While Christians are prosecuted for not baking cakes for homosexuals; “More than 40 Somali Muslims have apparently decided that if they can’t pray when they want to pray, they would just as soon stay home and collect unemployment. When Green Bay firm Ariens Manufacturing announced Thursday that they would no longer allow their Muslim employees to leave the production line twice a day for prayer, many of them said they would not be back.
‘I have been 35 years in America and I’ve never heard of a company that is not allowing its employees to pray five minutes,’ said employee Adan Hurr. ‘It is absolutely discrimination on its face.’
Except, of course, for the fact that Ariens is in no way prohibiting its Muslim employees from praying. According to a statement from the company (and the employees are not disputing this point), Ariens is merely ‘asking employees to pray during scheduled breaks in designated prayer rooms.’ The company can’t afford to bring production to a stand still twice a day while 53 employees talk to Allah. The fact that Ariens apparently has designated prayer rooms should, by itself, demonstrate how laughable it is to accuse them of discrimination.
A local Imam told the news that the employees were caught in an impossible situation. “If someone tells you, ‘You pray on your break,’ and the break time is not the prayer time? It will be impossible to pray,’ he said.”
“Hopefully someone will talk some sense into these disgruntled Muslims because this is the last thing their religion’s reputation needs right now.” http://totalconservative.com/muslims-walk-off-the-job-citing-discrimination/

I think they already understand the sense of it. This looks like a negotiation behavior to me. Companies should show sensitivity, and they have in this instance. Fundamentalist beliefs sometimes come into conflict with production goals.
We fired an extremist Christian receptionist because she wouldn’t stop proselytizing at people who just came to see the doctor. She saw it as an infringement of her religious rights, but what she was doing interrupted everyone’s work flow, and we were getting complaints from patients. Anyway, she lost her lawsuit. If you want to follow an ultra-religious life, you should become clergy or go live in a strictly religious community, like a monastery. The secular world is what it is. No one’s forcing you to live in it, but the rules aren’t God’s.

Thanks for the comment. The Bible does deal with the believer’s work ethics which means following the rules. The best worker ought to be a Christian and that in itself is a testimony of their Christian faith.
