Re: Muslim woman teacher sues U.S. school after being denied three weeks unpaid leave

How many days of paid leave did you have after 9 months on the job?

9. I accrued 9 days per contact year. after the first 9 months I had 9 paid days, that is almost two weeks since they don't charge you for weekends. another year and I would've had 18 days, fully enough to take the 3 weeks off, if I had saved up my days.

Why was it so important to her to take it in 2008 instead of, like this poster is saying, actually earn the time?

she, like so many others, wanted it when she wanted it and everyone else be damned. that or she was looking to make a statement.
 
Re: Muslim woman teacher sues U.S. school after being denied three weeks unpaid leave

Ah lady, get over yourself.

I don't care about animals I plan to eat. Short of it not being poisoned or ill ofc so something doesn't happen to the meat but otherwise. :shrug:

Criminal mind eh? Kinda cool

You still haven't answered my question. Are you a vegan? Not a hypocrite are you?
Damn animal rights people are annoying. It is nice you hold up that tradition for your side :roll:

First, I'm not a lady. I'm a man. Second, yes I'm a vegan. Love Boca Burgers and Morningstar bacon, sausage patties and links (all veggie - soy protein). I guess I was having so much fun stomping on your message about killing animals, I forgot to mention it.

Though it might not fit into the "religion" of Islam (or imperialist ideology masquerading as a religion), life after death is something we all think about at times, and none of us really knows what's going to happen afterwards. Maybe those who say "I don't care about animals I plan to eat" and "Damn animal rights people are annoying", will find themselves cornered by a 1600 pound Alaskan Kodiak bear, who, looking you straight in the eye, in perfect English says "I don't care about animals I plan to eat...including humans".
 
Re: Muslim woman teacher sues U.S. school after being denied three weeks unpaid leave

The date for Christmas is aligned with other theologically important days and how do you know Easter doesn't line up with Christ's execution? BTW, Easter is roughly aligned with Passover; Easter being the Chrisitan equivalent of that holiday...

That's not quite right. The majority of Christian holidays occur on pagan holidays. That's why Christmas is where it's at, and Easter is where it's at (it's also the reason why there's an Easter Bunny, do you know why there is an Easter bunny?). The plain and short of it was that in order to encourage others to switch to Christianity, they kept the holidays and celebrations the same.

Haha, now how did I guess you were vegan.

I don't think I'd care very much about what a bear thinks if it corners me, why should I? I'd be too busy preparing myself for death :shrug:
It is a bears nature and diet to eat meat.

It's not like that's unique to Islam. Christianity usurped pagan days of celebration to encourage others to convert. It's pretty arbitrary in that it's not based on anything theological. Easter doesn't line up with Christ's execution, Christmas doesn't line up with Christ's birth, etc. And the bible itself is a collection of random and arbitrary books pieced together by the Church. I don't know why one can attack the arbitrary nature of one religion without recognizing the arbitrary nature of other established religions


if you are going to compare Islam to Christianity, I am sure that on the surface you can find many similarities in the religion itself. Problem is when you realize that Islam is stuck in the 7th century, while Christianity has progressed.

I don't think that Christianity tells its followers to kill those that don't believe in Christ do they?

I don't believe it.
 
Re: Muslim woman teacher sues U.S. school after being denied three weeks unpaid leave

I don't believe it.

I don't care what you believe.
I'm all well and good with you sacrificing no meat in your life and loving animals and all that jazz that comes with being Vegan but I'm most certainly not going to give it up nor would I condemn a bear for acting in its nature. :roll:

Nor do I care what you care, as long as you don't come around here trying to impose your very strange and very offensive Muslim beliefs on us here (I trust you won't). If the Brits want to cave in to all that Muslim Islamization, all I can say is "Not my problem". My animal friends here (ex. stray cats) will be safe, and heaven help anyone who tries to harm them. I still can't help thinking though, about that goat (or whatever it is) sticking his sharp bayonet-long horns in your butt. LOL. Hey, where are those smilies when I need them ?

Don't need to impose it on anyone, more people follow my beliefs than they will ever yours

Sheep mate, sheep.
I've killed goats before, not that difficult. You must just ensure you have a tight hold on its head before you drain the blood by slitting its throat :shrug:

IMO, if someone decides to be a self-righteous prick of a vegan, they should at least have the balls to do it without pining away for meat-like flavors. To me, eating morningstar **** and boca burgers just smacks of cowardice.

