Muslims Everywhere Are Furious After DHL Makes Huge Stand Against Islam Mohamed Maow worked at DHL Global Mail in Kentucky for three years, after coming to the United States from Somalia in 2007. He earned $11.57 an hour to sort mail, and was paid time-and-a-half for overtime. It was a good job, Maow said of DHL, claiming that he never received a bad review. Still, in the beginning of October, DHL made the controversial decision to reverse a policy of flexible break times for prayer. Maow was fired along with two dozen other Muslims. Now, Maow is one of 11 complaints that have been filed with the United States Equal Opportunity Commission, and they are 13 more still expected. The complaint claims that DHL Global Mail fired a group of Muslims for exercising the religious rights. Now, CAIR has stepped in and demanded that DHL face all consequences outlined in the Kentucky Civil Rights Act, including damages and reinstatement. Salaat, the second pillar of Islam, requires prayer to be performed at five specific times during the day. DHL claims they fired all of the employees because they were insubordinate, disrespectful, and engaged in hostile conduct, one CAIR attorney rights. The insubordinate claim stems from the entire group going to pray at 7:24 p.m. Additionally, they claim several employees responded in a loud and hostile manner to the change in policy. This is just one of many cases where lawsuits have been filed after Muslims have been denied additional breaks for religious prayer. What do you think? Should employers be required to grant Muslims 5 additional breaks per day?
