So, what happens if co-workers eat pork sandwiches in their lunch-break? Or salami...or come to think of it, anything meaty that hasn't been ritually slaughtered, I wonder? Hey, what if a female co-worker shows up in a mini-skirt, does that prove she's a whore? Can they get permission to stone her in the parking lot?
A little bit of sharia is like a little bit pregnant.

Yup. It's part of their faith, that's when they get on their knees facing Mecca.

The absolute damndest thing about this is that they will sue for religious discrimination... and they WILL win.

And Christians might as well keep on bending over and taking it au naturale...

Move all their workbenches so they can face the east, let them pray under their breath to themselves, and if they don't like it tell them to go FT-selves!

Right. That's why there is a short Ash Wed. service around lunch hour, as well as an early morning and late evening one.

Most of us do not flaunt our ashes. In fact, we are specifically told not to do so.

......Its mission is to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding.

.......Its mission (CAIR) is to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding to Murder women and children, Bomb buildings, Slit throats, and any other heinous acts they can get away with.

There! Fixed! That's better.

Thanks for the ping!

So FD, is Captain America going to represent Dell against CAIR? Dell will need all the help it can get.

There is NO WAY CAIR is going to let Dell get away with this...

to be continued...calling the ACLU...Yep.They are on their way!

There is no law that states you can repeatedly disrupt the workplace every day for prayer or for anything else.

Something smells here. I am an orthodox Jew and I pray three times a day, morning, afternoon, and evening. At work, during the winter months when sunset is earlier, I must pray for 5 minutes sometime before sunset. I don't bother anyone, "hide" to the best of my ability, and quietly get it done. This practice is done here by thousands of Observant Jews. Something about this case at Dell makes me smell a rat. I want to know Dell's side of this story.

Furthermore most companies, and I'm sure Dell is no exception, are extremely understanding and accommodating about religious observance, within reason. It seems to me there's more here than meets the eye.

Sorry to say, but in Australia we have already experienced the result of calls for such tolerance...several employers have been forced to both re-hire employees and/or provide a seperate room for muslim prayers.
What the muslims themselves do not realise is, they are not making gains for islam, they are turning even the most tolerant Australians against them. Work opportunities become limited as a result of this type of agitation. (Not that the clerics give a d*man.)
Islam must be oppressed, remember?
