Islam is a way of life
Assalamu alaykum and I will explain WHY this is funny, give me a minute.
Let's go back to 2007, a Muslim teacher named Safoorah Khan began teaching near Chicago, Illinois. In 2008, she asked for 3 weeks off for Hajj.
The school board denied it, she resigned.
Now, in 2010, she has taken this so far that now the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is on her side and suing that school district. Because when it comes down to it, they made her choose between her job or her religious duties. I found this funny, lol. Since the school district is public and therefore paid by the government.
Anyway, Masha Allah that she had the courage to go as far as to resign from her position for the Hajj, because we never know when it will be too late to make it.
I'm very happy for her and insha'Allah she will get compensation and be reinstated as a teacher.
