Concerns relating to litigation about religious discrimination have some American employers taking steps to make the workplace more Muslim-friendly, Bloomberg News reports.
Anything from establishing prayer rooms to having office parties sans alcohol are just some of the things U.S. companies are doing out of deference for their Muslim employees.
“The atmosphere is so toxic now that even having constitutionally protected religious accommodation in the workplace can somehow be controversial,” Ibrahim Hooper, communications director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), told Bloomberg.
CAIR filed complaints on behalf of Muslims whose jobs were terminated last January at a meat-packing plant after they walked-out in protest over the restrictions on their ability to have prayer breaks.
Ariens, a family-owned Wisconsin based roto tiller factory, tried to accommodate its Muslim workers prayer schedule at its factory, The U.S. Herald reported, but doing so satisfactorily made the production line less efficient, Ariens said in a statement.
Muslims must pray five times every day, with one added prayer on Friday.
About 1 percent of the U.S. population practices Islam, but 40 percent of religion-based workplace complaints filed with the U.S. Equal Opportunity Employment Commission in 2015 were Islam related.
“The value you get back from an employee who feels welcome and accommodated for their religious practices is immeasurable,” she says. “If employers don’t start taking these issues seriously, and put in measures to ensure that no one is subject to harassment, we’re going to see more claims,” Michelle Phillips, an employment law attorney, told Bloomberg.
Death and slavery.
Ariens products are made by goat f*ckers ? No more Ariens products.
Makes me want to puke.
Imagine being a supervisor in some of these work places? How do you schedule work around all these special accommodations? What a nightmare.
This world is on fast track to end of times.
This is just outright horsesh!t. What you get back from accommodating a Muslim isn't loyalty or their pleasure at being accepted; you get back even more demands until your whole belief system itself is compromised.
One percent of the population drives the workplace????
Our business leaders need to grow some cajones...
When you attend one of those “privileged courses” after you stand up and say, I am Joe and I am privileged, a unicorn runs through the crowd, it showers skittles and then you get a nice certificate as a parting gift.
One more reason to declare Islam a political movement and ban it.
The scumuslims won’t stop until they’ve queered everything up that they don’t like. Why are we allowing this subhuman garbage in, again? If they don’t want to assimilate to our lifestyle, they need to go home. All they want to do is conquer us. Who needs it, again?
#1 Have a very friendly dog in the interviewers office during every interview.
So should Christians be doing the same thing? We were taught not to bring lawsuits, at least among other Christans, and to settle peacefully elsewhere.
This is the fault of liberal judges letting this sort of thing fly.
Must be sharia compliant
Must be sharia compliant
Must be sharia compliant
I am angered at the weakness of those that ARE afraid.
THAT'S the quandary we all pray Trump can help remedy.
President Trump is not God, and you can't legislate morality, but you CAN uphold and support values that are traditionally OURS and you can legislate against treasonous systems being made legal because of cowardice.
We need to get the muslims OUT of our workplaces. And OUT of our country. Problem solved.
Yet another reason to automate and/or make the investment in robots and artificial intelligence.
How is this economy ever going to flourish again with this nonsense going on?
“Anything from establishing prayer rooms to having office parties sans alcohol are just some of the things U.S. companies are doing out of deference for their Muslim employees.”

This is completely ridiculous. An employer has to pay rent for space that could be used more productively? And can’t they just choose to abstain from alcohol at the parties; why force everyone else to not even have the choice?
Why are we bending over backwards to accommodate these people?
Next thing you know, Christmas office parties will be outlawed.
There was a public school in Toronto, I think, where they had all the boys sit in the front, the girls in the back, and at the very back, were all the girls who were having their period.
First, that is incredibly insulting and not in line with the values that make the U.S. and Canada attractive to these people. Unless they are coming for some other reason, about which they are lying (as they are supposed to do).
And second, I’d like to know who is checking on which girls were menstruating. When I was a teenaged girl, I really would not have liked discussing that with anyone.
...Fear of Moslem violence, fear of Moslem lawsuits, fear of offending Moslems, and fear of all the fear. Where does it end?...
Complete subjugation of the former United States of America
