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.

Welcome too America and equality. They were treated like ANYONE ELSE would have been treated. Let freedom and equality reign.
Yes! It’s called EQUALITY. Welcome to America.
Let them walk back to Iran, and never return. i hope they take their leader with them, Obama.
They walked off….that is job abandonment pure and simple.
Well put…
Pity the nation that wears a cloth it does not weave and eats a bread it does not harvest. Pity the nation that acclaims the bully as hero, and that deems the glittering conqueror bountiful. Pity a nation that despises a passion in its dream, yet submits in its awakening. Pity the nation that raises not its voice save when it walks in a funeral, boasts not except among its ruins, and will rebel not save when its neck is laid between the sword and the block. Pity the nation whose statesman is a fox, whose philosopher is a juggler, and whose art is the art of patching and mimicking Pity the nation that welcomes its new ruler with trumpets, and farewells him with hooting, only to welcome another with trumpeting again. Pity the nation whose sages are dumb with years and whose strongmen are yet in the cradle. Pity the nation divided into fragments, each fragment deeming itself a nation.”
Give the jobs to our people
I am a Christian I worked for 37 years, I didn’t have to stop to pray, I prayed in my mind. If I would of stopped to pray I would have been fired to. Like Obama said, “There was no place in the work place for religion.” Same goes for the muslims,
Let’s get the facts straight…………they walked out and didn’t return, and were let go after 3 days of not showing up for work.
Should of never been hired
