Nearly 150 Muslims fired for absences after prayer dispute at Colorado plant

About 150 Muslims were fired from their jobs at a beef processing plant in Colorado for failing to show up for work over a prayer dispute.

Last month, a group of 11 workers at Cargill Meat Solutions in Fort Morgan wanted to go pray at the same time in a room in the plant that is set aside for prayer and reflection. Their supervisor asked that the group break up into smaller numbers to not affect production, according to CNN affiliate KCNC. The workers complied with the supervisor's request and went in smaller groups to pray. But after their shift ended, 10 of the 11 workers resigned, turning in their badges and hard hats, Cargill spokesman Michael Martin told CNN. News of the dispute spread to other plant employees, and about 150 Somali workers missed work for three days in protest.

Not the only town to have somali problems. Tysons hired in a bunch of them at Noel, MO and they have been trouble.

Noel used to be a nice summer resort town. Now it is trashed, and THAT was before the floods this week.

I’m sorry, I’ve never heard of a business prior to this one having an isolated prayer room for their religion.
I’d say, go out to the parking lot on your break and be back on time.

Wow. Can you imagine working at a meat packing plant filled with angry Muslims from North Africa? Hope all the infidels get hazard pay.

Good. We are going to be at war with Islam. Might as well start now.

Islam, it’s as easy to understand as 1,2,3.

1. Where Islam goes, trouble and death follow.

2. Trouble and death increase proportionally as the population of Muslims in any given area increases.

3. In countries under Islamic rule, trouble and death is meted out by both citizens and the government.

When I was in a small town in Thailand years ago, the Muslims were the ones who slaughtered beef and the Chinese did the pigs. My buddy lived in a compound where some Muslims lived. I saw them out in the yard practicing knife throwing into a tree on their downtime.

So out of 2,100 employees at that plant 650 are from Somali. 31% foreigners working there lend credence to the stories of displaced American workers.

At what point in history were Somalians thinking: Gee, it would sure be a good idea to migrate to the US.

Seriously? If you were living in a grass hut and had a chance to come here, all expenses paid with all kinds of benefits, would you stay?

Why Hire Muslims with their problems when you can get good Catholic Mexicans who will work as hard (or harder) and only want Sundays, Easter and Christmas off—and they don’t go all crazy about their religion and cut off people’s heads.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if our own gubmint subsidizes Cargill for giving them employment.
