As I recall, when Kim Davis refused to sign a marriage license, even though she asked for her name to be taken off and someone else to issue the license, she was placed in jail and made a fool of on national tv.
If my quick synopsis is correct....I have TWO QUESTIONS ON A STORY FROM TODAY.
Here is the story...
"The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission won $240,000 in damages for two Muslim truck drivers after it sued their former employer for religious discrimination for firing the drivers for refusing to make beer deliveries.
The EEOC said that Star Transport Inc., a trucking company based in Morton, Ill., violated their religious rights by refusing to accommodate their objections to delivering alcoholic beverages."
EEOC wins discrimination case for Muslims fired for not delivering beer | Washington Examiner (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/eeoc-wins-discrimination-case-for-muslims-fired-for-not-delivering-beer/article/2574720)
So question ONE is what is the difference ???
Question TWO is why this story on the Muslims is only reported on "right wing" sites, and not one mention on any main stream media site.
Oh, you dont like the Examiner.....this is from EEOC themselves..
"CHICAGO - A federal jury in Peoria, Ill., has awarded $240,000 to two Somalian-American Muslims who were fired from their jobs as truck drivers at Star Transport, an over-the-road trucking company, when they refused to transport alcohol because it violated their religious beliefs, according to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which brought the case. The trial started on Oct. 19, and the jury returned its verdict the next day after 45 minutes of deliberation."

The Kim Davis story was all over the cable networks. It was the lead everywhere. I cannot find this anywhere but right wing sites.
Can someone show me the error of my ways ?
