DENVER (AP) - About 150 workers, most of them immigrants from Somalia, have been fired from a Colorado meat packing plant after walking off the job during a dispute over workplace prayer. The Denver Post reports...

That's how it's done.

[nopardons]

Send them all back to Somalia !

[Reno89519]

Next, deport them all.

I am hopeful that’s not followed by more H-2Bs.

[Pajamajan]

Hope they have armed guards at this place.

These people might come back looking for trouble.

[Cowboy Bob]

How does this trash even get into this country?

[Cyclops08]

Moral of the story: You do not get to shut down a factory 5 times a day. If you get all huffy about it and walk off the job, sharia law will not keep your a$$ from getting fired.

[a fool in paradise]

They came all that way to go packing.

[FreedomGuru]

They will sue and then own the meat packing plant.
I wonder if they were packing pork?

[dasboot]

Yeah...but the company just put itself in the justice dapartment’s crosshairs. The board will see prison and fines in record time. ANOTHER RED PILL.

Christians and Jews have been fired for merely wearing a symbol of their faith.

This is a private company not the government. They can do as they wish

[Reno89519]

While I can understand that companies need to make reasonable accommodation for worker religion, how does one support 5 calls to pray each day, maybe during that worker's 8-hour shift? Wouldn't "leave your medieval cult at home" and assimulate into America be better choice?

Company should add pork to its product line, as well as quit likely halal practices. Let the remaining Islamic workers quit if they don't like it. Deport them if they don't like it all.

Going to assume this is some Fed Government hiring scheme that went wrong. The company got paid big bucks to hire all these Muslimes, then the company realized they made a mistake.

[Washi]

This is a private company not the government. They can do as they wish

We shall see. I don't have that much confidence in the state of our personal freedoms at this point.

[Chickensoup]

Lawsuit and bankruptcy entering stage left.

If only this were still true. Heard of the bakers who just paid $140k in fines to the gubmint? Howabout the trucking company who hired and fired muzzies who wouldn’t deliver beer? They just got awarded $440k in back pay and “anguish”.

It just goes on and on and on. Until we have tort reform that limits these kind of lawsuits and reign in gubmint beurocrabbies; we are stuck with this nonsense.

The best and most important thing to do though is to remove Islam from the protected religions list for many reasons but mainly because it isn’t compatible with our Constitution or a true religion anyway.

[Chickensoup]

Talk to the cake bakers about that theory

[ImNotLying]

How do Muslimes work in a meat-packing plant? There’s got to be pork in there.

[ImNotLying]

Obama will get directly involved in this case. He knows a lot about meat-packing.

[RginTN]

The obama regime will soon get involved. Muslims can pray 5 times a day a MUST be accomodated. Christians well, go to jail for practicing their faith and not bowing down to gays.
