None of this nonsense is via legislation, it's all from regulation or through the courts.



Craig, that's your quote. "Regulation or through the courts" = resolved. And Muslims working an 8 hour shift don't need 5 prayer breaks per day. The 5 prayers would cover the entire day. The dispute was that they were taking 3 breaks when the company only authorizes 2. No regulation or court ruling imposed. And according to the most recent report I could find, it's still not resolved. By the way, the company fired several Muslims who wouldn't abide by Ariens' break schedule.

As for Hamtramck, when I looked into that one, a whole lot of BS out there. I read one published source that said the city council was 100% Muslim. Nope. It is majority Muslim, 4-2, but that does not equal 100%.

With all this Muslim stuff, it's always good to take a really hard look. I found another source that said sharia was imposed in Dearborn, MI 3 years ago. They were going to stone women for adultery and ban alcohol. Except none of it was true. Again, from a published source--not just some individual's post in response to an article or on a BB. But there are so many people who want to believe all the sharia/Muslim bogeyman stuff--or want to promote it--that you'll find stuff like that all the time. At which point you need to look harder.

The problem with the Internet is it results in lazy research. Or "research" that consists of looking until you find something that lines up with your world view. "See, look what I found on the Internet!" I liked it better when all the tinfoil hat stuff was in the Inquirer and the other supermarket tabloids.
