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.

They can pray on they’re brakes. If they don’t like it. They can go duck then selves.
It’s a place of business, not a place of worship. You are adults, manage your time. If work interrupts your prayer time tjen perhaps you should work a midnight shift somewhere so you are free to pray during the day. You religion is just that, ” your religion”, it no else’s responsibility to manage you time to practice it. Stop using your religion as a tool to leverage it to get what ever you want. We can see through your actual intentions, this is about power, you use your religion as a weapon to extort your own objectives.
This makes me sick to think that employers are trying to help people by giving them a job, and then this, the answer go HOPME.

I have to go for daily communion my company lookd at me and said there’s the doo and don’t come back! Just an analogy but I don’t see the recpricoal for Christians.
There’s nothing in labor laws anywhere that recognize prayer time! Back to work assholes, you can pray when you are off the clock!
Either follow the rules or get another job, PERIOD.
F— their prayer time. They were hired to work not to practice their obscene so called religion.
….. PRAY BEFORE YOU GO TO WORK….!!!! PERIOD….!!!! THIS IS AMERICA….. NOT THE DESERT IN THE MIDDLE EAST…. SCUMBAGS
The law says no muslims allowed in the United States anyway.
Islam is prohibited in the USA. Copy and paste everywhere HEY OBAMA FORGOT ABOUT THIS LAW……Islam, by law, is prohibited from US immigration
The Immigration and Nationality Act passed June 27, 1952 revised the laws relating to immigration, naturalization, and nationality for the United States. That act, which became Public Law 414, established both the law and the intent of Congress regarding the immigration of Aliens to the US and remains in effect today. Among the many issues it covers, one in particular, found in Chapter 2 Section 212, is the prohibition of entry to the US if the Alien belongs to an organization seeking to overthrow the government of the United States by “force, violence, or other unconstitutional means.” This, by its very definition, rules out Islamic immigration to the United States, but this law is being ignored by the White House.Islamic immigration to the US would be prohibited under this law because the Koran, Sharia Law and the Hadith all require complete submission to Islam, which is antithetical to the US government, the Constitution, and to the Republic. All Muslims who attest that the Koran is their life’s guiding principal subscribe to submission to Islam and its form of government. Now the political correct crowd would say that Islamists cannot be prohibited from entering the US because Islam is a religion. Whether it is a religion is immaterial because the law states that Aliens who are affiliated with any “organization” that advocates the overthrow of our government are prohibited.
