Of course they were sued, how dare anyone deny Muslims their right to do whatever they want.
Especially in the home state of the Obama.

The federal government sued a suburban Chicago school district Monday for denying a Muslim middle school teacher unpaid leave to make a pilgrimage to Mecca that is a central part of her religion.
In a civil rights case, the department said the school district in Berkeley, Ill., denied the request of Safoorah Khan on grounds that her requested leave was unrelated to her professional duties and was not set forth in the contract between the school district and the teachers union. In doing so the school district violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by failing to reasonably accommodate her religious practices, the government said.
Khan wanted to perform the Hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia which every adult Muslim is supposed to make at least once in a lifetime if they are physically and financially able to. Millions go each year.

Teacher Mauled to Death by Wolves in Alaska
Further reason why Wolves need to be kept in Check through Hunting .

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A teacher jogging along a rural Alaskan road was killed in an animal attack and authorities say wolves are the chief suspects.
The body of Candice Berner, 32, was found Monday off the road a mile outside the village of Chignik Bay on the Alaska Peninsula, which is about 474 miles southwest of Anchorage.
Authorities said the body had been dragged off the road to the village's lagoon and was surrounded by wolf tracks.
In an autopsy report Thursday, the Alaska State Medical Examiner listed "multiple injuries due to animal mauling" as the cause of death for Berner, a special education teacher originally from Slippery Rock, Pa., who began working in Alaska in August.
The autopsy could not say which animals, said Col. Audie Holloway, head of the Alaska State Troopers, but wolves are the chief suspect.
"There's no other carnivores in that area that are out and active," he said.
Wolves, bears, foxes and other wildlife have disturbed bodies in the Alaska wilderness, but Holloway said the autopsy ruled out other causes that may have killed Berner. Additional tests could tie the death to wolves, Holloway said.

One in five Austrian muslim teachers 'fanatical'
What exactly are these fanatical teachers teaching in the classroom? Has anyone bothered asking? Wiener ZeitungVienna. Muslim teachers in Austria have largely anti- democratic beliefs and one in five are "fanatical”. These are the findings of a new study by Professor Mouhanad Khorchide from the Islamic Religion and Pedagogical Institute at Vienna University.
Khorchide, himself a Muslim, said yesterday that 22.6 per cent of the 210 Muslim teachers he had surveyed had "fanatical att- itudes” whilst 8.5 per cent said it was "understandable for violence to be used to spread Islam”. In addition, 29 per cent said it was impossible for Muslims to integrate in Austria without losing their Muslim ident- ity, and 55 per cent said they thought Austrians were xenophobic.
