Muslims can't wear pants UPDATED

Ah, even more serious stuff. There is a large Somali Muslim immigrant community in Minneapolis that has been causing lots of trouble. Apparently they are trying to force our country to conform to them, rather than them assimilating to us. As if they should have to, coming to our country and all. They use lawsuits and hysterical cries of racism to try to get their way. Don't believe it? Check out Europe, which has had rampant Muslim immigration for years. In 50 years or so they will likely have a cultural war between Muslims and everyone else (I mean actual war within Europe, not a culture war like here between Hollywood and everyone else).

Anyway, in the US we have a much smaller proportion of Muslims, but they have learned how to subvert Western democracies through the courts and through left-wing laws. Here is the newest example, of course from Minneapolis:

Yet this soft-spoken 22-year-old became an unlikely hero within the Somali community when she and five of her Muslim co-workers were dismissed last month from the Mission Foods tortilla factory in New Brighton, Minn., for refusing to wear a new company uniform — a shirt and pants — they consider a violation of their Islamic beliefs.

Of course, the great civil rights organization (not really; more like terrorist-sympathizer) CAIR is coming to the rescue to sue on their behalf. As see-dubya writes:

So Mission can either continue to ban unsafe, loose-fitting, but culturally sensitive clothing and be sued and slandered by CAIR, or they can give in and take a hit from a personal-injury lawyer when a burqa-clad employee gets tangled up in an industrial tortilla press. Tough decision.

What's the solution to the encroaching madness? Why not stop Muslim immigration and deport those that are here now? We need only to look to Europe to see our future if we don't.

UPDATED: To answer a couple of good points by a commenter, first, the Bill of Rights isn't a suicide pact, but religious freedom has nothing to do with it anyway. We as a country can decide who we let immigrate and who we don't. If we don't want Muslims, so be it. I'd at least like to see that debate occur.

Second, your Muslim friends are most likely American citizens. They cannot (obviously) and should not be deported, and they can worship as they please even if they are not citizens. Note that the ones I have problems with are recent immigrants with hard-core beliefs in sharia law. More is here on that topic.

I would be sad to see some of my Muslim friends go. Plus, wouldn't that be ironic for a country founded on religious freedom?
