About 150 Muslims were fired from their jobs at a beef processing plant in Colorado for failing to show up for work over a prayer dispute.

Last month, a group of 11 workers at Cargill Meat Solutions in Fort Morgan wanted to go pray at the same time in a room in the plant that is set aside for prayer and reflection. Their supervisor asked that the group break up into smaller numbers to not affect production, according to CNN affiliate KCNC. The workers complied with the supervisor's request and went in smaller groups to pray. But after their shift ended, 10 of the 11 workers resigned, turning in their badges and hard hats, Cargill spokesman Michael Martin told CNN. News of the dispute spread to other plant employees, and about 150 Somali workers missed work for three days in protest.

Gee, it would sure be a good idea to migrate to the US.

Maybe a certain Kenyan knows the answer to that question.

These guys came in on Bush's watch. And why not? He rolled out the red carpet for them.

Why Hire Muslims with their problems when you can get good Catholic Mexicans who will work as hard (or harder) and only want Sundays, Easter and Christmas off --and they don't go all crazy about their religion and cut off people's heads.

Actually, most of these places used to be staffed by illegal Mexicans who were deported. Bush Jr. replaced them with legal Somalis.

At one time American citizens earned $20+/hr with benefits at these plants.

Perhaps Cargill has learned a valuable lesson - hire Mexicans.

Cargill, aka Excel, has hired illegal mexicans at the Fort Morgan beef processing plant for decades. The work force (2,000 plus employees) is probably 85% hispanic.

Oh you don’t want those darn American workers. That’s the logic of the CLE and their supporters.

Forcing Americans to submit to a foreign invasion is national suicide.

“Lynch and a friendly federal district court judge will have these muzzies’ owning Cargill before this is over.”

Exactly.

That might be next.
Cargill versus mudslimes. This is a case of cheering for casualties and damage. Both are excrement.

Since we’re talking meat here, I’ve read a couple articles about the big four quietly buying up all the small slaughter houses. Ever wonder why the meat prices have sky rocketed. Forgive the source, it still gives one a clue.

Foregive the source... puhleeeze!

There are at least three oil/gasoline refineries here in MT.

MT is a major beef producer

It costs me more here than back east for both meat or gasoline.

"CAIR should be labelled a terrorist organization."

Well, they were an unindicted co-conspirator in the nation's largest terror-funding case.

CAIR, an unindicted co-conspirator in the nation's largest terror-funding case, complained of the loss of donor revenue and the loss of contact with legislators and policymakers.

"Muslim Mafia" documents CAIR's support of jihad, recounting its origin as a front group for the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, the worldwide movement that has stated its intent to transform the U.S. into a Saudi-style Islamic state.

FBI wiretap evidence from the Holy Land case showed CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad was at an October 1993 meeting of Hamas leaders and activists in Philadelphia. CAIR, according to the evidence, was born out of a need to give a "media twinkle" to the Muslim leaders' agenda of supporting violent jihad abroad while slowly institutionalizing Islamic law in the U.S.

As WND reported in 2010, a federal judge later determined that the Justice Department provided "ample evidence" to designate CAIR as an unindicted terrorist co-conspirator, affirming the Muslim group has been involved in "a conspiracy to support Hamas."
