Prayer Breaks At Work
"In a landmark settlement that could change the way Muslims are treated in the workplace, St. Cloud-based Gold'n Plump Inc. has agreed to allow Somali workers short prayer breaks and the right to refuse handling pork at its poultry processing facilities," writes Chris Serres for the Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune.
This seems like "reasonable and practical accommodation," says Robert Spencer, but "...when Islamic practices and American practices conflict, the American practices have to be the ones that give way. As this continues, it will cause increasing tension in the workplace and in society at large."
