gaybriel - so now the whole country is to be less productive ?
ie muslims and nonmuslioms having extra breaks.

you can start a company that offers this to all employees and stays profitable.


why don't we just all lie down and comtemplate our navals for 14 years so we don't offend anyone ???


if someone wants extra breaks, do it in your own time and dont offend others

What was actually being suggested? 2% could easily undermine a society in a big way.

it's not about offending people- it's about catering to the diversity that we actively encourage to proliferate.

australia cannot purport itself to be mutli-cultural and then refuse to cater to the diversity that is inherent to this multi-culturalism. it's unrealistic, not to menton hypocritical.

you are overreacting, making a mountain out of a molehilld

unhypocritical?

If you decide to stop working, the whole country becomes less productive. Just not by very much. 2% of the population will obviously have an impact.

I think the Dirty Digger was talking about handouts to industry, not workers.

Muslims win lawsuit for 'fasting' and 'prayers' on the

An Arab-Christian woman and critic of Islam says it is unfortunate that Islamic intimidation is forcing American companies to give Muslims special privileges not afforded to other groups.

Under a settlement of a federal religious discrimination lawsuit, up to 100 Somali Muslims who are current or former workers of a St. Cloud, Minnesota, meatpacking plant will receive a total of $365,000. The U.S. Equal Employment Commission filed suit against Gold'n Plump, Inc., and the Work Connection, Inc., an employment agency which handled some hiring for the plant.

Under the settlement, Goldn' Plump agreed to pay $215,000 to workers who were terminated for taking prayer breaks, and Work Connection will pay $150,000 to workers who were asked to sign a form acknowledging that they might be required to handle pork, which many Muslims consider unclean.

Brigitte Gabriel, founder and president of ACT! for America, is outraged. "It is unfortunate that we are seeing organizations like CAIR, the Council on American Islamic Relations, working with these groups and representing these groups," she contends. "And a lot of corporations who do not want a dragged-out, basically a bad public relations campaign in the United States, are succumbing to this intimidation."

Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, according to Gabriel, must pander to Islamic work place demands as well. "We already see Walt Disney, for example, conducting training to their leaders at Disney World to teach them about being sensitive to Islamic demands, prayers on the work, fasting on the work because they have a lot of Muslim employees," she adds.

Gabriel is urging the American public to stand up against special treatment for Muslims.
