Oh hey, now I see why the Investment Bankers crime spree have been overlooked by the Department of Justice.
I mean, this woman's religious rights to walk with a million people, are so much more important to represent than investigating real criminals.
Oh wait, I seem to recall something about separation of church and state.
Oh well rules no longer count here in the United States and if they do count, they change daily. Maybe I missed a change.
But in any case it really does piss me off they way the taxpayers money is wasted on this kind of crap. I mean it's not like the pilgrimage is a once in a life time thing, there is always next year.
But I guess in this instant gratification world, she didn't want to wait, and the DoJ thought her cause was important enough that she shouldn't have to.
A school district is being sued for not allowing a Muslim teacher to take unpaid leave to make a pilgrimage to Mecca.
The Federal Government has brought the case on behalf of Safoorah Khan, claiming that it is a violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
It is the duty of every Muslim to join the million of pilgrims at the Hajj in Mecca at least once in their lifetime - and the middle school teacher had hoped to go in 2008.
