BURWELL v. HOBBY LOBBYIf an employee does not believe in Sharia Law and its beliefs or certain parts why couldnt that employee be fired or certain benefits not given to them?
It goes on.As this description of our reasoning shows, our holding is very specific. We do not hold, as the principal dissent alleges, that for-profit corporations and other commercial enterprises can “opt out of any law (saving only tax laws) they judge incompatible with their sincerely held religious beliefs.”....
BURWELL v. HOBBY LOBBY
PDF page 9:
It goes on.
To answer your question, if an employee does not believe in Sharia Law and its beliefs or certain parts, they are still protected by anti-discrimination law and cannot be fired for it. The ruling is very, very clear, that this ONLY applies to BC and ONLY when a cooperation can demonstrate a "closely held belief". The ruling is also VERY clear that for-profit corporations do not have standing to now impose religious beliefs onto employees.
When you read the ruling you will see that the Fed is setting up a program to get BC to employees who aren't covered for it. So, will you be covered? Yes, but not by the employer.So ohhhhhhhh what happens if i dont believe in Hobbys Lobbys Christian sect beliefs can i still be covered or not? Or does the the employee still dictat everything?
No they are not. This is a possible option.When you read the ruling you will see that the Fed is setting up a program to get BC to employees who aren't covered for it.
I don't think I'm aware of anyone who would go ape**** over that. In fact my current employer does restrict what I can and cannot get reimbursed for in my meals when I travel on business.
Sharia Law is a religious belief. Its a moral code.
Right, it's still in the works for for-profit corporations, and isn't the end of the world in any case given how stupidly cheap these 4 BCs are anyway.No they are not. This is a possible option.

You miss the point of the decision.The Supreme Court ruling protecting the religious rights of employers does not mean employers can impose Sharia law on its employees. Get over it.
Not to mention the dietary restrictions orthodox Jews may choose to impose on their employees.Go to Oklahoma.
And I bet your employer doesnt object to the content of your meals based on religious doctrine. Maybe devout Muslims may chafe at buying bacon for employees on the road.
Employers should be able to opt out of ACA anyway, as should the entire American population, so I don't see the problem.You miss the point of the decision.
This decision absolutely sets a precedence that if an employer's feels his beliefs are compromised when participating in an insurance program they can now say no.

Only if all its employees are adherents to Islam.If an employer believes in Sharia Law should they be allowed to impose Sharia law on its employees?
Do all Hobby Lobby employees believe that birth control is abortion? Are all Hobby Lobby employees evangelicals?Only if all its employees are adherents to Islam.
That is a true statement. The knowledge that Obama would pursue national healthcare was an oft cited reason to vote against him. Anything that hurts Obama's agenda is a good thing.All you can see is how much you hate "Obamacare", so in your eyes anything that hurts the ACA, even slightly, must be great.

You have also missed the thrust of the SCOTUS decision.

What did the USA's Supreme Court decide in its recent decision about employer's religious beliefs versus the rights of employees?
Any ideas?
I don't see any constitutional reason why Muslim employers would be treated differently than Christian employers.
Personally, I;m pretty cool with the HL decision. Its nice to see evangelicals in a minority position these days.
But I find it funny that the people who are screaming loudest about religious liberties would absolutely go ape**** if a case regarding a muslim owned company refusing to reimburse non-halal meats for traveling employees reached SCOTUS.

In what country? In the USA, people choose where they want to work, unless something changed. Don't want to work for Muslims? Don't take the job.
