30 Muslim workers fired for praying on job at Dell

Nashville (Dhimmi Watch) -- Anti-dhimmitude at Dell. Why? Well, it would be perfectly clear to everyone that a Christian who left his work station during work hours to go to church should be held responsible. This is not a question of the infringement of rights unless these employees had arranged with Dell for a work schedule that included time off for prayers, and then Dell reneged. But I doubt that was the case. Otherwise, they contracted with Dell to be on the job from a certain hour to another, and they should hold up their end of the deal.

Work or pray.

Faced with that difficult decision, Abdi H. Nuur removed his employee badge and walked away last month from his forklift driver's job at Dell Computer's Nashville plant. He and 29 other Somali Muslims say they were forced to choose between their faith and their employment.

Now the Metro Human Relations Commission is trying to intervene in a
confrontation that pits American-style production quotas against Islam's requirement that its adherents pray daily when the sun sets.

"They told us that we cannot pray at sunset," Nuur said. "They told us that we would have to wait for our break."
