Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Minnesota: Muslim workers at Amazon demand longer prayer times, less work

Dec 15, 2018 1:56 pm By Robert Spencer

Amazon has banned Jihad Watch from Amazon Smile and Amazon Associates, but its aid to jihadis has not led to its being accorded any breaks by its Muslim workers.

“Amazon says it has offered accommodations such as providing prayer mats for workers, converting a conference room into prayer space during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and approving shift transfers for fasting workers.”

But it isn’t enough.

“The workers, many of whom are practicing Muslims, say the required productivity rate is too high, the company is unconcerned about worker injuries and that the conditions don’t allow practicing Muslims to pray as they otherwise would.”

The idea is to reinforce the principle, already established in other cases, that Muslims must always have special privileges and accommodations that others do not have. This is true now at Amazon unless non-Muslim workers get time off work equal to the prayer breaks that Muslims are given. Islamic law denies non-Muslims basic rights; only Muslims enjoy full rights in an Islamic society. To establish a similar situation in the U.S. is the ultimate goal here.

“Somali-American Amazon workers demand better conditions,” by Kerem Yucel and Nova Safo, AFP, December 15, 2018 (thanks to Mark):

A group of Amazon workers in Minnesota who are Somali refugees resettled in the Midwestern US state demanded better working conditions Friday during a protest outside one of the retailer’s warehouses.

Hundreds braved frigid temperatures to demonstrate outside of the Amazon warehouse in the Minneapolis suburb of Shakopee—home to a sizable Somali immigrant population from which Amazon has heavily recruited….

“We don’t have rights in the company,” worker Abdulkadir Ahmad, 30, told AFP.

The workers, many of whom are practicing Muslims, say the required productivity rate is too high, the company is unconcerned about worker injuries and that the conditions don’t allow practicing Muslims to pray as they otherwise would.

“We do not have enough time to pray. There is a lot of pressure. They say your rate is too low,” Ahmad said.

The workers timed their protest during the busy holiday shopping season, hoping to force the online retailer to make changes.

Amazon’s accommodations

They already have had some success. Amazon says it has offered accommodations such as providing prayer mats for workers, converting a conference room into prayer space during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and approving shift transfers for fasting workers.

“Additionally, we’ve continued to hire and develop East African employees. We’re a leader in this space and we feel really good about our record here,” Amazon spokeswoman Shevaun Brown told AFP via email….

But workers say Amazon’s efforts so far have fallen short.

“We are appreciative they’ve sat down and talked with us, but we are not seeing real action,” activist Abdi Muse said.

Muse is the executive director of the Awood Center, a union-backed non-profit that organized the protest and helps East African workers in the state….

“When workers leave Amazon, they still live with the back pain, chronic illness, and hurt and harm caused during their employment,” said Ahmed Anshur, the imam at the Al-Ihsan Islamic Center in the nearby state capital of Saint Paul.

Protesters said they want the multibillion-dollar company to give back to the struggling community that has been a major source of its workforce in the Minneapolis area by giving money to a community fund to help struggling immigrant families.

“It’s not a handout or a donation,” said Mohamed Omar, imam at another Minneapolis suburban mosque….

Of course not. Why, who would think such a thing?

      The Muslim employees taking part in this “protest” are less than a tiny minority of those employed by Amazon. It is too bad that Amazon is getting a black eye in the local press over this – the company has been more than generous, extending privileges of prayer time throughout the day, providing prayer mats and even dedicating a conference room for this purpose. Of course then all other employees are entitled to these favors, so this group has negatively impacted productivity in this way. Again – most of these people employed by Amazon are apparently happy in their jobs there. But it is typical that i a place like Minnesota, riddled with “activists” among these groups, that the entire staff there is implicated and, in fact, used, by these activist elements What business was this of Ihlan Omar’s, for example? This is not her , after all. She is just exploiting these workers. The sad thing is that some of those who would be happy to be left alone in their jobs will be pressured by outside “organizers” like this to participate. The people managing Amazon have bent over backwards to accommodate a workforce they have seen as an asset. Shame on these “organizers” for giving both Amazon AND muslim workers a bad name!

          What’s happening at Amazon doesn’t just affect Amazon – it reflects on the whole state workforce. What company will want to locate in Minnesota knowing this is the kind of workforce they’d be dealing with? Is a company legally required to meet the demands of these workers? That question should be settled in our high court.

