Five-hundred Muslim workers walked off the job Monday at a Grand Island meatpacking plant after they say they were denied time to pray during the Muslim observance of Ramadan.

More than 100 workers at a Greeley Swift plant were fired last week because the company said they walked away from work before their shifts ended.

looks like they quit to me

[cva66snipe]

Did you think that up yourself?

Actually yea. I just began typing all the things he's is and has done. GWB the Republican LBJ.

[magooey]

Hey, I hear there are some vacancies in Gitmo. Let's suggest they try there!

[Petronski]

Either you don’t know much about LBJ or you don’t know much about history at all.

What the hell are these Muslims doing working here anyway? If they don’t like the fact that Americans work and their religion is not pandered to by business in the US, they need to go the hell back to Muslim countries and march around in the streets while doing nothing.

No religion in America has been given any special priveliges. Don’t like it, freakin’ leave.

[blam]

Track’em down and burn their houses too.

[cripplecreek]

Good Christians wouldn’t be here illegally and good Christians wouldn’t hire them if they were.

“derga derga, Mohamed Jihad !!!”

Well okay, if it means “F” you and the camel you rode in on, then yeah, that is what I wanted to say to them...

[dennisw]

Deport them if they want to go on welfare. Somalians are huge welfare consumers. We should never allow Muslims to immigrate. They are conceited and useless

[Bommer]

Why would I want to buy or eat any meat from a processing plant where the workers bodies and hands are on the floor 5 times a day?

“Well okay, if it means “F” you and the camel you rode in on, then yeah, that is what I wanted to say to them...”

I wish it did, I stole from the Team America Movie.

“The fact that there are 500 moslems in the state of NE is troubling.”

The fact that there are more than 500 Muslims in America is alarming. Our children will curse us for having let them into the country.

“...do they wear their long garb in the plant?”

Not only that but they also use their left hand. And you know what they do with their left hand, don’t you?

“...do they wear their long garb in the plant?”

Not only that but they also use their left hand. And you know what they do with their left hand, don’t you?

“I think we should bring in several thousand head hunters and witch doctors from the Congo..”

Bring them in? Hey man, they’re already here.

[SC Swamp Fox]

Fire them.

Read the next sentence....they did.

I'm ((really)) beginning to dislike this government and our leadership.

Me too. I used to think people who saw the government as a danger mostly to the already law-abiding were out on the fringe. Now I realize those "kooks" are largely right.

[A. Patriot]

They ought to change the line to pork. Then see if they come back.

I have been pretty conservative and ok with the government. But now I think that normal has left the ocuntry.
