Two stories that go in the Muslim Watch category: CAIR filed an EEOC complaint against Abercrombie and Fitch AND Tyson Foods no longer offers Labor Day as a holiday, but instead offers a Muslim holiday in the fall at its Tennessee plant!
CAIR versus Abercrombie and Fitch (A&F):
From Breitbart(hat tip to Michelle Malkin):
The Oklahoma chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-OK) announced today that it has filed an EEOC complaint on behalf of a Muslim woman who was allegedly denied employment at an Abercrombie Kids store in that state because of the applicant’s religiously-mandated headscarf, or hijab.
The woman told CAIR-OK that a district manager claimed he could not hire her because her Islamic headscarf “does not fit the Abercrombie image.”
If you think this was just an innocent Muslim girl trying to get a job….then I have some land in Afghanistan to sell you. I am no fan of A&F, but I think they have the right to hire for the needs of the business. But this isn’t really about that anyway…this is about CAIR pushing the Sharia agenda on America!
Want to know a little about one of the co-founders of CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations)? According to the website Anti-CAIR, this is what Omar Ahmad, the Co-Founder said:
“Those who stay in America should be open to society without melting, keeping Mosques open so anyone can come and learn about Islam. If you choose to live here, you have a responsibility to deliver the message of Islam … Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faiths, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.”
Look at me with a straight face and tell me that CAIR doesn’t have an agenda?….It is interesting that most of these types of stories don’t make the news, but they are happening in the heartland of America…..
We can’t let our guard down with these radical, Western-hating, dangerous nutcases.
Tyson says No Labor Day Holiday:
Workers at Tyson Foods’ poultry processing plant in Shelbyville will no longer have a paid day off on Labor Day, but will instead take the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr in the fall.
A recent press release from the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU) stated that a new contract at the Shelbyville facility “implements a new holiday to accommodate the … Muslim workers at the plant.”
The RWDSU stated that “the five-year contract creates an additional paid holiday, Iidal Fitil, a Muslim holiday that occurs toward the end of Ramadan.”
Eid al-Fitr falls on Oct. 1 this year.
Debbie Schlussel is keyed in on this story. (If you haven’t read a lot of her blog, do so…she has one-of-a-kind information on the issues of Dhimmitude, Sharia-creep, and Islamic actions in America.)
But the holiday is not the only troubling picture at Tyson…..from Schlussel’s blog:
The union also claimed that in addition to the observance of the Muslim holiday, “two prayer rooms have been created to allow Muslim workers to pray twice a day and return to work without leaving the plant.”
Mickelson said that Shelbyville’s Tyson plant “does have a prayer room to accommodate the needs of Muslim Team Members.”
“In addition to regular, non-paid breaks, all Team Members are allotted a seven-minute paid break,” the Tyson spokesman said. “Some Team Members choose to pray during this time.”
Just let that image sink into your brain…this is happening in America, in the South, no less!
This troubles me on many levels. Just the sheer thought that one of the biggest companies in America has slipped into such a Dhimmi status that the Islamic religion trumps all others…..I wonder if they plan to provide Bibles for Christians to read for 15 minutes a day while being paid or maybe rosary beads for every Catholic….
I mean when did Tennesse gain such a large Muslim population? and why? They’ve had a large Christian population for 200 years….why the special accomodations for religion now?
Schlussel said it best:
It’s ironic: a union giving up a paid national holiday tribute to labor and replacing it with a holiday honoring the most repressive and regressive religion on contemporary earth.
The United Dhimmi States of America. Tyson Foods is just a drop in the bucket compared to what we’re gonna see.

I passed on buying Tyson chicken today when I bought my groceries.
Well done, KDW!
We are (or were!) a Christian nation founded upon principles of Christianity by people seeking freedom from religious persecution of their Christian beliefs. Why are we allowing ourselves to be overtaken by a non-Christian religious following, still very much a minority in this country? We Christians stood by and allowed the demise of prayer in our schools (see the resulting moral chaos!); are we going to stand idly by and see the proliferation of Muslim customs and holidays usurping Christian customs and holidays? It’s happening right before our eyes! Wake up, America!
We are going to be a nation without all the hard earned rights that our forefathers fought for and end up in a country run by the fanatics of other countrys. Wake up North America. Start by you must learn english and follow the rules of our land if you want the right to live here. You will not have the right to change laws that where put in place for the benifit of the settlers of this country. If that is not to your liking stay home and change your own laws..
I will never buy tysons again if this is what they are doing.. let the muslims live in their own country if they don’t like the things of the usa.. they want their cake and eat it too..
I agree, boycott Tyson foods. Wish we could boycott oil too.
