In CAIR’s booklet titled “An Employer’s Guide to Islamic Religious Practices” it sets demands upon employers that are seemingly outrageous and quite discriminatory to other religions. Here are a few :
Friday is the day for congregational worship, called Jum’ah. The prayer generally takes place at a mosque during the noontime prayer and includes an address or sermon, and lasts a total of 45 to 90 minutes.
Performing the rituals of the pilgrimage may last five days during the second week of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar. However, considerable variations exist in trip arrangements, and group travel may take 10-21 days. Muslim employees may choose to make pilgrimage using vacation time.
Employers may wish to modify dress code policies so that religiously-mandated attire is addressed as a diversity issue. For example, many corporations have a policy forbidding the wearing of “hats.” This rule may be amended to exempt items such as head scarves and skullcaps.
A Muslim employee should not be asked to serve or sell religiously offensive products, such as alcoholic beverages
The above described accommodations are nothing more than the forcing of American institutions to comply with a law that is completely and unequivocally antithetical to our Constitution and our laws. It is called Sharia Law, and the acceptance of the above demands is opening a dangerous door that will soon be unable to close.
Expecting an employer to allow 45-90 minutes each Friday for a muslim to leave the premises and pray should not be allowed. Even though they say the employee will make up the time, a lot of corporations don’t have the ability to let them do so. In addition, has Home Depot given thought to what would happen if this employee had an accident to or from work? Would it be considered workers compensation since the employee is in fact working?
Being that most employees hired by Home Depot are part-time, how would being able to take 10-21 days vacation be feasible?
Modify dress codes? A hijab has the potential to be one of the biggest safety concerns an employer will have. Just back a few years ago, a company that makes tortillas was faced with a law suit by CAIR due to a woman wanting to wear a loose-fitting blouse and pants while operating a roller press. One can only imagine if the clothing or scarf was caught in the press.
Probably the biggest scam is that muslims can’t touch certain haram or illegal products. How is it then a vast number of liquor stores and convenience stores owned and operated by muslims are selling the very products they profess they can’t have contact with?
In a world where Christians are being slaughtered and Jews are being oppressed by muslims, how can any American, let alone American Corporation blatantly ignore the travesty by embracing the enemy.
The Arab folk you are talking about are likely Chaldeans,.....Baghdad Christians.