      If I took twenty minute breaks at my job two or three times a day, I would be fired. Prayers at work not applicable in a Judeo-Christian workplace. Go Home if you do not want to assimilate . Praying is hot a right but a privilege in the workplace; A perk of Management at the very least.

      Good idea! Also, while we’re at it why don’t all the Christians, Buddhists, Hindus and everyone else of every religion demand prayer time? And sense our children are being Forced to study Islam in school how about bring back Christian prayer time in school while we’re at it?

    There are probably a lot of people who would like to have a job if these moslims don’t want to work.

    They complain that there is not enough time to eat and to prey, so to prey, they must go without food. That is their choice, just as it would be for other employees who wish to go to the bank, home to check on their kids, pets, etc. and have to give up lunch time to do so.
    Companies don’t have to make every requested accommodation, and these are supposed to be requested at the time of hire. If the company can legally say “no,” it should. It’s all about “control”…if not, instead of “protesting” these moslims would be “preying”…since its so important to them.

    Isn’t Amazon moving to another state?

        Islam strictly forbids its followers to have a work ethic.

The second catastrophic mistake was to elect from their number to high political office right next to Canada (ISIS safe haven with lots of trained fighters, a long unguarded border and a recent influx of immigrants into the area immediately north of the border). The stage is set. Now the descent into take-over will be very rapid.

    Amazon will continue to cave. Non-muslim employees will be forced to pick up the slack as part of their expected jobs, and like the good little Amazon serfs that they are, will do so. If a non-muslim complains, he or she will get the sack. It is part of the Amazon business culture. Virtue signalling Jeff Bezos caved on the leftist minimum wage, made his concession sound virtuous, and scrapped his incentive compensation program to pay for it. Hard workers earn less than they used to and now get no more than slackers. Socialism at work!

    I only use Amazon as a last resort, but I do use them. I look forward to the day that competition busts up the Amazon business model. Then I will not even need them as a last resort.

      I NEVER, absolutely NEVER, use amazon. Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and the MSM are all part of the same ultra wealthy parasites that intend to turn is into a Marxist/fascist hybrid. A few extremely large, powerful, and wealthy individuals and corporations essentially tell the politicians what to do. They then make you and I do it. The only reason I use any Microsoft products is due to lack of competition. Gee, I wonder how that happened?

    “Minnesota: Muslim workers at Amazon demand longer prayer times, less work”…….

    What Muslim workers really demand is an audience to their hypocrisy. Imposing their prayer rituals on infidels, and thereby having them acknowledge their piety, awards them points and improves their account in the heavenly bookkeeping.

    This idea of imposition is foundational to Islam. Muhammad was supposed to have brought the requirement to pray down from fifty times to five, when he, after advise from Moses, pleaded with God himself during his fanciful trip to heaven. The story is a plagiarism and a distorted imitation of the story of Moses interceding for Sodom and Gomorrah, but it reveals that prayer to a Muslim is a drudgery he has to put up with, and only if he can impose this nuisance on others and share his misery with them will he find it worthwhile.

And what people are looking forward to is that happy celebration.

          Second: she is saying there is no “dignity” for the moslim to package Christmas presents.
          She wants them not to have to work for others to celebrate Christmas.

    Dec 15, 2018 at 4:28 pm

    Don’t get me started! Oh well, here goes! Some of what I will say I have said before, but I do not apologize. This will not end well.

    1. “It’s not a handout or a donation,” said Mohamed Omar, imam at another Minneapolis suburban mosque….Correct! It is a TAX (Jizya) on infidels to fund the ummah.

    2. Amazon = Either useful idiots or willing facilitators of the destruction of the USA as we once knew it. Profit and greed outweighs patriotism and appreciation for the system that allows such entrepreneurs to prosper.

    3. Atwood Center = Useful leftist idiots that are clueless enough to believe that if they work together with other subversive elements to destroy the USA, they will be organized and armed well enough to crush the other destroyers of liberty. Unfortunately their associates in treachery will quickly take them to chop chop square to ensure there is no competing philosophy or force.

    3. Failure to note what has happened in the US in past civil disturbances will lead to a full blown insurrection that will make 1861 look tame (because it was not present all regions and states). This will be a greater existential threat to the USA than the slavery issue, which was divisive enough. In the past (Rodney King, MLK, 1960’s), I can assure you that the leftist agitators and anarchists were there to stir the pot. What was lacking? A large enough cadre of TRAINED militants (not just a bunch of hot heads with a few guns and Molotov cocktails) with military grade weapons.

