Wegman's is going to get hosed

[Culvercreek hunt club]

Heard on the news at noon. Wegmans has cashier (s) that are Muslim. They refuse to handle any pork products or alcohol. Wegmans is having to post a sign on the line where these cashier (s) are working . Asking to respect their religious views and move to another line if you have any of these items in you cart. Wegmans is really stuck here. one wrong move and the laysuits will start.

What are your thoughts?

My view, ringing out items that come down the belt is a condition of employemnt for that position. If you don't want or can't do that then apply for a different position. It isn't like they held the position and all of a sudden Wegmans decided to stat to carry pork products and alcohol.

If I am allergic to peanut....do I apply to Planters and expect them to make it a peanut free environment? What about the athiest at Halmark...do they refuse to ring out cards that have to do with Christmas or Easter?

I am about at a 9.95 out of 10 on the fed up meter

This country started to really go downhill in the last 30 years. Mostly due to entitlements and lawyers. Everybody wants,,,, but not willing to go and earn it. I am white and am discriminated against in many ways. United WE stand. Divided We fall.Open your eyes Americans..

I agree with you, theres no way an employer should have to put up with nonsense like this.

[burmjohn]

They should not be Cashiers then. If its a requirement, then that job is not for you.

[wooffer]

They don't want to be cashiers and its not about them handling them pork. You need to watch www.thethirdjihad.com to understand what is going on. Muslims know they must break this country down from the inside out. They are doing this all over the country and filing lawsuits every chance they get. Go to Amaxzon and buy a book Islam, educate yourselves and your children before it is too late.

Because we are the only species with a thought process complex enough to question our origins.

This is typical Muslim hypocrosy, rape a girl and then she has to marry the rapist to rid her family of being raped. This is an example of Sharia law.

Suicide of Moroccan girl, 16, forced to marry rapist sparks outrage

Published March 15, 2012

  March 15, 2012: Women hold up pictures of their relatives, religious and political prisoners who are on hunger strike in Moroccan jails, as they take part in a protest to demand their release in Rabat.
  

RABAT, Morocco – The case of a 16-year-old girl who killed herself after she was forced to marry her rapist has spurred outrage among Morocco's internet activists and calls for changes to the country's laws.

An online petition, a Facebook page and countless tweets expressed horror over the suicide of Amina Filali, who swallowed rat poison on Saturday to protest her marriage to the man who raped her a year earlier.

Article 475 of the Moroccan penal code allows for the "kidnapper" of a minor to marry his victim to escape prosecution, and it has been used to justify a traditional practice of making a rapist marry his victim to preserve the honor of the woman's family.

"Amina, 16, was triply violated, by her rapist, by tradition and by Article 475 of the Moroccan law," tweeted activist Abadila Maaelaynine.

Abdelaziz Nouaydi, who runs the Adala Assocation for legal reform, said a judge can recommend marriage only in the case of agreement by the victim and both families.

"It is not something that happens a great deal — it is very rare," he said, but admitted that the family of the victim sometimes agrees out of fear that she won't be able to find a husband if it is known she was raped.

The marriage is then pushed on the victim by the families to avoid scandal, said Fouzia Assouli, president of Democratic League for Women's Rights.

"It is unfortunately a recurring phenomenon," she said."We have been asking for years for the cancellation of Article 475 of the penal code which allows the rapist to escape justice."

The victim's father said in an interview with an online Moroccan newspaper that it was the court officials who suggested from the beginning the marriage option when they reported the rape.

"The prosecutor advised my daughter to marry, he said 'go and make the marriage contract,'" said Lahcen Filali in an interview that appeared on goud.ma Tuesday night.

In many societies, the loss of a woman's virginity outside of wedlock is a huge stain of honor on the family.

In many parts of the Middle East, there is a tradition whereby a rapist can escape prosecution if he marries his victim, thereby restoring her honor. There is a similar injunction in the Old Testament's Book of Deuteronomy

Morocco updated its family code in 2004 in a landmark improvement of the situation of women, but activists say there's still room for improvement.

In cases of rape, the burden of proof is often on the victim and if she can't prove she was attacked, a woman risks being prosecuted for debauchery.

"In Morocco, the law protects public morality but not the individual," said Assouli, adding that legislation outlawing all forms of violence against women, including rape within marriage, has been stuck in the government since 2006.

According to the father's interview, the girl was accosted on the street and raped when she was 15, but it was two months before she told her parents.

