Sadly, Sikhs, who should know better, are joining the perpetually outraged Muslims of CAIR in crying “Islamophobia,” in this frivolous lawsuit against an amusement park that rightly forbids any kind of headgear that can get caught in the moving parts of the rides, causing injury and/or death.
“Calif. Muslim, Sikh Groups to File Complaint Against Amusement Park,” a CAIR press release, April 28, 2014:
SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 28, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — On Tuesday, April 29, the California chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-CA) and UNITED SIKHS will hold simultaneous news conferences in Anaheim and Santa Clara to announce the filing of multiple public accommodation complaints with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) against Boomers! amusement parks, a subsidiary of Palace Entertainment Holdings.
The complaints allege violations of California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act based on Boomers! unwillingness to permit park attendees wearing religious head coverings from riding Go-Karts. Both Muslim and Sikh park attendees have repeatedly been denied access to the rides. The company, citing unfounded safety concerns, has been unwilling to provide any accommodation, thereby effectively banning thousands of local residents from riding the Go-Karts solely based on their faith.
WHAT: CAIR-CA and UNITED SIKHS to Announce Filing of DFEH Complaints against Boomers! Parks
WHO: CAIR-CA, UNITED SIKHS, and individual clients denied access to the rides
WHEN: Tuesday, April 29th at 10 a.m. (Pacific)
WHERE: CAIR-LA, 2180 W. Crescent Ave., Ste. F, Anaheim, CA; CAIR-SFBA, 3000 Scott Blvd., Ste. 101, Santa Clara, CA
CONTACT: CAIR-SFBA Executive Director Zahra Billoo, 626.252.0885, [email protected]
“Companies cannot utilize unfounded safety concerns to discriminate against thousands of people,” said CAIR-Northern California Civil Rights Coordinator Brice Hamack. “It troubles us that every other amusement park is able to make sufficient accommodations to permit women wearing hijabs to ride some of the fastest roller coasters in the world, but that Boomers! has unequivocally denied them access to the Go-Kart rides.”
“Boomers! has failed to provide any clear or sensible reasoning for denying individuals with religious headwear requirements access to go-karts,” said UNITED SIKHS Staff Attorney Manmeet Singh. “To deny people their religious liberties on unfounded fears is something that cannot and should not be tolerated in today’s day and age.”…

Those sorry no good Moslems need to get the Fuck out of America, those sorry Moslems are killing Christian people left an rite in every Moslem Country what a bunch of hypocrites, the only time a Moslem is not lieing is when there not talking, Islam can go to Hell.
Manpreet says
Most liberals are misleading the Sikh community when it comes to islam. And wearing the headbags opens the muzzie’s coffin. I don’t understand why some Sikhs support this, when I go on rides, I usually tie the turban around my waist, under my shirt, therefore, it still remains on my body, and I tie my hair back, what’s the big deal?

“…thereby effectively banning thousands of local residents from riding the Go-Karts SOLELY based on their faith.”
TAQIYYA, TAQIYYA, TAQIYYA! LIE, LIE, LIE!
Why would an enterprise want to deny itself tens of thousands of dollars, of high profit incremental trade? Can cair show that Boomers! or the Go-Kart operators are anti-moslem, anti-Sikh? Any mo, male or female, but bagless may ride; no one is asked about their religion before they ride. Not ALL Sikhs wear religious headgear, even if a majority do. Those who have regular length hair, and no long loose headgear mo or Sikh, have never been denied access.
What Boomers! lawyers need to do, is get affidavits from unbagged mos and ‘secular’ Sikhs that they rode without ANY interference or special attention. Maybe offer free rides one day for identifiable ‘secular’ types of those religions, to prove the point. Similarly, they need affidavits from persons of other religions, ‘atheists’ or other totally secular types who WERE prevented from riding, with say an extra-long scarf or a wedding dress with a train, or something else dangerous.
“Companies cannot utilize UNFOUNDED safety concerns to discriminate against thousands of people,” said CAIR-Northern California Civil Rights Coordinator Brice Hamack. “It troubles us [not really – it’s a good EXCUSE to practice LAWFARE!] that EVERY other amusement park is able to make sufficient accommodations [What does THAT mean? And has cair personally inspected EVERY one?] to permit women wearing hijabs to ride SOME of the fastest roller coasters in the world, but that Boomers! has unequivocally denied them access to the Go-Kart rides.”
Here is a precedent from April 8, 2010, where the operator tried to deny access:

