The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) filed a religious discrimination complaint on Tuesday, in an ongoing debate over prayer breaks between a Wisconsin manufacturing company and Muslim workers.
Ariens Co., which manufactures snow blowers and lawnmowers at a plant outside Green Bay, Wis., fired seven of its Muslim employees in January, and another 14 resigned, after the company told Muslim workers they should stop taking an extra break for prayer, Laura Putre reported for Industry Week.
The prayer break dispute has reached its fifth month without resolution and highlights the challenges of balancing religious accommodation with work schedules, especially in a multicultural setting.

When will Jesse Jackson and AL Sharpton start standing up for muslims? That’s got to be a tough decision for them. Black workers are having to carry the load while the muslims go pray.
I think it’s time for some Christian religious leaders to start making up some new suggestions that Christians should do to be true to the faith. Thirty minute prayer breaks ever hour should do it.
They got two 10 minute breaks, presumably in addition to a 30-60 mimute lunch if they were full time. If they can’t fit their prayer ritual around that, too bad.
Roger that!
Did you Google what the Moslems pray for five times a day?
The irony is that many of the liberals demanding the privileging of Islam ignore the fact that atheists are top on the Muslim kill list.
Dennis Prager talks about the war of the world views in his book, Still the Best Hope. Liberals ally with Muslims because it gives them a religious group that can help them attack Christianity while still saying “we don’t hate all religion, look, these people agree with us”. And they think that the poor backward Muslim will join them if only properly educated, not appreciating or understanding that even moderate Muslims agree you can kill a cheating wife or kid who changes religions. Some liberals are attracted to the all encompassing authoritarian system, state and faith merged, though for them, it would be non-faith and state. If only those pesky Christians got out of the way! Well, send the Muslim attack dogs in to do it.
The Judeo-Christian culture is still the strongest Christian culture, due to American technological prowess. But it is at war with both the liberal-secular and the Islamo-fascist, and we have a liberal-secular regime that says we’re going to fight extremists, before coughing “Islam” and moving on to rant about the Tea Party.

Do Catholics get time off to attend daily Mass — usually about 30 minutes or so?
I already know. Didn’t need the googlebox for that one. Been down range a lot in those places. Seen more than enough to teach me their religion is deception. Read most of the koran and wanted to take a shower every time.
For those who want to learn everything about this religious system (it’s not a religion as we know it in the West) look for a copy of “Reliance of the Traveler”. It is the go-to book for adjudication of questions. Its online as a pdf if you look.
It tells you how you can divorce your wife, beat your slaves, and wipe after peeing. Or is it beat your wife and wipe your slave? It’s all in there.
Oh, helpful tip, you have to sell your livestock in the next village over (not your own) if you’ve had sex with it. I guess that cuts down on in-breeding?
Pretty disgusting once you peel back a layer.
No imo.
More specifically, when the Supreme Court decided United States v. Cruikshank, it clarified that the states required only the feds, and later the states themselves through Section 1 of the 14th Amendment, but not individual citizens, to respect rights that the states amend the Constitution to expressly protect.
On the other hand, employers have to comply with state labor laws, as long as such laws do not abridge an employer’s constitutionally numerated rights, so says Section 1 of the 14th Amendment.
14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Also, although it would be a probably good idea if small business owners complied with federal labor laws because such owners generally don’t have the deep pockets needed to fight the unconstitutionally big federal government, a major constitutional problem with federal labor laws is that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to make INTRAstate labor laws. This is evidenced by the following excerpt.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Insights, corrections welcome.
53 less troublemakers sounds like a win situation to me. Someone should have clued them in they live in the USA now.
while it is said to be compulsory for muslims to pray five prayers a day, the prayers don’t have to all be done during the day if there is a compelling reason (employment). The prayers can be done before the employee goes to work or when the employee goes home (just like everybody else does).
I shitcan every resume that arrives at my company containing a muslim or arabic-sounding name.
Retirement seems unlikely anytime soon. I'm nearly 60 and still working 9 AM to after midnight most days. Today has been spent wrangling Visual C++ MFC user interface modifications. The UI is done. The underlying tweaks to program state happen tomorrow.
Are the Muslims off the clock when at prayer?
Special rooms AND buses so they didn’t have to commute??!! They had it made!
But no, couldn’t help but complain...
CAIR is an un-indicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation (Hamas) trial, and a subsidiary of the Muslim Brotherhood. They should be banned, not out filing harassment lawsuits.
Just as soon as Christians are given Sunday off.
NO! As a Christian, you can’t pray when you want to at work. Unless you mutter it under your breath. You sure don’t have to make a show of spreading out a rug and lying face down on it.
Thanks for the lead to “Reliance of the Traveler.” As time permits, I may read it.
HST, “Reliance of the Traveler” may be a classic case the “TMI” phenomenon we have all experienced. All of us learned all we need to know about Islam on 911!
I refuse to refer to Islam as a “Religion.” AFAIAC, it is a Satanic Death Cult! There will be peace on earth when Islam is non-existent on earth!
Please allow me to correct your last sentence: Islam is VERY disgusting once you peel back the layers.
