Dozens of Muslim employees at a Wisconsin manufacturer say they are now out of a job after the company changed its prayer-on-the-job policy.
Brillion-based Ariens Company changed the policy Thursday. Until then, Muslim employees were allowed to leave the production line twice a shift to pray two of their five daily required prayers. Workers would pray five minutes at a time, designating their duties to colleagues while they prayed.

allowing them time for prayer was like giving them extra breaks simply because of there religion and that's just not right. either you have to give everyone the extra breaks or NO ONE.

I have worked for several years with hundreds of Muslims in predominately Muslim counties. The vast majority of them are not rigid, or black and white, when it comes to having 5 prayers a day. The armies in the Muslim country where I have been do not give their soldiers 5 payer breaks a day. They go to prayer in the morning, around lunch time, and in the evening. It is their official policy, and no one seems to mind. So, I see no need to bend over backwards with special concessions when they don't even get them in their home countries, Muslim countries.

Oh wel SGT (Join to see). And I wanted to leave my job twice a day so I can go say my Hail Mary's. I would have been in the unemployment line too!
