Another Muslim workplace lawsuit in order to impose Islam on the workplace. This is what they do.
Islamic supremacists chip, chip, chip away at the establishment clause, and in doing so, impose Islam on the secular marketplace. Muslim lawsuits against Hertz, Wal-Mart, Target, Disney and a host of other American businesses for special rights and special accommodation have been largely successful creating a special rights for a special class of people — which is an accordance with Islam (in which Muslims are superior to the kuffar). But it goes against every American tenet of individual rights and separation of mosque and state.
Read the chapter, “Mosqueing the Workplace” in my book, Stop the Islamization of America, to better understand this de facto imposition of sharia in America.

“Muslim Amazon workers say they don’t have enough time to pray. Now they’re fighting for their rights.” by Chavie Lieber, Vox, December 14, 2018 (thanks to Mark):
Khadra Ibrahin, a 28-year-old single mother of two and Somali immigrant living in Minneapolis, has been working at Amazon’s Shakopee fulfillment center for two years.
As a practicing Muslim, Ibrahin tries to pray five times a day. But because Amazon has the warehouse associates working on a strict hourly packing quota, she says she cannot take a prayer break. Associates are pressured to “make rate,” with the rate number increasing and decreasing depending on the season’s demand. The warehouse’s current packing rate is 240 boxes an hour, Ibrahin says, but it’s gone as high as 400. Associates are penalized if they fall behind this rate; they can get a write-up from a manager if they are too slow, which can lead to them being terminated.
Ibrahin usually chooses to pray during her timed breaks. “Breaks make our rate slow down, and then we’d be at risk of getting fired, and so most of the time we choose prayer over bathroom, and have learned to balance our bodily needs,” she told me in a recent phone interview.
Ibrahin, who works a 12-hour night shift from 5:30 pm to 6 am, says she’s worked about 20 different jobs since moving to the US as a 16-year-old in 2004. These jobs include working a fishing boat in the middle of the ocean off the coast of Alaska, cleaning Chicago’s O’Hare Airport, and packing at a Target warehouse. Her current job at Amazon, she says, has been her hardest.
“Every time I walk through those doors, I am filled this dread that tonight is going to be the night that I get fired,” she says. “When you take a job at a warehouse, you have to be mentally and physically prepared for a certain kind of work, but I have never felt threatened by a workplace like this before,” she says. “I want to keep this job to provide for my family, and I am also working as hard as I can, but you can’t live under this type of pressure. The way Amazon pushes people is not moral.” (In a statement to Vox, an Amazon spokesperson touted the facility’s “excellent pay” and “comprehensive benefits.”)
Ibrahin says most of the 3,000 workers at the Minneapolis-area warehouse are from the East African immigrant community. On Friday, she will join many of these Amazon employees, as well as the local Minnesota community and politicians such as Representative-elect Ilhan Omar, the first Somali American elected to Congress, to rally outside of the warehouse in protest of Amazon’s work conditions. Several hundred people are expected to attend….
East African immigrant workers have been trying to raise their issues with Amazon for some time. Last month, the New York Times reported that the workers had made history by getting Amazon executives to sit down with them and listen to their complaints.
In response to the meeting, Amazon made changes that mainly dealt with issues around practicing Islam. Muslim Amazon workers had no place to pray in the warehouse, and they complained about not being able to keep up with the job during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, when they fast until sundown. Amazon responded by creating a dedicated prayer space, and said it has been working to make shifts more manageable during Ramadan. But Muse says these moves are like Band-Aids that address small issues without tackling the larger problems.

They reacted by “creating a dedicated prayer space”, like worldwide Muhammadist tyranny is a joke.
It’s time to obligate people to take unjust Muhammadism much more serious.
The Ramadan yearly daytime-fasting is a threat. Unjust Muhammad explained that who doesn’t fast then isn’t a Muhammadist & “can be killed”.
What if a Muhammadist goes to prayer, then comes back & says “I have found enlightenment!” & stabs his co-workers.

At Amazon, during Ramadan, Muslims are allowed to work less because of fasting. They must have some kind of a quota and that is reduced, because of being weak from fasting. That reduction is not extended to non Muslims. So Muslims take it easy and the INFIDELS work harder. Hiring a Muslim is ALWAYS a mistake to be regretted.

