i am absolutely sick and tired of hearing about this muslim problem. if they want to pray at certain times, they should start their own business. i wish the independent would quit covering this crap.
Somalie;s are a very aggressive people and want to push thier right to pray as muslims on the rest ot the work force at Swift.
The only reason the USA has worked in the past, is because it used to be a melting pot, people gave up their national and regligious identities in public and the work force to make this country work.
These people want to push us around and get special treatment not given to any other group. If they don’t like our rules find another job or better yet go back to where they came from, maybe they will like it better there.
I think solutions could be arrived if everyone wouldn’t get their
panties/shorts in a bunch! Walk in everyone’s shoes before you think you know what it going on. the Kearney Hub stated non Muslims walked off the job as well, but they evidently weren’t fired. HHMMM. and we talk about preferential treatment. I think people feel threatened by the Muslim faith. I am a Christian and I am NOT. I believe it is every person’s responsiblity to learn as much about other cultures and remain unbiased until you have all the facts. Think about understanding instead of bashing. You may be tired about all the talk, and news, then look for solutions. I mean solutions other than send them back to where they came from. Do you even know why they are here to begin with? I doubt it. And I bet you love your beef. Anyway, I highly respect someone who will walk the talk and they do. Perhaps as Christians if we put our faith and God above all else we would not have had this problem ever. Think about it.
