>There is actionable job discrimination here. You mean a christian cannot get a job cutting animal necks at the slaughter house?
I dunno about that OR.
Let's keep our eyes on the ball: A practising Muslim or Jew cannot willfully eat haram or non-kosher meat. A Christian CAN eat haram or halal/ non-kosher or kosher because within the Christian faith, it usually does not matter (last I checked) how the animal was slaughtered. So if there's going to be a default butcher, it makes sense that the butcher slaughter the animals in such a way that EVERYONE in a multi-cultural/ multi-religious town can eat the meeat, right?
What follows is not the same, but might help illlustrate my point better: You're throwing a bash to which vegetarians and non-vegetarians will be coming. You can only serve one main dish. Seems likely that you'd serve a vegetarian dish, right?
I dunno the state of affairs in Kajiado. I do know that the writer of the letter favors a specific point of view, and his representation of the situation might not be completely accurate. Don't rush to the conclusion that a Christian cannot get a job in a Kajiado slaughterhouse.
