EXCERPTS:

On Monday, Justice sued an Illinois school district for rejecting a Muslim teacher’s request to take a three-week leave of absence to travel to Mecca. The suit claims that the Berkeley School District discriminated against middle-school instructor Safoorah Khan, whose religion “required” her to perform the hajj, and is seeking damages for this so-called victim.

Attorney General Eric Holder is fulfilling a promise to pander to the special interests of Muslims. In June 2009, he pledged “a new beginning between the United States and the Muslim community” that includes “robust enforcement” of “religious freedoms.”

“We are committed to using criminal and civil rights laws to protect Muslim Americans” in the workplace, housing market and schools, he said, adding that he was making it “a top priority.”
