On September 3rd, Mayor Bloomberg of New York City signed into law the Workplace Religious Freedoms Act, making the municipality the first in the country to institute religious-based protections for public workers. The bill, originally lobbied by the Sikh Coalition in New York, now opens the door for organizations such as CAIR to fight for Sharia Law inclusion for Islamic public workers as well.
The bill, called the “Workplace Religious Freedom Act” by supporters, would change the legal standard by which courts review claims of religious workplace discrimination by public and private city employees.
While the new law signed by Mayor Bloomberg does not force either the MTA or NYPD to accept Sikhs with their full articles of faith, it creates a legal framework within city law that makes it very difficult to continue to exclude them from city jobs. – Panthic.org

New York City's new relgious freedoms law comes on the heels of President Obama's initiative for more diversity in the workplace. Before the President's vacation to Martha's Vineyard in August, he signed an Executive Order calling for more diversity in public sector and federal employment.
These moves by President Obama and Mayor Bloomberg for greater diversity focus on the religious freedoms of a few, but do not count the overall costs, or potential conflicts that may arise when people of Christian or Jewish faiths choose to express their diversity in their places of work. Merit-based hiring is the law under Federal and legal guidelines, and so too is equality when it comes to promotions, and regulatory accomodation. Under the new law, a religious Sikh may wear the customary turban and Kirpan, but legal rulings still prohibit many Christians from displaying crosses, or other articles on work attire expressing their faiths and beliefs. Couple this with the numerous religious observances between the different faiths, and the new law in New York City may soon extend to a disparity in days off, or holiday observance between one employee and another.
In January of this year, the Islamic organization CAIR already sought institution of Sharia Law in the workplace in the state of Indiana. Now that New York has passed a law requiring public environments to accomodate religious observances, it will not be long before CAIR, or another Islamic organization, demands its rights and accomodation for their religious beliefs.
The Constitution expressly prohibits the government imposing any form of religious separation in areas it controls under the public domain. While the First Amendment has been interpreted to mean full separation, in reality it means they cannot impose a religious belief on others, or to a point where it discriminates against someone of a different belief.
Since 9/11, there have been many accomodations by both the Federal government, and Mayor Bloomberg to appease those of religious beliefs outside the foundational Judeo-Christian sphere. With the inclusion of Islam at the 9/11 memorial site, and this new law appealing primarily to the Sikh population when it comes to workplace freedoms, the concept of diversity and appeasement in America is giving way to separation, rather than adaptation and equality.

informed rational freedom loving people have all the reasons in the world to fear islam...
ReplyDeletemuslims do not assimilate into western society because islam is a theocracy and demands supremacy. there is no radical, moderate, hijacked or any other nuanced semanticism type of islam. there is only islam which is based on the life of MOHAMHEAD...
Mohamhead was a 7th century murdering warlord who rose to power on a river of blood surrounded by thugs and gangsters using intimidation, violence, deception and trickery to expand their criminal empire while mercilessly suppressing and killing their opponents and enriching themselves on stolen booty.
The koran is a collection of sayings and speeches by this diabolical madman claiming divine guidance from some mythical sky-god which has inspired generations of crazed fanatics to abhorrent behavior resulting in historys worst ever crimes against humanity starting 1400 years ago and still continuing even today.
Islam is just another fascist totalitarian ideology used by power hungry fanatics on yet another quest for worldwide domination and includes all the usual human rights abuses & suppression of freedoms.
