After firing nearly two hundred Muslim workers who walked off the job last week due to a dispute over the company’s accommodations of their prayers rituals, a Cargill beef processing plant in Fort Morgan, CO is under fire for “discrimination”.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations or CAIR as they’re more commonly known has stepped in to paint these Somali Muslims as victims of some sort of hate crime, saying that he has testimonies from workers claiming that they were told to go home if they want to pray.
Cargill spokesman Mike Martin disputed these claims saying that none of the workers were ever told that, and the reason the plan can’t have a large prayer facility is because it would disrupt operations. Fair enough. Can you imagine the chaos that would ensue if workers decided to just walk away from their assembly lines to pray. There’s that and the fact that Cargill shouldn’t have to build a prayer room to accommodate these workers. They’re running a beef processing plant not a mosque.

the bibile says jesus said to pray in secret—– anyyways——
No company is against any religion. I am also a Muslim. It’s obligations on Muslims to offer five time salah at different times in 24 hrs. In a 8-12 hrs duty generally 1 or 2 salah times come in between, and it takes only 5-7 minutes to offer salah at that time. Muslim employees must make sure it would not disturb the productivity of the company. Like, I used to compensate those 5-7 minutes given by my company to offer salah by working 30-45 minute extra for my company at the end of the day. And I am favorite of my boss .
Another idea is that, if there is more Muslim employees, they can go in different small group, managing in such a way that it would never effect the company negatively…. Etc..
Aww…. Go ta hell… How come there were so many of you maggots there?
That’s a good start!!! Now we need to ship them somewhere.
You walk off the job you get fired
They quit by walking off so no unemployment benefits
christians don’t leave work to pray. muslims think they’re special, yeah…’special ed’
These people do not want to work fire them and let someone who wants to work have the job .
