If an employer believes in Sharia Law should they be allowed to impose Sharia law on its employees?
they are some things that are allowable, though

Like what?
Thinking of the rabid Conservatives celebrating the Hobby Lobby 'victory'....
Like what?
The Supreme Court ruling protecting the religious rights of employers does not mean employers can impose Sharia law on its employees. Get over it.If an employer believes in Sharia Law should they be allowed to impose Sharia law on its employees?
Hmm. How about only allowing employees to expense Halal meats when traveling - because the owners do not want to promote non-halal foods.
How about requiring five prayer breaks per day - no working allowed, you dont have to participate, but you have to hang up the phone and stop serving customers when the call to prayer sounds - irregardless of you closing a deal to get commission or bonus.
What about refusing to pay for health care unless you get it at a sex-segregated clinic? Or have the care performed by a physician of the same sex?
I can think of tons of examples.

The hysteria continues! I didn't know employers were allowed to make laws in the first place, let alone sharia law.
And someone who objects to all of that would be forced to work there? Not in this country. It's not different than if your employer says you are not allowed to have facial hair. If you want a beard, you don't work there.
Do people think that all of a sudden every workplace in this country is going to turn into a radical religious free for all?
I've never seen so much paranoia and hysteria on any non-consequential matter for almost all of us in years.

Personally, I;m pretty cool with the HL decision. Its nice to see evangelicals in a minority position these days.
But I find it funny that the people who are screaming loudest about religious liberties would absolutely go ape**** if a case regarding a muslim owned company refusing to reimburse non-halal meats for traveling employees reached SCOTUS.
They cannot be forced to violate Sharia law unless the state can show a clear and compelling need that cannot be met with less invasive means.
Well, gosh... forcing people to go to non sex segregated clinics (which dont exist in the US) would be forcing them to voilate religious beliefs.
Forcing Jehovahs witnesses to pay for blood transfusions comes to mind. Forcing Christian Scientists to get ANY health insurance is an issue too, no?
