GRAND ISLAND —
About 50 to 80 Muslims quit at the JBS Swift & Co. meatpacking plant Thursday night.
Dan Hoppes, president of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local No. 22, said the matter stems from the recent debate over break time for the purpose of prayer during the holy month of Ramadan.
"There were some Muslim people who wanted to get the rest of the people to back them to moving their (dinner) break to an earlier time, and when that did not happen, the rest of the people went back to work and those people protesting got loud and boisterous. It wasn't a physical altercation at all," Hoppes said.
But there was fear that it might get physical, so the police were called into the Swift plant about 9 p.m.
"By the time the police got there, it was settled down, and several of them went ahead and quit or left the plant," Hoppes said. "They were told either go back to work or leave.
"Some of them chose to leave -- to quit," Hoppes said.
The workers who quit were from B shift -- the evening shift that typically works from 3 to 11:30 p.m.
About 500 Somalian workers had staged a similar prayer protest on Monday and Tuesday. An earlier dinner break time was negotiated with the Muslims, Swift and the union, but that was then rescinded after the majority of other Swift workers counterprotested on Wednesday and Thursday.
Things seemed to be back to normal at the plant today, Hoppes said.
"The morning shift started (Friday) morning -- I think they are full, and the B shift, if they are short that many people, it will be a little slower, but they are planning (to run) just like regular," he said.
A call to Swift's corporate headquarters in Greeley, Colo., was not returned.
Islam is not a religion nor is it a cult. It is a complete system. Islam has religious, legal, political, economic and military components. The religious component is a beard for all the other components. Islamization occurs when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their so-called ‘religious rights'.
When politically correct and culturally diverse societies agree to ‘the reasonable’ Muslim demands for their ‘religious rights,’ they also get the other components under the table. Here’s how it works (percentages source CIA: The World Fact Book (2007)).
As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness:
At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs:
From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. (United States).
At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world. When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions (Paris –car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats (Amsterdam - Mohammed cartoons).
After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning:
At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare:
From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels:
After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide:
100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace — there’s supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim:
Of course, that’s not the case. To satisfy their blood lust, Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons.
"Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world and all of us against the infidel."
– Leon Uris, ‘The Haj’.
It is good to remember that in many, many countries, such as France, the Muslim populations are centered around ghettos based on their ethnicity. Muslims do not integrate into the community at large. Therefore, they exercise more power than their national average would indicate.
I agree. Thank you Ron.
All the Muslim troublemakers there need to be Swift-Booted!
Tell me about it. I’ve been arguing with an inter-faith quack for the last two weeks—a guy who thinks the local Muslim population is anxious to integrate and learn the ways of western representive republics.
How many have to die before we realize the enemy is Islam?
Unless there’s more than one Swift plant at G I, I believe this one is a beef plant for “fat” cattle (younger stock that produce good steaks). I hauled a load there a couple of years ago.
You make some very salient points.
Our food supply is that much safer
Thank you.
Yours is one of the best summaries I have read on how Muslims operate.
I will keep and share. I suggest that everyone read, remember, and act accordingly.
Don't forget, these instigators are probably the Muslim leaders in the community, like a community organizer : ^ ) and Islam is not like other religions where people separate their faith, politics, family, community into neat little compartments so they can actually interrelate on social levels like civilized human beings
Islam is a total system, a lifestyle, this is hardly the end of this
Expect a few heads to roll, literally.
Great rundown.
Seems worthwhile to send this to the media. You never know, someone Might print such a thing. And in so doing, Educate those who don’t know how Hostile and Anti-Non-Islam they are.
This is excellent news for Swift. Glad they are gone.
Fired? How the heck did they get hired?
I’m much more concerned with the last 400 years of multiculti stuff. It was really great before all those funny little foreign guys came in.
“They told the illegal immigrants they don’t have the right to express their opinion,” Amya said. “A superintendent told people who don’t have documents that they don’t have a right to express their opinion or they will be fired.”
Not exactly “hiding in the shadows”
So is this this place gonna get raided again?
-So is this this place gonna get raided again?
arghghhg typo.
Buh Bye...Never needed you, won’t miss you, go back where you came from, Don’t ever come back. The US is for civilized peoples. Not you.
Thanks!
Incredible! What a sad farce.
