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.

Why are these dang companies hiring these people when they know this
How much time do Christians, Jews and Buddhists get during the work day to pray??? I hope that the pray at work policies of all companies are fair and equitable to all religions and not giving preferential treatment to one religion over all the others.
All workers should get same time off too.
Just don’t hire the assholes,no one says you have to hire these towel carrying idiots anyways.
Christians can pray anywhere anytime while they do whatever they are doing because the kingdom of God is inside them. They don’t need to put on a show so that everyone else thinks that they are holy. God isn’t listening to your prayers Muslims anyway, He turns his face against sinners.
I guess nobody is going to hire these idiots! go home
Give the jobs back to rightful american citizens.
GO BACK TO YOUR SAND BOX! AS HOLES!
How about those who are Christians? You gave been persecuting Christians. We deserve also respect for our faith.
What tha?????? Our children cannot say the Pledge of Allegiance & working folks cannot bring their Bibles to work to read during lunch, but they are putting a country under fire????? Who in God’s name are making these lefttist laws? They are not of the Bill of Rights!! If Muslims cannot live the American way, return to your place you came from! We donot want you here in our God given country and take your leader with you!!
