(22,165 posts)... but I do not see any reason to "tolerate" folk infringing on the rights of others ... whether they do it under the guise of religion or not.
In all honesty, I think at least 50% of the Muslims I know drink or smoke pot. I know some Muslims that are idiots and A-hoes (true of every group), but like everyone, most are hard working decent folk.
My ex-husband (a Muslim) is reportedly thinking about getting a dog (I got our kids a dog about a year ago). He is my ex-husband so I don't always have the warmest thoughts about him, but with that said, I would NEVER believe that he tried to impose his beliefs on anyone (except our kids)
Admittedly almost all of the Muslims I know are well educated (Physicians, Engineers, Lawyers, Dentists ....) and were educated in the US or in Western Europe and made a very conscious choice to come to the US or they are US citizens .... perhaps, that is our difference in experience.
Adding this on edit (noting that it has been a long time since I have hired people) : is it permissible to ask in the interview if there is anything that would stop them from carrying out their duties (including drunks and dogs) and respecting all the laws of the country (including the ADA).
