Muslim Woman Sues Virginia Company, Claims Prayer Breaks Kept Her From Getting Hired
Mike Vance
December 7, 2019

A Muslim woman is suing a company in northern Virginia. She claims that the company was set to her her until she asked for prayer breaks during her work day.

In a federal lawsuit filed in Alexandria, Shahin Indorewala claims that she applied for a junior management position at Fast Track Management Inc. last September. During her second interview an assistant manager took things as far as explaining what her break schedule would be like with the job.

“I said, ‘That’s kind of a long lunch break, but is it possible for me to take a shorter lunch break and instead take five minutes throughout the day to pray,’ ” Indorewala said to reporters outside of Fast Track Management’s offices.

Can any of you even begin to imagine the outrage by the press and the left if some Christian insisted on prayer breaks at work?
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!

Christians can pray wherever they are, without making a big production of it. No rugs needed.

 My employers have never had a clue that I ever might have prayed on the job - because I didn't make freakin' unreasonable demands about it.
The abnormal is not the normal just because it is prevalent.

Ok,try telling them you need time to form prayer circles to pray for sick and injured family and friends,and see how well that works out for you.

Why would I do that at work?

I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

@mountaineer

Because prayer at work is what we are discussing.

If I wanted other like-minded coworkers to join me in prayer, I'd just say, "Hey, could you pray for ___? Thanks." I sure as heck wouldn't demand the employer gave us time off and a place to hold a prayer circle!  :laugh:  But, as we all know, what seems like normal behavior to us doesn't fit the Islamo pattern of unreasonable demands.

  • The problem with everything is they try and make it better without realizing the old way is fine.

If I was in charge of hiring I would never hire a women (of childbearing age) or any muslum. 
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.
