200 Muslims Fired After Demanding Time To Pray According to recent reports, approximately 190 Muslim workers at a meat packing and distribution plant in Colorado have been fired after they walked off their job, demanding time to pray to Allah. The plant is owned by Cargill, and the dispute began when operators refused to let employees leave the assembly line as a group to pray. Instead, the company argued that only one or two employees could leave at once so the assembly line process could continue uninterrupted. Of course, CAIR quickly got involved and attempted to convince plant managers to shut down production so that the employees could go pray. The workers were told: If you want to pray, go home, Jaylani Hussein, a spokesman for CAIR commented. They feel missing their prayer is worse than losing their job. After the unionized workers walked off the job and refused to return until the prayer schedule was reinstated, Cargill decided to fire them for a no call, no show, walk out. Cargills decision was an easy one, given that it was extraordinarily costly to shut down an entire production line several times a day for prayers. Of course, he is still facing backlash from the Muslim community. CAIR and Cargill are set to have a teleconference this coming week to further discuss the issue.
