#1 A compromise? Tell them they can pray all they want. In Somalia...

#2 They were fired and/or quit. Pack their asses up and deport them back whence they came. They have nothing to do in Nebraska or any other damn place in the US now. We already have an overflow of Muzz cabdrivers in Minneapolis and don't need any in Dallas. These people are trouble. Increasing their polulation here only increases the likelyhood of a "Cologne event" here in the US. We don't want nor need that.

#3 That's, ok. They can all go to work for thatkosher meat processor in Iowa, the one whose illegal workforce was all deported by ICE a few weeks ago. They've been hiring legal Somalis as replacements, and this lot won't need very much training.

#5 Got their asses kicked and now want a hudna. Too bad congress allows refugees to collect welfare.

#6 "Pray later, when you get off shift. Allah is very understanding about these things."

#7 The walk-outs from other employees were Hispanic workers who intensely dislike the Somalis for getting preferential treatment. It could turn violent very easily. We can thank the UN/State for resettling legal Muslim refugees here, on the taxpayers running tab.

#8 "The Muslim group that gathered Sunday decided that their first course of action is to negotiate with company officials to ensure workers' constitutional rights aren't violated."
Can somebody please explain to me what constitutional rights they're talking about? I don't know of these constitutional rights to shut down meat processing lines for prayers or to walk out and still keep your job. Help me with this.