    4. Well folks, we now have: Well armed and trained gangs (MS 13, Zetas), Jihad warriors with combat training AND experience, enclaves run by gangs or “other” groups, and a proven history of the PRC sending military grade weapons to gangs. Need I say more? All that is needed is for the right incident to set things going. The hot heads may start it, but I truly suspect that when the time looks right, the order to act will come from someone with military training and experience, and the trained cadres will go to work.

    5. Thanks to PM Trudeau, we now have two insecure, thousand mile or more porous borders, with known gangs and terrorists on each of these.

    6. We now have elected officials that have made it clear that they intend to remove a duly elected president (Pence, you will not be given a green light to preside, either) by ANY means possible. Yes, if DJT and Pence get “removed” we will have President for Life Pelosi.

    7. Russia & China are not our friends, and fat boy is playing DJT like a fiddle to buy time. DJT, wake up and smell the coffee.

    Have a nice day!

    So many features about Islam function as an irritant. One of them is the entitlement mentality it instills in its deluded believers. Another irritant, “courtesy” of Islam, is the narcissism it engenders (hey, no wonder, since Islam’s reputed founder has narcissism written all over his character) so that very few Muslims, if any, can truly comprehend what a pain-in-the ass Islam is to a very large proportion of the rest of humanity (which “rest,” per Islamthink, is the equivalent of human waste—lovely, no?).

    Again I aver that Islam is ready-made for adults who refuse to grow up. Mohammed himself comes to mind here. Yeah, rotten from the outset. Indubitably.

  17. No Muzzies Here says

    Dec 15, 2018 at 5:07 pm

    Minnesota now, soon the rest of the country as the Muslim population expands rapidly.
    We already have a multi-tiered system of privileges in this country, but the Muslim component will rapidly overpower the other tiers and become the dominant one.
    I believe it’s already too late, since the decision makers do not want to admit what I just said.

    • Wellington says

      Dec 15, 2018 at 5:32 pm

      I respectfully disagree that it’s too late.

      First of all, far more people now have a negative view of Islam than just some thirty years ago. This in and of itself is a positive. And the percentage of people in the West who have a negative assessment of Islam will NEVER go down, only up.

      Secondly, why ever give up, why be defeatist? Even if we’re going down due to Islam, why not go down fighting? After all, better dead than a subservient dhimmi.

      Thirdly (and this is related to my first point), with every passing year Islam is exposed for what it truly entails more so than at any other time in history. I submit (not meant in the least in the decrepit, pathetic, Islamic meaning of this word), that Islam will, long term, simply not be able to stand up to scrutiny in the information age in which we live. Sure, so many present leaders in the West like Trudeau, so recently Obama, Pope Francis, Macron, May, Merkel, et al. are pathetic, but they are already practically yesterday’s news. And we should be inspired by Eastern European leaders like Orban of Hungary and Szydlo of Poland who have very well articulated (and also acted upon this articulation) that Islam, to cut to the quick, sucks all around.

      Never, never, never give up. Freedom and truth are very stubborn things and great allies. Neither Islam nor Leftism have anything to do with these two and this in and of itself is inspiring. Indeed, it points the way to victory.

      • Westman says

        Dec 15, 2018 at 10:53 pm

        I agree, Wellington. The information age works in two directions, showing Muslims what can be achieved in the West and informing the unbelievers about the real reason why the Ummah have failed to achieve it. Islam wastes so much human time that subsidy is required to sustain it.

        Note that these complainers are not saying that Amazon expects too much production from all workers; just the Muslim workers who believe they should be subsidized for the requirements of Islam. This is exactly why their former nations were left behind the West. The excuses they make fall flat when compared to Japan which started from zero after WWII and built a manufacturing and technical giant on little to no natural resources – with a unified high work ethic.

        There is no work ethic in Islam, it’s all about worshipping a deity who is so insecure that he must have worship to maintain his ego. No normal high intellect would require worship to secure a sense of value.

        Heartily agree, Wellington, on all counts.

        To your first point – this particular “protest” needs as much in-depth nation-wide publicity as possible, because that will definately increase the number of Americans with a negative view of Islam.

