Religion on the job sucks. Unless of course your a Chaplin or something.

To think that this plant had the audacity to insult the majority of their workers because of the cries of a small minority. Please!

I mean do that on your own time. As the saying goes “when in Rome do as the Romans do”

But we don’t get that same respect here in America. Everyone wants to be segmented off and have their own special rights.

You knew that when you took this job it could interfere with Ramadan or any other religious holiday.

I respect all faiths, but it really annoys me when yours tries to triumph mine or when my daily life is affected by your religion.

I may not have posted on this but I have posted for over a year and ahalf my distain for Islam and Muslims. I have posted links where you can find all Muslim owned businesses in any area and boycott them. I have not and will not deal with any Muslim owned business or any business that employs Muslims.

I gave up pushing, Boycooy Islam, no one seemed interested.

@ Carl All I came up with was what is on Swift’s site. Any sub-companies, I had problems with too.

Fred I have been scouring the net trying to put together a list of the various brand names they sell products under. No luck so far but if I get something I’ll let you know. Everyone, in addition to flodding them with e-mails about this, needs to boycott anything they make.

Like I have said, boycott Swift and let them know. Our money is stronger than Muslim workers.

And, outstanding post. I’m going to “steal” it later when I’m off work and post it at Vilmar’s. Of course, it will be linked back to you.

I tried to comment on your post yesterday but kept getting something about Java settings and not being able to post. I wanted to post a link to the Detroit news link where Call To Prayers are now being broadcast in Hamtramck, Michigan.

Well dammit Fred…you’re right! For my part, or lack there of, I do apologize! Nor will I make any excuses! Problem will be remedied as soon as possible.