He said the court pushed the marriage, even though the perpetrator initially refused. He only consented when faced with prosecution. The penalty for rape is between five and 10 years in prison, but rises to 10 to 20 in the case of a minor.

Filali said Amina complained to her mother that her husband was beating her repeatedly during the five months of marriage but that her mother counseled patience.

A Facebook page called "We are all Amina Filali" has been formed and an online petition calling for Morocco to end the practice of marrying rapists and their victims has already gathered more than 1,000 signatures.

[Doc]

I've got an idea ......... have them wear rubber gloves. That way they don't have to touch the pork.

[Pat Rockets]

Or a claw like the claw game..lol..and i believe woofer is an android..cause who the hell types that crap..

[Elmo]

#1. They shouldn't be cashiers to begin with. I say re-assign them to a different task or simply fire them. It was not as if the employer mislead them to believe there wouldn't be any pork or alcohol products during the interview/hiring process and then all of a sudden, sprung this on them. Yes, I once threaten to fire a female worker because she pulled the sexist card on me because I forced her to lift heavy objects and she couldn't keep up with the rest of the guys. I then pulled up a copy of the job posting that clearly stated "must be able to lift heavy objects".

#2. Yes, I think an understanding of Islam is also a good idea. Then we can differentiate the difference between true Islam and the radicals. Even the author of "The Third Jihad" clearly makes that point in his "Anatomy of a Smear" video of saying he was targetting the radicals and not speaking of Islam as a whole. To say so would be similar to saying all Catholics and Christians are racist because of the KKK.

[WNYBuckHunter]

The pork is already wrapped in plastic, and the alcohol is in glass or aluminum.

That is perfect Doc. I was actually wondering if they could find a way around it but I was thinking....do they wash all their money before they touch it? Do they clean out the shopping cart before they use it. There are a lot of thing that could have secondary "contamination" ...or is this just a convenient wasy to be less productive that the other cashiers.

[wooffer]

They should return to their own country of origin and practice their ideology (not theology) there. These people are sick, here's another one. They are big tine pedophiles also. The Quran does not the age of a minor sold into marriage.

Afghan Child-Bride Sahar Gul Tortured Mercilessly by Husband and In-Laws

And Muslims keep telling us that the West needs to submit to Islam.

AFGHANISTAN

--A video given to the BBC shows the extent of the injuries suffered by a 15 year-old Afghan child bride who was locked up and tortured by her husband.

The girl was left starving after being detained by him and his family for several months.

The case came to light this week when police rescued the teenager, Sahar Gul, who had been locked up in the basement of her in-laws' house.

Police say that she had had her nails and clumps of hair pulled out.

In addition they say she had chunks of flesh cut out with pliers.

Sahar Gul was married off to a 30-year-old man around seven months ago, when she was just 14 years old. Her parents contacted police after not being able to see her for several months.

She was rescued from a dark, windowless room in her in-laws' house, according to Baghlan police official Jawid Basharat.

In the video, as Sahar is taken to hospital in a wheelchair, she is asked who beat her. She names her father-in-law, her husband, her sister-in-law, her brother-in-law and her mother-in-law. The 15-year-old says her hair and her nails were pulled out by her mother-in-law.

The authorities in the northern Baghlan province said they were aware of reports that the girl was tortured after she refused to be forced into prostitution, but could not confirm that was the case.

Rahima Zarifi, director of the Women's Affairs Department in Baghlan, said Sahar had been severely tortured, both physically and mentally, and that the psychological scars were likely to endure.

The police have managed to arrest Sahar's in-laws, but her husband had already fled.

Women in many parts of Afghanistan continue to suffer domestic abuse, often at the hands of their own family or in-laws. (

And in our sue happy counrty (sponsored and encouraged by the govt) you can have a lawsuit brought against you in a heart beat with NO merit at all. You can beat it but if they go to Dept of labor they incur no cost but he company racks up legal bills defending. You may win them but it still costs a bunch. I have dealt with 5 in the last 2 years

[Geno C]

things in this world are getting way to out of control. To see all these other religions get recognized and have more rights then we do is sickening... if you cant handle the position then go to your own country and be a cashier... simple as that! way to many politics going on now a days bending rules for others...

[Pat Rockets]

I welcome them all with open arms..even androids

[sg0331]

I would purposely go to their line with my ribs, bacon, and beer and give them a nice happy smile. We all have to deal with inconveniences everyday. Suck it up and drive on. This country has become too damn sensitive. If for some reason I chose a job that went against some belief of mine I would find another job or deal with it. It is not that difficult...
