Muslim trucker sues over alcohol load

From CNN

CHICAGO, Illiniois (Reuters) -- A Muslim truck driver has filed a federal court suit in Tennessee against his employer, saying he was fired for refusing an assignment to transport beer, a Muslim advocacy group said Wednesday.

I bet you can guess who the Muslim advocacy group is. Yep, Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). I cannot understand how, after all the exposing of this groups links to terrorism, mainstream media can still call them "Washington-based advocacy group".

So, what happens next? Can a Catholic refuse to transport condoms? Can a Jewish person refuse to transport pork? Can a Southern Baptist refuse to transport chocolate? Can someone from Greenpeace refuse to transport, well anything?

When does this nonsense end? This guy is a trucker and truckers truck things. He can practice his religion on his own time.

Sorry, Athena. When I was growing up in the south in the 1950's there was a group of Southern Babtists that did not allow chocolate or dancing. Sounds almost like the Taleban, eh?
