Fired Muslim awarded $3.2 million in discrimination suit against Loma Linda University Medical Center

55

Another Muslim workplace lawsuit in order to impose Islam on the workplace. This is what they do. Hospital spokeswoman Kelsey Tyree Culler said: “LLU Medical Center did not discharge the employee because of his religious beliefs, but because of his reported threatening conduct. LLU Medical Center complies with and honors federal and state law regarding discrimination and harassment and does not tolerate it in the workplace.”

Lizarraga was fired because “he was viewed as a troublemaker.” Now he has successfully demonized and penalized LLU Medical Center for firing him. Islamic supremacists chip, chip, chip away at the establishment clause, and in doing so, impose Islam on the secular marketplace. Muslim lawsuits against Hertz, Wal-Mart, Target, Disney and a host of other American businesses for special rights and special accommodation have been largely successful creating a special rights for a special class of people — which is an accordance with Islam (in which Muslims are superior to the kuffar). But it goes against every American tenet of individual rights and separation of mosque and state.

Read the chapter, “Mosqueing the Workplace”  in my book, Stop the Islamization of America, to better understand this de facto imposition of sharia in America.

“Fired Muslim awarded $3.2 million in discrimination suit against Loma Linda University Medical Center,” by Scott Schwebke, Orange County Register, November 7, 2018 (thanks to Lookmann):

A jury has awarded $3.2 million in damages to a Muslim who claims he was harassed for years by his supervisors at Loma Linda University Medical Center and ultimately fired because of his Islamic beliefs, his lawyer said Wednesday.

The award to Hugo Lizzaraga, 44, who worked 20 years as a warehouse employee at the hospital, capped a six-week-long trial in San Bernardino Superior Court and five days of deliberation. The verdict was announced Monday.

“We are happy this hard-working jury resolved this injustice in his favor,” said Lizarraga’s attorney, Todd Harrison “He was courageous for many years and stood up to Loma Linda, which is the largest employer in San Bernardino County. This is truly a David-versus-Goliath story.”

Loma Linda disagrees with the jury’s verdict, said hospital spokeswoman Kelsey Tyree Culler.

“LLU Medical Center did not discharge the employee because of his religious beliefs, but because of his reported threatening conduct,” she said. “LLU Medical Center complies with and honors federal and state law regarding discrimination and harassment and does not tolerate it in the workplace.”

It was unclear whether the hospital plans to appeal the jury verdict.

For more than six years, Lizarraga, who lives in San Bernardino County, was subjected to religious and disability discrimination by his supervisors, Jerry Strode and Jose Gonzalez, as well as employees in the medical center’s Human Resources Department, according to the lawsuit filed in September 2016.

Lizarraga worked at the hospital for more than a decade without experiencing harassment, the suit says.

However, in 2012 Lizarraga began to encounter hostility from Strode and Gonzalez after he converted to Islam, broke his thumb at work and was placed on modified duty by his physician, according to the suit.

The complaint contends Strode and Gonzalez harassed Lizarraga through 2015 because of his Islamic beliefs, at times referring to him as a terrorist and calling him other derogatory names, and complained he was “too slow” due to his medical condition….

Lizarraga complained to LLU Medical Center’s Human Resources Department about Strode and Gonzalez’s behavior.

“In response, Human Resources ignored plaintiff’s complaints,” says the suit. “Ultimately, Human Resources told plaintiff that they had spoken with Mr. Strode, that nothing would be done and that plaintiff should just go back to work.”

Several employees confirmed the behavior of Strode, who was fired from the hospital in March 2015, two months before he was scheduled to retire, Harrison said. Gonzalez continues to work at the hospital, he added.

Neither man could be reached for comment.

In February 2016, Lizarraga was summoned to the LLU Medical Center’s security office and told he was being placed on suspension, but was not given a reason. A San Bernadino [sic] County sheriff’s deputy arrived at the office and asked if Lizarraga had made terrorist threats against the hospital.

“Plaintiff unequivocally denied doing so,” says the lawsuit.

The deputy ran Lizarraga’s driver’s license through a database and determined he didn’t pose a threat or have a criminal record.

Still, the hospital kept Lizarraga on administrative leave, eventually notifying him he had been accused of telling a co-worker what he would have done differently in the Dec. 2, 2015, terrorist shooting at San Bernardino’s Inland Regional Center that killed 14 people and wounded 21 others.

