimination after they were fired for refusing to make beer deliveries.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission won the case on behalf of the Obama administration.

Critics have pointed out that the administration has taken a different position when it comes to defending Christians’ religious liberty, as the drivers’ argument was similar to the one made by Kim Davis when she refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

These Muslims weren’t fired for their religious beliefs. They were fired for refusing to do their jobs.

Likewise, Kim Davis wasn’t held in contempt for her religious beliefs. She was held because she refused to do the job she was elected to perform.

Either the Fed got it wrong on the Kim Davis case, or they ruled incorrectly in this case.

Or, the equal protection of religious expression really doesn’t matter anymore.
