Somali workers win prayer case at Gold'n Plump (MN)
StarTribune ^ | 9/9/08 | Chris Serres

Posted on 09/09/2008 8:38:17 PM PDT by ButThreeLeftsDo

In a landmark settlement that could change the way Muslims are treated in the workplace, St. Cloud-based Gold'n Plump Inc. has agreed to allow Somali workers short prayer breaks and the right to refuse handling pork at its poultry processing facilities.

The federally mediated agreement is among the first in the nation that requires employers to accommodate the Islamic prayer schedule and the belief, held by many strict Muslims, that the Qur'an prohibits the touching and eating of pork products.

"For this group of Americans at this time in our nation's history, this is a very important outcome," said Joe Snodgrass, a St. Paul attorney who represented workers in the case.

its good to know that they won't be getting their hands on my sausages....

I think a definate a line of separation can be made between those that started using pork products and those that didn't...one culture thrived and expanded and progressed while the other stagnated....my theory only.....

We are better off having Mexican Catholics doing this work
because they buy off into what our society represents.

The Somali muslims, not so much.

The islamazation of America
CANNOT POST THIS ENOUGH!

As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness:

Nation % Muslim
United States 1.0%
Australia 1.5%
Italy 1.5%
Norway 1.8%
Canada 1.9%
China 2.0%

At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs:

Nation % Muslim
Denmark 2.0%
United Kingdom 2.7%
Germany 3.7%
Spain 4.0%
Thailand 4.6%

From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. (United States).

Nation % Muslim
Switzerland 4.3%
Philippines 5.0%
Sweden 5.0%
The Netherlands 5.5%
Trinida and Tabago 5.8%
France 8.0%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world. When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions (Paris –car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats (Amsterdam - Mohammed cartoons).

Nation % Muslim
Guyana 10.0%
India 13.4%
Israel 16.0%
Kenya 10.0%
Russia 15.0%

After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning:

Nation % Muslim
Ethiopia 32.8%

At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare:

Nation % Muslim
Bosnia 40.0%
Chad 50.1%
Lebanon 59.7%

From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels:

Nation % Muslim
Albania 70.0%
Malaysia 60.4%
Qatar 77.5%
Sudan 70.0%

After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide:

Nation % Muslim
Bangladesh 83.0%
Egypt 90.0%
Gaza 98.7%
Indonesia 86.1%
Iran 98.0%
Iraq 97.0%
Jordan 92.0%
Morocco 98.7%
Pakistan 97.0%
Syria 90.0%
Tajikistan 90.0%
Turkey 99.8%
United Arab Emirates 96.0%

100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace — there’s supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim: Nation % Muslim
Yemen 99.9%
Afghanistan 100.0%
Saudi Arabia 100.0%
Somalia 100.0%

Of course, that’s not the case. To satisfy their blood lust, Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons.


Does anyone know the author of this? I believe it came from a book.

and the right to refuse handling pork at its poultry processing facilities.

Which lends itself to the question of why there would be pork handling at a poultry processing facility.

And what products and labels they produce that I can boycott.

Where do these Somali Muzzie POSs not cause problems?

They're making problems in Greely, CO, they're being pains in the ass in Minnesota, they're disturbing the peace in Maine.

Wherever these scumbags go, problems follow.

“Why are Somali workers in the US?”

Because they have been allowed to flee their POS homeland and settle here while demanding that WE cater to THEIR wants, needs and religious “views”.

Meanwhile, I catch hell for being prepared for the coming sh*&storm in this country.....

Somalis are in the US due to a United Nations relocation program.

Another reason to get out of the UN and get the UN out of here.

The Somalis have also been outsourced to Norway - among other places - of course these sub saharan muslims fit right in with that Nordic culture.

Sooner or later - there will be a spark that ignites a fire that will make it very unpleasant for these folks.

Do our leaders understand that Islam is incompatible with the United States Constitution? Check out the Truth For Muslims 2008 Voter Leadership Guide!

It would also help if a bunch of Christians would give these Somalis the Bible in the Somali language, the 16-language Jesus DVD (Somali is one of the languages) and pray for their conversion to Christianity.

Does it “require employers” or did the employer agree to?
Huge difference.
If the Feds said they HAD to, well, then we’d have a problem.
Oh! re: cabs. Kind of same line.
Feds say you WILL carry “helper” animals.
Which is why they apparently went for the alcohol no fines appeal approach...

You mean their belief that being drunk makes them drive better?

In theory, that’s a really great idea. But, if you know anyone in the hospitality business, you would know that they have pulled Bibles out of their hotel/motel rooms because they are tired of having them thrown in their faces along with death threats from their Muslim “guests”.