Under Sharia Law, a Muslim must fast. In the U.S. we don’ have Sharia Law, right? No fear of being killed.
It’s a back door way of easing in Sharia Law.

The ultimate goal of dawa is to destroy the political institutions of a free society and replace them with strict Sharia. Islamists rely on both violent and nonviolent means to achieve their objectives.

Practically any aspect of Shari’a is oppressive, it doesn’t even have to be strict (e.g. Indonesia, Malaysia, Deabornistan, Canada’s “human rights” tribunals).

No problem, fire them all for being slackers. That’d give them plenty of time to pray. Hopefully on the next plane to the Middle East…

At some point Muslims will want to be paid by Amazon for NOT working and just showing up as Muslims.
Appeasement doesn’t work. Give them an inch and they will take a mile hiding behind Islam.

Off topic – Texas – push back on Shahid Shafi as vice chairman of the Republican Party in Texas’
Tarrant County, and includes Fort Worth. GOP swamp people emerge to protect him. –
ESTABLISHMENT TED CRUZ and Land Commissioner, GEORGE P. BUSH defend Shahid Shafi .
Hugh Fitzgerald: Shahid Shafi’s Texas Morality Tale
DEC 17, 2018 10:00 AM BY HUGH FITZGERALD
….
They argue that Dr. Shafi, who came to the U.S. in 1990 before becoming a surgeon, is unfit because Islam is entwined with political ideology they believe is incompatible with Republican Party positions and American values—a charge Dr. Shafi, party leaders and religious experts reject as prejudice.
Top Texas Republicans including Sen. TED CRUZ and LAND COMMISSIONER GEORGE P.BUSH have DEFENDED Dr. Shafi. And local GOP officials worry the controversy threatens efforts to expand the appeal of their party in Texas’ third most-populous county, part of a rapidly diversifying region that is important to Republicans maintaining statewide power.
…
“There are some people in our party here who are just plain anti-Muslim,” said Tarrant County GOP chairman Darl Easton, who appointed Dr. Shafi to his post. “There are more than I expected there to be.”
Mr. Easton said he felt optimistic the RECALL VOTE , which is set to take place at a party meeting, would fail,
but worried the damage had already been done.
“The vote will be a lot closer than I would like it to be,” he said. “It’s embarrassing this is even coming up.”…
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2018/12/hugh-fitzgerald-shahid-shafis-texas-morality-tale
Dr. Shafi has ALL the wrong associations and PRETENDS to not know what Sharia Law is. Good grief!
In the 1990’s when he came here there were LESS of them here so Muslims had a low profile. Now as there are MORE of them here, they are emboldened. It’s all about the numbers.

Having the big picture, a global outlook on Muhammadist tyranny & clear knowledge on the unjust Muhammad-law, gives us structure & orientation, not the other way around. Approaching Muhammadism from a regional standpoint doesn’t give that orientation.

Some of the non-complaining employees should start charcoal grilling pork chops for lunch, at about 10 AM in the center of the warehouse. The delicious smell will make many of the employees anxious for lunch.

Amazon should post this if they had an ounce of American courage:
“All Muslims who want to pray 5x/day during work hours should move to an Islamic country.
This is a secular society and you have to practice your religion on your own time, not company’s time.
Any questions?–ask the management and we’ll gladly help you book your one way flight to Saudi Arabia or any totalitarian Islamic State of your choosing.”

They just don’t want to work. Make them clock-out every time they want to “pray”. And just like most workers who clock out for lunch, no pay for that time. I don’t see any special privileges being given to any other religion. If that doesn’t work, everyone should take a break at the same time as the mooslimes. Where are the atheists!

It is about time the big tech companies that support sharia implementation took a hit. Soon to follow: musloid employees will refuse to deliver certain products because it is against their cult rules. I refuse to refer to it as a religion, because it is not.

Tell these individuals that they SIGNED papers stating what the rules ARE BEFORE they started working there.
Those that do not show up for work, FIRE THEM.
Those who are not at their work stations for the required times, FIRE THEM!
All this BS is UNCALLED for in America. IF they do not like the work conditions the agreed upon when they are hired, they can QUIT and move back to the “sand-box”.

You pray on your own time. Period.
