Costco Akbar!

by JASmius



Ah, the "officially" sacred, inviolable Muslim oversensibilities:

A man is suing Costco for religious discrimination.

He tells Eyewitness News exclusively that when he refused to work with pork, the major retailer sent him outside to gather carts.

"Just because you have a different belief, that doesn't give anybody the right to treat you different," said Jean Camara, suing Costco.

First things first: Mr. Camara is suing Costco, not blowing up Costco outlets, which makes him a "moderate" Muslim who's attempting to force Sharia on the retailer in court rather than by the sword.

That fulfills the "fairness" obligation we don't really have and wouldn't accept even if it was required of us.

Second, did Mr. Camara really not know that Costco sells hams, bacon, and pork loins?  Hell, Easter is coming up the end of this month.

Third, they didn't fire his ass on the spot for insubordination, which is more consideration than my son received from Fred Meyer last summer.  To the contrary, they accommodated him by assigning him duties (presumably at no reduction in pay that the union CBA wouldn't have allowed in any case) that didn't require him to touch swine and booze.  Yet Mr. Camara actually claims not to know why he was reassigned.  Which tells you all you need to know about his candlepower betwixt the ears, and why he didn't get the plumb assignment he was really after:

Camara says he asked his managers if he could work in the electronics department, but his requests were repeatedly denied.

He ended up filing a human rights complaint against the company.

Sixteen days later, he was fired for insubordinate conduct.

"We all share different beliefs so we all should be treated equally no matter what belief we have," Camara said.

But Mr. Camara didn't want to be treated equally; he wanted special treatment on the grounds that he's a Muslim.  And if he doesn't win this frivolous suit, he can always blow up the Costco after all.

Kinda makes you wonder how he'd have reacted if he'd been working in the bakery department and been assigned to bake a "wedding" cake for a homosexual "couple," a duty from which no evangelical Christian would ever be excused on religious or any other grounds.

As I say, it's all about sacred, inviolable Muslim sensibilities.  So much so that evidently we're not allowed to even defend ourselves in deliciously poetically just ways:

An American inventor has unveiled an offensive “anti-terror” system designed to spray Muslims with pig blood.

The highly controversial device is the work of tinpot tinkerer Franklin R. Lacy, who works in Tampa, Florida.

He has applied for a patent on a “system for protecting against terrorist and illegal invasion” which cruelly exploits the Islamic ban on eating or even handling pork.

His invention involves placing containers of clearly labelled pig blood in sensitive areas, in the hope suicide attackers would avoid detonating a bomb nearby for fear of getting covered in it.

These vials of blood could be attached to trip wires and spray Muslims with the forbidden substance if they enter a certain area.

“It will keep suicide bombers from blowing themselves up near the container of pig blood because they believe that they would be guaranteed not to go to heaven,” Lacy wrote.

Humorous and ingenious at the same time, no?  Hey, one good middle finger deserves another, I always say.

As if to illustrate the effectiveness of Mr. Lacy's invention....:

Fiyaz Mughal, director of the interfaith group Faith Matters, said the device has “been created by someone who seeks to humiliate specific faiths”.

Note the plural.

“The patent is particularly troubling if used against Jews or Muslims, because it would be deeply offensive and insulting to their faith and beliefs,” Mughal continued.

I'm sure Jewish jihadists would be duly outraged if there was such a thing.

“It also means that such a product could foment community tensions and so this is very troubling indeed. One has to wonder about the mindset of someone producing such a product.”

The "community tensions" already exist, Director Mughal, and we didn't create them.  Which tells us all we need to know about your "mindset".

And, before I forget.....
