Employer Fires 53 Muslim Employees Because They Stopped Work To Pray Over the past few years, employers have been required to bend over backwards to accommodate Sharia lawsoften at the cost of business. But this might be an oversight on the part of the employers, given that the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission clearly states that an employer does not have to accommodate an employees religious beliefs or practices if doing so would cause undue hardship of the employer. An example of this is decreased efficiency. That law did not stop Ariens Manufacturing from coming under fire recently, however. Ariens was forced to release 53 Muslim employees working at its Green Bay facility after they continued to leave their positions on the assembly line to pray, without the approval of management. The ten minute delay was causing significant production interruptions, and the company was sick of it. Of course, CAIR has already targeted the company and is urging them to change their policies. Were hoping they stay strong on this one.
