If you think this is good, please don't complain when they limit Christian and Jewish prayers, too When was the last time you saw Christians/Jews complaining about prayer limitation?

I began to lose confidence in Dell when they started a policy against gun ownership.
How did they do this? And why would a software company do this?
To: Yinzer
Ash Wednesday is
ONCE a year,
NOT EVERY DAY!
The company is there to make money an this accomodation will affect them. It is unfair to expect the company to just accept this.
Perhaps if they punched in and out each time they needed to pray, and they could accomodate the company by staggering the prayers...(yeah, right!)

I recall the same anti firearm incident. And like you, (assuming Dell don't back down) have been given a little confidence back in Dell.

I thought the average wait time to pray was 43 minutes. Your prayers are important to Allah. There are *pause* 27 *pause* prayers ahead of yours. Please remain kneeling, as changing position will only cause further delays. Allah appreciates your devotion and patience. Thank-you for facing Mecca.

It's a cult. A mind-numbing, kow-towing with your rear in the air, group-think cult.
They are like rats conditioned to react a certain way to a bell. Howling 'call to prayer'= grovel on the ground.
Try to stop a rat from perfoming it's conditioned response. It goes crazy.
Islam= a mind controlling cult. It's a disease upon humanity.

No wonder these people are so far behind the West. When do they find time to work? Yup. Throw in a jihad or two, couple of fatwa's, the occasional pilgrimage.......wow.
No wonder.

Funny how Muslims suddenly get religion when they come to the USA. Could it have something to do with politics?Intimidation. And from Muslims it's not just social pressure.

Maybe Dell will offer free one way tickets to Arabia in a promotion for Muslim purchasers as compensation for their inconvenience of living out of their element?
To: ambrose
I wonder if this accommodation will also require the loud wailing sound that alerts them it's time to pray?
Employers do not pay people to practice their personal religious beliefs - they pay people to perform a function to produce goods and services for the betterment of the company.
All of these demands are to sublimate the driving will of American workers to the demands of fevered Islamic
religiosity.
I applaud Dell for standing up to it.
To: Yinzer
good point. If this were 30 Catholics that were fired for going to get ashes on Ash Wednesday people here would be screaming.No, newbie.

Wonder what would happen if 30 Catholics got together ONCE a day to pray the rosary?
Enter ACLU saying they couldn't do that. Where are they here?

There is a bonafide Hell for Islamists. It's a local call in Mecca.

Then, as we started to become more keen on TROP we found that it is possible for them to "make up" for missed prayer...yet another "caveat" we exploited at their chagrin. Exactly right. The Quran permits them to make up prayers that they are unable to observe, without any penalty.
