Another American company is being attacked this week over policies the liberal media and the Council on American Islamic Relations are calling insensitive and prejudice. The incident happened at a meat packing and distribution plant in Colorado, when nearly two hundred workers, most of them Muslim immigrants from Somalia, were fired for walking off the job to protest a workplace prayer dispute. The dispute was allegedly over changes made in the times they were allowed to take breaks in order to pray.
According to reports by the Denver Post, some workers later returned and were allowed to keep their jobs, but a majority stayed to protest in hopes of swaying management to reinstate a prayer schedule. A representative from the Council on American Islamic Relations or CAIR has taken the job of negotiating on behalf of the fired workers, claiming that they feel missing their prayer is “worse than losing their job”. It sounds like the problem just solved itself.

I don’t go to work to pray or force my religion on others
As a Christian, I don’t get a free pass to go to morning prayer, revivals, Bible studies. Yet, my faith, compels me, through love, to actively participate.
So, why should they, compelled to pray publicly give times a day, through fear, be more sacrosanct?
If they cannot pray during their legitimate break times, then they can’t. Unless an employer can accommodate me, as a Christian, why should they be “required” to accommodate a muslim, a budist, a hindi. The answer is: they should NOT.
another good question is why the hell did you hire 200 muslims ?
Cut their heads off if they don’t change their actions and beliefs.
Would anyone be treated differently?no
Well let’s see here…… Christians has to learn to cope with working on Sunday or find another job so why shouldn’t these filthy sand potatoes be expected to do the same?
Do you understand muslims at all? Clearly you covert or your head gets lopped off
They should be treated like every other worker and should have to sign an agreement to that when hired.
I hope the company doesn’t back down
Load up and send them back where they came from,
