Sharia law in employment with Muslim Firms?

A Muslim corporation has fired a woman for eating 'unclean' meat.

Yup, this happened in Florida - and the woman, a Roman Catholic, was fired by her Muslim bosses because she had a pizza on one occasion and a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich on another occassion.

The company, Rising Star, is a telecommunications company, which means it is highly regulated by the federal and state government.

They did not make the woman sign anything saying she agreed not to eat pork, but even if they had, I believe it would be going way too far.

Muslims cannot demand that Christians follow the same religious dietary laws that they follow.

Can you imagine if a Catholic-owned business fired people during Lent for eating meat other than fish on Friday?

Same thing. Hope the woman wins her lawsuit and wins it quickly.
