Recently I posted regarding Daniel Pipes’ comments on how Muslims in Western nations are demanding special privileges.
Can you imagine going up to your boss and saying, “My religion requires me to stop working and pray 5 times every day, including once for 20-to-30 minutes at sunset?” You and I would get laughed at if we tried that.
But Muslims just demanded that of Dell Computer. And—threatened by CAIR with a lawsuit—Dell caved.
You read that right. If you’re a Muslim at Dell, you get to take 5 breaks from work a day, while your fellow workers have to scramble and cover for you—including a 20-to-30 minute break at sunset. This is on an assembly line.
Not Jews. Not Christians. Not anybody else. Just Muslims. If it screws up the workplace, so what.
Muslims have demanded and gotten special treatment, different from those of other religions.
It’s like they demanded that we show prejudice to all non-Muslim religions—and Dell agreed to do it.
From CAIR’s own web site:
(WASHINGTON, D.C., 3/17/05) – A prominent national Islamic civil rights and advocacy group today announced that Muslim contract employees at a Dell Inc. plant in Nashville, Tenn., have reached a settlement on issues related to a recent dispute over prayer in the workplace.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said the 31 Muslim employees, who left work last month in a disagreement over Islamic prayers, will be reinstated, receive back pay and be granted continued religious accommodation. Managers will also receive additional training on existing religious accommodation policies and practices. Other terms of the settlement will not be made public.
Announcement of the settlement came following a meeting today between representatives of CAIR, Dell, the Muslim workers, the Nashville Metro Human Relations Commission, and Spherion Corp., the company that provided the workers to Dell. (In a meeting on Saturday, most of the Muslim workers retained CAIR as their legal counsel.)
From a prior article in the Washington Post:
Islam’s five daily prayers only take a few minutes, and most can take place within a span of a few hours. The daily devotion at sunset, however, must be completed within a 20- to 30-minute window. This is the prayer that sparked the conflict at the Dell plant.
Folks, this is the jihad. This is Muslims demanding special privileges for themselves, privileges only Muslims get, because they are taught that their religion is superior to all others, and that they should be privileged above those of other religions.
Look at how it changes the way of life at Dell. Your boss needs you to stay on the line? You will in order to get the job done and make the company a success, but a Muslim co-worker can tell him to stuff it because Muslims get special treatment.
Privileging those of one religion above others is un-American. We need to shut this down.
It’s the jihad, and Dell just caved.
Dell needs our support so that they can stand up to this extortion. All American companies will need our support to stand up to it in the future, because Dell is just the beginning.
Interested parties can contact Dell to show our support in their efforts to stand up against the un-American demands of special treatment for Muslims. Here’s the contact info:
