I think if we start treating fundamentalists as "minorities", they might start to get the message. If they say that they won't hire based on religious practices, lifestyle, whatever, I think that they should be given an equal dose of the punishment. I can't think of any "minority" (read:group that is singled out for some reason) that I wouldn't hire for any job, save something like hiring someone confined to a wheelchair to do roofing or something like that. I seriously think things might change if this sort of thing happened. I don7t think I'd do it myself right now, btu I think that having these bigots (fundamentalists) discriminated against might make the point of other people a little more clear: that you have no reason not to hire someoen simply because you don't like his practices or cultural feelings.
