Somebody Gets It!
This is indeed a slippery slope! If we let a NY prison guard wear a Muslim hat while at work, it's only a matter of time before the liberal-packed Supreme Court issues a fatwa requiring all our soldiers to wear turbans and baggy Aladin pants with those silly curved slippers!
Next they'll outlaw the cross and the ten commandments, and after that we'll all have to worship Allah under threat of execution! This is a culture war people, and the courts are on the other side! Onward Christian soldiers! A Muslim is trying to wear a hat at work!
Of more immediate concern, if we were to permit this Muslim to wear his special hat, that would totally interfere with his work. For example, it could get in the way of him sticking his head between bars to see what's going on inside cells. Or it could cause jealously among the other guards.
Worse though, is that it will lead to all the other guards wanting to wear all sorts of crazy symbols of "religious expression" like crosses, yamulkes, and temple garment underwear, which totally undermine the entire purpose of a uniform. The prison system would be in total chaos!
The government should never have to make reasonable accomodation for religious expression in the workplace - only ACLU fags are for that. Instead, we should purge the government of those who attempt to express their religion, especially if it's one we don't like.