      • thebigW says

        Dec 16, 2018 at 5:10 pm

        Yeah more people in the West are slowly getting a more negative view of Islam, meanwhile millions of Muslims keep pouring into the West and meanwhile the people keep voting in the leaders who are enabling this. Muslims always find another way to ruin a society, if it ain’t through the front door, they’ll find a side entrance of jimmy a basement window while we’re only guarding the front door.

    I wonder if I asked Amazon’s management for more time to pray as a Christian and that I would like a dedicated room. Why do I get the idea that they will show me the door?

    And they will get it as they have been discriminated for being a “poor” Muslim in a country of infidels which they chose to escape to from their “wonderful” Muslim country.

    Give them their pray time have them stay at work for 10. hours, pay them for 8,giving them two hours a day to bang their heads into the floor with their butts in the air, 5 divide into 120 minutes = 24 minutes head banging per pray break . If they forgo their pray time they can work 8 hours and get paid for 8 hours .A better idea is close the plant and move to an area with a lot less Moslem, or better yet why we imported these dangerous , mentality deranged death cult people into our country in the first place. Islam the religion where you can throw a temper tantrum like a 4 year old and the whole world, governments, industrial leaders ,local political leaders, the police ,and most of MSM will kiss your ass, give you their shoulder to cry on ,cave into your demands ,saying what a big brave boy you are. Infantile demands meet that not one in their right mind would grant to a non-Moslem to virtual signal you are not a racist to Islam. Even though Islam is not a race ,it is a violent, murdering ,raping, sadist cult.

      Most, if not all, states have work break laws. A paid 1/2 hr lunch, two short un-paid breaks.

      The 10 hour day would work…make it clear to them no breaks, other than half-hour lunches would be paid, and they had to be at their work for the rest of the 8. If not, make clear they get docked pay for any minute outside the extra 2 hrs they were not working.

      And if they don’t agree, pink slips to free them to not work at all…which is what they want. To not work, and yet, be paid…paid to “prey” and pay for their “community” where they plan terror.

    • revereridesagain says

      Dec 15, 2018 at 10:19 pm

      What WPM said.

      No company should be forced to pay for any employee, of any religion, wishing to pray on company time. If you want to pray, that is your own business and should be done outside of work hours when the only one footing the bill is oneself. To demand that employers pay for such self-indulgence is nothing short of legalized theft.

      The rest of the world puts up with this because one mustn’t deny anyone the “right” to chatter at their gods on someone else’s time. It is an infantile attitude with its success dependent largely on the decibel level of whining and demands coming from the parties demanding special times and spaces be set aside.

  23. Gattamelata says

    Dec 15, 2018 at 10:02 pm

    Catholics need to demand prayer time to pray the Rosary. Jews, Hindus, Buddhists and all others need to demand time also for their prayer needs.

    We do not get paid for lunch hour so they should not get prayer break. They should be required to make up the hours by working later.

    The reason anyone caves to them is fear of them attacking. Islam is about being a terroristic bully.

    Islam is a SUPREMACIST ideology.
    We don’t tolerate the kkk or neo nazis….so why islam? Because everyone is afraid they will bomb and Stab anyone who disagrees with them.

    And sure there are nice Muslims….but how do you know which ones are just Muslim in name only and which ones are practicing taquiyya and planning jihad?

    It is impossible to trust them.

    Islam is a death cult run like a mafia.

      Dec 16, 2018 at 8:08 am

      The so call” nice Moslems” benefit when the “bad Moslems” get them extra benefits on being Moslem , may it be more work breaks, special pray rooms in schools and work place ect..Most Germans in the German army were not running the Nazi death camps during WW11, many seem like nice people out of uniform not armed fighting us. At that time they were all part of an Nazi ideology that was bend on taking over the world. This is a world conquering cult{Islam} were the so call “good Moslems” will support the “bad Moslems” to make us non-Moslems their slaves. The war is being waged in the political area, the court rooms , MSM ,caving in little by little to give Moslems supremacist status over us non-Moslems. Special work breaks, special pray rooms ,the removal of any non-Moslem holiday public display, special money payed to Moslem Mosques in clear violation of separation of church and state, with no over sight on how that money is spend just a blanket clause with the word refugee thrown in. Inch by inch ,any culture , music , art , freedom of speech, any customs, the offend Islam will be out law ,or attacked violently, and what does not offend Islam?