Finally, Lizarraga was fired from his job in March 2016.

Hospital officials used the terrorist shooting as an excuse to terminate Lizarraga because he was viewed as a troublemaker, Harrison said.

“The hospital preyed on the fears about Muslims in the shooting which occurred only a block from the warehouse where Lizzagra worked, he said. “An official testified at trial that Lizzagra’s religion was considered in deciding whether he should be fired. And that sealed the deal with the jury.”

Appeal the verdict and make him spend more money. If he wins on appeal that just means his lawyer takes more of the judgement if he is working on a contingency and, if not on a contingency – I highly doubt this is the case – it will hit him in the pocketbook even more if he loses the appeal.

Not exactly. In most civil rights cases, defendants pay their own legal fees win or lose. And, if they lose, they also pay the plaintiff’s legal fees IN ADDITION to actual and punitive damages.

Don’t need to go that far. The most recent lawsuit against Walmart, the moslem was suing due to them not allowing it to take the moslem month of roomading off. If every Christian demanded time off for Advent and Lent …. same standard … Wouldn’t that be fair? Walk away with a nice little 3 million to 5 million dollar settlement. Precedent has been set …. Let it roll.

$3.2 million that will be donated to the loco Mosque or weapons and military base of the Moslem. When the SHTF your surrounding area will become a caliphate.

The same thing will happen like what happened in the Algiers War.

You should NEVER hire a Moslem in the first place. Their culture is NOT compatible with yours. Whether Christian, Buddha, Hindu, or even if you are an atheist or practice lieberalism.

The word of Yahuah STANDS. He will NEVER get along with any man. No matter what color or creed.

What is MoHamud Lizarrad’s complaint?

His co workers only called him a terrorist because he bragged what he could do better at killing people, it has been proven time after time that when someone can say with a straight face “I Yam a Mooslimer cultist” is the same thing as saying “I Yam a terrorist or a pedophile baby raper”
It’s a prominent and repeated squiggle some where in the Qumran .

The Company, rightly called him too stupid to work only when he most likely hurt his thumb sucking on it while pouting .
The company went out of it’s way to help him be a good cult member by helping him not work and he sues???
No Justice..

In essence liberals historically come up with good, well-meant ideas – which when turned into legislation are eventually warped, bent, stretched and distorted beyond recognition – causing far more harm than good.

When are we going to get rid of the liberal judges who have wrecked the constitution, with their left leaning ideals. America wake up , these damn liberals need to be put away for their lieing, deceitful actions,that they take against the laws of our country. They have misrepresented the ideals of our constitution, making the rights of a few, to override the rights of the majority. This wasn’t what our founders wanted to happen, I blame it on the liberal jackasses who gave the blacks, more rights than the majority. I have had a problem with this decision, when it happened and still do. We have had many races come to this country and they all fit in, finding their places in society. look at what took place the lazy black people just went on welfare, rather than working for a living. They had children out of wedlock and just exasperated, the problem passing it down from generation to generation. It became a disgusting loop of welfare. They were drug using uneducated thugs, making their neighborhoods a living hell, for anyone living there. Do you really think the constitution wanted this to happen? I think they deserve the same rights as everyone else no more no less. Until we get to that mark, our country is going to always have problems. This is not being racist, this is just saying everyone has the same rights Black, white, yellow or orange it doesn’t matter. I think that there are smart and dumb people in all races, not everyone has the same intelligence levels. When you allow one race to have different qualifications when entering schools it’s a disservice to the person and the school. This is whats taking place because our politicians, want to give one race more rights, than another race.

This is the USA. If one is that religious that he demand an employer to bow to religious demands then that employer has a right to NOT employ that person. Only recently do USA businesses bow down to others’ religious beliefs and practices. Get a job that honors ones religious practice rather than have an employer meet ones’ demands for one employee. That person can take a personal day off to meet religious needs. Or work a job with hours around ones’ religious demands and practices. Everything is way out of hand due to o-shit-head and his cronies including all demoncrats and G. Soros all for the votes. They don’t really care about your needs. This tampering within our government has got to stop~!!! We are a Christian country. Don’t like it, adapt, or leave. You have your freedom of those choices. Even now many schools are closed for Muslim holidays. It used to be that schools were closed for Christmas because there were not enough students in the school to hold classes, therefore, school was closed. Now, even if there are a few practicing religion districts bow down to those demands at the expense of a day off from school. What is taking over our Country~???
