Eric Holder sues school for Muslim who was refused Muslim pilgrimage leave. Attorney General Eric Holder, who refused to prosecute Black Panthers for voter intimidation and was actually connected to a company that was tied to a terrorist group, is using the might of the federal government to sue the Berkeley school district in the state of Illinois. The Chicago-area school district is a party in a lawsuit filed in Chicago federal court just this past Monday, and it’s all on behalf of a Muslim woman by the name of Safoorah Khan. It seems that Khan thought that McArthur Middle School had a duty to accommodate her demands to give her leave for three whole weeks in 2008 so she could attend the hajj. When the school refused her request, Khan became vindictive and somehow got Holder to sue for her.

Would Holder stand up for me if I wanted to leave my job for a month to go to Israel as a Christian?

Islam needs to be eradicated by any means necessary.

Holiday conversions could become a new strategy: everyone should be Muslim for three weeks in their life.

This is not a big deal since it clearly falls under the reasonable accommodations part of the ADA. It should apply equally to all religions. She will win. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing, and the school has substitutes.

My problem is Holder’s selective enforcement. The government didn’t have to get behind this, and IIRC usually doesn’t.

Unbelievable that the FEDS would want to involve themselves in this trivia.
