US College Bans Face-Covering Veils: Predictable Litigation Jihad Ensues
BOSTON – A Muslim rights group is asking the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to investigate a Massachusetts college that is banning students from wearing head coverings that obscure the face.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations says even though the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences policy is aimed at students, it would have ”a disproportionate impact on the religious rights of Muslim employees.”
The policy bans students from wearing clothing such as burqas and face veils, as well as ski masks and scarves.
The CAIR letter, dated Wednesday, says the school must allow a religious exemption to the policy because the school is allowing a medical exemption.
The college declined immediate comment. It says the policy is about safety.
For those in Britain unfamiliar with the creeping Islamisation of the United States (yes, it’s happening there too) – the starting point in any study must surely be CAIR – the Council On American Islamic Relations. This group, which acts as a self-appointed interest group for Muslims in the US, has connections to the Muslim Brotherhood and is currently an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror-funding case.
Despite its concillatory-sounding name, CAIR’s reaction to any perceived slight against Islam, however, is rarely reconciliation and discussion. Its reflex is to head to the courts, with cries of ‘Islamophobia’ and ‘Intolerance’. Much like Islamists everywhere, it uses the justice system when it suits its cause and cries ‘Sharia’ when it doesn’t.
Its main line of defence is litigation to protect its mission – the Islamisation of the US. It’s well-funded too – with generous donations coming from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait and wealthy Muslims in the US. Fortunately for us, the British equivalents MPACUK and the Muslim Council of Britain are not yet quite so litigious – or as flush with cash to pay for legal Jihad – but they’re learning fast from CAIR.
