Muslims working for an Ariens manufacturing plant in Wisconsin have been told that they are no longer allowed to pray unless during the specified break time. However, this policy, which had been in place but unenforced for 25 years at the plant, there is a concern among Muslim employees that breaking to pray might result in being fired.
Any accusations of foul play or unfair treatment of Muslim employees would be void, as the company’s policy falls under the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s guidelines on fair treatment. This has not stopped Masjid Imam Hasan Abdi of Green Bay from admonishing the plant’s policy, as he voiced concern over what Muslim employees are expected to do if their break time doesn’t coincide with their designated prayer times.
Dan Ariens, CEO and chairman of the company, said the policy is being enforced in response to an unacceptable dip in policy. He also explained that non-Muslim members of the production teams felt uncomfortable about the breaks, as they didn’t feel it was fair to the rest of them.

I”M AMERICAN — CHRISTIAN/CATHOLIC –I MAKE MY PRAYER ON MY TIME—NOT ON COMPANY TIME;;(SHAME THOSE PEOPLE).
If you hire the$#%&!@*holes you need your heads anyway.
There is a law on these people comming in this country our older smarter leaders knew they would not exist under our law or America under thiers. Another law trying to be sweep under the carpet instead of being followed. This adminisration breaks our law every day but uses our law when thry see fit against us.
No company should have to kowtow to their wishes. If you want to pray on company time, go back to your stinking sand-pit and stay there. We don’t need you here, and we don’t want you here. You stink and you have no rights to demand anything here.
You get breaks and a lunch hour do it then.
no one should be under fire….this is our country…if you want it to be your country too….alter your prayer schedule
They are in business to make money, not support your f**e religion
Absolutely no accommodation for them!!!!! I will not buy anything from any company that support this BS !!!!!
Yet kids here in America can’t pray in school…. good ole antichrist spirit coming in like a flood, but… the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.
Welcome to America. We run our businesses this way. Don’t like it, go back to your god-forsaken country!