Remind me not to make you mad




just kidding of course


The killing of an animal in this way is in no way more horrible an act then what cows go through to get to a slaugher house. Certainly no more horrible then the many hunters in north america killing dear, elk or moose
 
Re: Muslim woman teacher sues U.S. school after being denied three weeks unpaid leave

Any one heard the joke about the masochist who married the sadist because it seemed like a perfect match? The wedding night the masochist says "punish me punish me punish me". The sadist said "no".

I'm always gentle ;)

Indeed. I do not understand the squeamishness from some of my friends who admittedly have not been around animals as much as I.
I have no problem with killing and butchering a animal to eat its meat. I happen to think I have more ground to be a meat eater than those who only get their meat from the store and have never had any contact with what they eat :shrug:

But otherwise I'd love to go hunting one day and I shall in Kenya when I return home :mrgreen:

One thing I've never understood about butchering animals (admittedly I've not done much of it) is why the use of a slit at the throat? A sharp blow to the neck from an axe would serve the same purpose. Granted the neck is a difficult target on a kicking animal, but with help it could be done.
 
Re: Muslim woman teacher sues U.S. school after being denied three weeks unpaid leave

Yeah....do that on hogs and come back. My grandma had hogs on the farm she raised for food. First off, when they're young you have to catrate them; and they don't take too kindly. When they're older, you have to kill one and clean and butchar it. Pigs are onry creatures, let me tell you. But man is bacon worth it!

You couldn't qualify to ever be my mate. You are a murderer. But then that's what Islam teaches doesn't it ?

"Slay the idolators wherever you find them." (the Koran 9:5).

"I will inspire terror in the hearts of Unbelievers: you smite them above their necks and smite all their fingertips off them" (the Koran 8:2).

Strange how in 1400 years this filthy, barbaric book hasn't been cleaned up and reformed (as Christians did in the 16th century with their religion). I guess that's because it isn't really a book of God, and never was. It has been a means of controlling people, while practicing all the terrible things that those people would never accept (genocide, conquest, misogyny, animal killing, pedophilia, slavery, "honor" killings, etc.).

That is going WAY too far protectionist.

Laila is not a murderer, and neither are a majority of other Muslims.

I wouldn't want to be your friend believe me. Who wants to be near a arrogant, self righteous, "I'm on a crusade to protect all animals" vegan?

I love it when the mask slips and the true hatred of Muslims is revealed

$20 says your taking that scripture entirely out of context. Also I love how hardcore Christians ignore their own horrid atrocities and point the finger at Muslims (btw I am not saying you are a Christian)

Come on the Christians reformed in the 16th century didn't you know? The extermination of African and South American ethnic groups well into the 20th century by Christian missionaries do not count. ;)

Slitting the throat is the way the uncivilized, barbaric savages who call themselves Muslims, go about slaughtering animals to be used for food. It's called "halal" meat. In Arabic, "halal" means that which is lawful or permissable. So in Islam, meats should be halal, however there is a lot of criticism of the Muslim practice (what else is new ?), because of the excessive pain and suffering it inflicts on the animals.

In 2003, the Farm Animal Welfare Council (FAWC), an independent advisory group, concluded that the way halal and kosher meat is produced, causes severe suffering to animals, and should be banned immediately. FAWC argued that cattle required up to two minutes to bleed to death when such means are employed. The Chairperson of FAWC at the time, Judy MacArthur Clark, added, "this is a major incision into the animal and to say that it doesn't suffer is quite ridiculous."

McDonald's is one of the restaurants offering halal food. They received numerous complaints about it. They're response was - go somewhere where halal food is not offered. My response to McDonald's is > Yes, we will do exactly that.

Much easier to control the body to then kill it when you have it around the neck by yourself. You would need more than one person otherwise, I can't really explain what position I'd be in when I am slitting the throat but I won't get kicked by it and it drains the blood quite quickly. :shrug:
Farm animals are not that big a deal, non farm animals are harder to kill (for obvious reasons)

Anyone who actually considers killing animals to be murder is too ****ing stupid to give a legitimate appraisal of a religion, Tofu Crusader.
