Rocky Mountain News ^ | September 10, 2008

At least 130 Muslim workers at the north Greeley JBS Swift & Co. plant were fired Wednesday afternoon, apparently over a dispute involving breaks during Ramadan.

At issue is a request by Muslim workers to be able to take their lunch breaks at sunset to end their fast during Ramadan... expressed their dissatisfaction with negotiations by saying, “No prayer, no work.”

Good.

On the eve of the anniversary 9-11 the fact that these islamic thugs would be 'demanding' anything at all is astounding.

Now that they've lost their jobs, can they be deported?

Bravo for Swift! And if they were here on work visas, back they go to wherever they came from. If the economy is as bad as the dems keep saying, there are lots of others to take those jobs. And, BTW, the comments at the site are hysterical. My favorite: “You are throwing the human rights card around like you’re trying to get it in a hat.”

And that's the way it is.

300 walked out on Friday (wonder if the union was behind that?) and 150 were fired on Monday.

All 300 should have been fired.

The saracens are not required to eat during lunch break. It is the nature of a fast that it involves sacrifice. This is already problematical in that many, maybe most, have feasts after sunset to celebrate not eating during the day.If they were concerned about their fast and not so much about forcing their lifestyle on their employers and neighbors they would make use of lunch hour to meditate or read the Koran or arm wrestle or something.

"Now that they've lost their jobs, can they be deported"?

Nope.... Now the bastards and their multiple wives will go on welfare and sit on their asses laughing at the stupid infidels...while they rotate between their wives hammering out babies for us to feed and them to gain a more significant "presence" in America...

Folks who won't assimilate, or "when in Rome, will not do as the Romans" should NEVER under any circumstance be allowed into the U.S. for sanctuary or any other reason.....

If they wish to hew to Islamic traditions - they should remain in one of the 57 Islamic Republics.

Now they have lost their jobs half the trial lawyers in the country will be jetting in to explain to them how they can retire to estates in Medina or Dearborn after the lawsuits.
