Muslim Amazon Workers Protest Claiming Not Enough Prayer Time

By Steve Straub at The Federalist Papers

Muslim Amazon workers in Minneapolis are protesting because they claim the company is not giving them enough time to pray, the Daily Mail reports:

All workers are required to meet strict packing quotas of 240 boxes an hour but the performance of practicing Muslims is affected because they are required to pray five times a day.

Amazon has refuted the claims saying the workers were given a paid prayer break of less than 20 minutes but would be allowed to take unpaid prayer breaks for longer.

Nuts!

My faith asks me to “pray without ceasing” but should the company be mandated to provide this time?

Of course not.

Liberals like to claim the USA is not a Christian country.

Well its not a Muslim country either.

In addition, these protests are after Amazon already tried to make accommodations:

Muslims working for Amazon in Minneapolis say they fear being fired from the distribution center after taking breaks to pray.

All workers are required to meet strict packing quotas of 240 boxes an hour but the performance of practicing Muslims is affected because they are required to pray five times a day.

Amazon has refuted the claims saying the workers were given a paid prayer break of less than 20 minutes but would be allowed to take unpaid prayer breaks for longer.

Are Christians and Jewish people also being given paid prayer breaks and additional unpaid prayer breaks?

My guess, no.

Amazon, being run by Seattle liberals has already partially caved.

They’re now offering to lower productivity rates to accommodate the unpaid additional prayer breaks.

Non-Muslims within the company should immediately sue for discrimination.

Unbelievable!
