Outraged Muslims....

[resister]

Care to show me where I mentioned religion in that post?

Maybe comparing disabled people in the workforce to muslims demanding more accomodations than the handicapped?

I am not one who hates Muslims. I have had friends who were Muslims. But, this sort of nonsense is ridiculous and doesn't help their cause.

"Outraged Muslims are reportedly planning a May 1 demonstration at the Amazon headquarters in Seattle, Washington.The company is under fire after several Muslim security guards demanded time and space to pray five times a day, while on the job."


The guards contend in a lawsuit filed this week that the subcontractor who employs them does not appropriately accommodate their faith and retaliates against those who speak out.

I was a police officer for 30 years. We hired Christians who applied, took the tests, interviewed, and didn't mention that they shouldn't have to work on Sunday until after they were hired. They didn't get what they wanted. If someone did say, before they applied or tested, that they wouldn't work on Sunday we would suggest they find another line of work.

If you have peculiar personal needs then you need to find a job that accommodates those needs. It's not up to employers to accommodate you.

In the immortal words of someone "$#@! em" . If your job includes working during religious times deal with it. I'll bet their cool with the christian nurses and docs working the ER on a Sunday when THEY need it.

No. I remember that they said the same things about us Catholics 117 years ago they are saying about the Muslims now. Treat the Muslims no better and no worse than any other religion. The law demands it.

You remember that?

If fhe fanatical Muslums want to take several prayer breaks a day then they can work on all my holidays and vacations.

I see. I think that equality will provoke no problem.

You are part of the problem. People who believe as you do guarantee our laws will become Sharia-compliant. Each tiny change will go unnoticed. Precedent will build upon precedent. And your children will live under Sharia.

If you were wearing a cross around your neck and the police commissioner told you and others not to wear it while working, would you have issue with that?

I was mistaken, I apologize.

Register we have some members that are incapable of typing those words. So good for you, you just set an example for them!

Believing yourself beyond capable of being wrong or mistaken is a sure sign of a huge ego and is a handicap in life to any who regard themselves, that way.

I guess your apology is now null and void.


Anyway, I gave an example of how companies can adapt to employees' needs, which had nothing to do with religion.

If it were visible, of course not. A police officer isn't being paid to advertise his religion, Amway, the Masons, or the Democrat Party. We had an officer put a political sticker on his patrol car and he got to remove it on his own time.

I would not have allowed officers to wear symbols of their religion with their uniforms. But, women working in records were free to wear small crosses or small Stars of David if they wished.