And there needs to be an end to Lawfare. Boomers should be able to counter sue for defamation and denigration, and recover costs and punitive damages.
A message to ‘secular’ or ‘moderate’ moslems reading this:
Does cair represent YOU? Do you wear a hijab, or want your wife to? Do you want them muddying the pool three times a week, making moslems look like perennial whiners and losers? Do you want cair to perpetually remind people of 9/11, Beslan, Bali, Bamiyan, Madrid, London, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan…
Not only is cair not the solution, they ARE the problem!
vostok says
No dammit!! You should encourage them to wear their headbags. You know. natural selection and whatnot
Shameless Sharia says
There’s got to be some legal way to settle for the good of the park. Please tell me there is.
Lenin-McCarthy says
Remember that muslim woman who was strangled to death by her headbag caught on an escalator?
perceptor1 says
Liability speaks louder than political correctness.
LORD KABIGON says
Perhaps a waiver, holding Boomers harmless for any injury or death. Seeing one of these idiots earning a Darwin Award could be entertaining for normal humans.
BareNakedIslam says
That won’t protect them. You should know that.
dragonfFIRE01 says
it’s an amusement park i thought that kind of thing is haram.
hope someone gets video of a mslim getting strangled in the machinery. better to see that than the endless decapitations
cat says
You can not defend against stupidity. Recently a muslum was strangled by her head bag in an escalator. Have them sign a form will not stop the law suits. This is total nonsense and stupidity on the part of the inbred muslums and we all know that you can not fix stupid.

Let them go back where they came from. Donkeys don’t have parts that you can get entangled with. Neither do goats, tents, sand,….sooo much safer !
sweetolbob says
I think the hold harmless form is a good idea. Of course, they shoud sign it as they come in. But even this will inconvenience your other customers. ……….. Which is what the muslims want. Another opportunity to demonstrate, cost the business money, and appear to be the injured party. Or, I guess you could say they are just looking for another chance to be a pain in the ass, the way they always do.
You are in America, muslims ! We do not have to change our civilization to agree with your whinings and demands. If you don’t like it, GO AWAY !
BareNakedIslam says
Bob, signing such a form does not release the park from responsibility if the muzzers get hurt.
dragonfFIRE01 says
rats
Chubee_ex_Muzz says
Make them sign a “hold harmless” waiver before letting them ride anything if they whine about “discrimination”. Rules like this are for safety but telling Muslims this is like telling a kid why he can’t go on a ride before he reaches the “tall enough” line, you have no idea how much of what you said is actually getting through.

Hello there…..its me again…..Don Laird……
Its a WIN-Win for the Muslim and its Islam.
It gets on an amusement ride or is in close proximity to dangerous moving machinery and gets its head ripped off or is strangled to death it becomes a win with a lawsuit because we should have kept the Muslim safe from itself: LAWSUIT!!!! LAWSUIT!!!
We insist the Muslim remove its head-bag it wins as it alleges racist “islamophobia” and a dozen other buzz words that foreshadow a big Muslim payday and the its; LAWSUIT!!!!…LAWSUIT!!!
Personally, if we are going to get dragged into court by reptilian lawyers seeking a big payout to their client we should at least have the benefit of having a dead Muslim as the plaintiff……..adding insult to injury to have to pay money and have it live, and buy more head-bags…….a slap in the face.
So I say, let them stand and get their empty heads torn off.

sounds like a good idea
Lenin-McCarthy says
Better yet, make all muslim women wearing headbags sign a waiver of responsibility in-case they get accidental strangulation or decapitation. If they don’t, don’t let them in.
Pavelina says
Not just the headbags! Their flowing nightshirts, floppy pants and tents can get caught in the machinery too.
It will really be all their fault if they get hurt, but that doesn’t stop them from suing.
