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.

THIS IS OUR COUNTRY!!! ALL MUSLIMS CAN GET THE$#%&!@*OUT!!!
Bunch of bull If we can’t pray in our own country What makes them think their privileged
Dorothy Grantham except Muslims they have to face a certain way for a certain amount of time and certain times during the day. Its much different then just closing your eyes and saying your prayer.
Its not that way for Muslim prayer they have certain times they pray and they face a certain way on their mats on their knees. Im not a Muslim but I have worked with some people who are and I thought it was a bit ridiculous but I got over it when our boss let us all have brakes they did their prayers some people got to go have a smoke brake it wasnt a big deal we worked at a huge greenhouse. I can see where it might become a problem for some companies though.
Fire them
And how has Christians, Jews, and Catholic’s had the privilege to stop work and honor the only God? Oh wait we never have had that privilege
Tisha Wilson their Koran also allows them to make up prayer ifcthey cantcdo it at the appointed time, so screw that cult of baby Rapist!
Pray on your lunch break, and then shut the hell up. Where are all the atheists who are always ready with criticism for Christians?
