I received this reply after contacting Tyson Foods. amazing how we go out of our way to make people comfortable in our country. oh I am sure that most Middle Eastern Countries including Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria and the Sudan would do this for their small Christian or non-Muslim population.

Last time I checked, Islam was a religion. But that’s OK. I don’t buy Tyson chicken anyhow.

And this is suppose to make me feel all cozy to know it is only in one area. Who cares, they should be shut down.

Who in their right mind, would knowingly buy food that was processed by Muslims?

The Muslim population at the Shelbyville plant is primarily composed of approximately 250 Somali employees, who are political refugees, most of whom came to the plant as a result of refugee resettlement efforts based in Nashville. That part is a lie. The refugee organizations in Nashville didn't know there were Somalians in Nashville until early this year.

Eid al-Fitr, as one of their eight paid holidays, in place of Labor DayAs Michael Savage asked a caller who was ok with this yesterday, "how would you feel if they replaced Martin Luther King Day with a religeous holiday?"

“Contrary to recent reports, Labor Day is still a holiday at Tyson Foods. This issue concerns only the plant at Shelbyville, TN.”
This is contradictory. It IS a change. It is the principle of the matter. We are then told it is NOT religious but it IS a religious holiday.
Snopes will probably call this another FALSE rumor.

Nope! What really happened was is that we told them straight up we weren’t buying their meat anymore and they caved in. Amazing what good things happen when a small minority of God fearing Americans stand up for what's right!

Libby Lawson, a Tyson spokeswoman, noted that the plant had three Christian chaplains and prayer rooms for Muslims and Christians alike. Are these separate but equal prayer rooms or a common area open to use by anyone of any faith?

Reverend Martin Luther was identified as a holy man. It is a national religous holiday.

What really happened was is that we told them straight up we werent buying their meat anymore and they caved in. I don't see where they've caved in at all.

So you only have to honor that if you are part of the union?
That seems cost restrictive to me. To run a plant at 30% labor on the whatever muslim holiday.
To: dvan
So are they setting up a system that every employer must allow Muslims to have a “prayer room”?
To: mainestategop
They didn’t cave. Nothing changed except wording. They allow the non-union members off on Labor Day, but the union members work labor day and get off on the muslim holiday. It’s exactly the same.
