Yesterday, CAIR and Seddiq Law filed a reply in support our request for preliminary injunction in the case of Bridges v. Prince George's County, et al. Our client, as part of a job application process for chaplain at the local jail, was asked to sign a "Statement of Applicant's Christian Faith." Mr. Bridges, a Muslim, would have to abandon all of his sincerely held religious beliefs in order to sign such a document. He will not do so. This type of religious test is blatantly unconstitutional. For details on the lawsuit, see our previous post here.
Here are copies of the other pleadings in the case.