      Yes–that is this story:

      https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/750123/peugeot-car-plant-closed-muslim-prayer-breaks-workers-took-too-many-claims-official

      Either way, Muslims win–either they get the Infidels to cave, or they cause Infidels annoyance and cause them to lose money–no downside for these Muslim supremacists.

    “Protesters said they want the multibillion-dollar company to give back to the struggling community that has been a major source of its workforce in the Minneapolis area by giving money to a community fund to help struggling immigrant families.”

    It would be better for all parties if money was given to a community fund to help struggling immigrant families return to Somalia (with a signed document promising never to go back to a Westeren country).

    After they have returned to Somalia, the taxpayers of Minneapolis could donate some protection money to the families returned to Somalia. This would be far less expensive for the good citizens of Minneapolis than to endure muslims in close proximity.
    Muslim migration is only good for muslim migrants. Never for the hearts and purses of the truly suffering taxpayers, which better stay protected from parasitic migrants.

    This is a true experience… just a few days back… I just ran into this big burly Muslim who owns a shop near my workplace and he was all looking the typical Jehaadi with that monkey cap, ankle high Pyjamas, the white Kurta and of course that savage looking henna dyed Orangutan beard … I just struck up a conversation with him and as usual he was bashing Hindu leaders…Anyways.. I asked him as to why his Muslim leaders only talked about Sharia and never talked about jobs and the economy. He replied that religion was greater than the economy. I them told him that it was unfair to expect Hindus to shoulder the burden of work and taxes while Muslims just prayed.. He replied that Prayer to Allah was very important for peace in society and since Hindus do not pray to Allah, they have to pay a penalty of upkeep (read Jizzia) of Muslims while they prayed. I then asked him what if Hindus refused to pay the upkeep? He pat replied that Allah would get angry and there would be no peace in society.. (read that Muslims will respond with violence if Jizzya was not paid)… I then told him that this was no different than the Jizzia imposed by wicked Muslim rulers on Hindus in our history. At first he refused my analogy, but then he changed the topic cleverly with a smile and rose to leave. And this Muslim was decently educated too.. Is there any hope for non Muslims I wondered!!!!

    [1] Why is one of the demonstrators holding his placard upside-down?

    [2] It is interesting that this demonstration was organized not by a group of employees, nor even by a mosque, but by “the Awood Center, a union-backed [backed by what unions?] non-profit”. See
    http://www.awoodcenter.org/

    [3] Amazon is providing prayer mats? Details, please! Made of what? Cheap gilet-jaune plastic? Tatami bamboo? Woven qat fiber?

    [4] The workers at this warehouse in Shakopee should have a lunchroom with healthful food and drink. It looks like a placard at the back of the demonstration says “Cam-O-Pee for Shakopee!”

    The quintessential Maine company, L.L. Bean, has also caved in to their Muslim “workers’” demands by adding prayer rooms and foot baths. Of course, corporate has its share of tree hugging looney Leftists. Of particular note are the many gay employees there “who don’t know the Sunna from tuna” as Dr. Bill Warner has said about liberals.

    They should have checked before they came into this country that they can’t make there rights superior to our rights. They need to remember who they are working for. they make the rules. If they need to pray during working hours then they should find another line of work.

    “Protesters said they want the multibillion-dollar company to give back to the struggling community that has been a major source of its workforce in the Minneapolis area by giving money to a community fund to help struggling immigrant families.”

    Amazon needs to understand that they didn’t build that. It’s simply not enough that they hired unskilled immigrants and gave them good jobs with regular income and benefits and religious accommodation (after all, we shouldn’t expect folks to pray at home or during their lunch hour – it’s no good unless there is an impact to someone else). After all this, Amazon obviously owes a debt to the community, probably in the billions of dollars. Maybe trillions.

    Typical leftist “logic”.

  43. Kathleen Wallace says

    Dec 16, 2018 at 3:20 pm

    Of course, Muslims are going to make demands of their non-believer overlords (and useful idiots at Amazon). These Muslims don’t really want to work. They would prefer seating on their rears at home and getting paid to do so. They want Amazon to pay the jizya like good little dhimmis. Islam in action.

  44. Manuel 2 Paleologus says

    Dec 16, 2018 at 5:01 pm

    All these muslims/muslimas should be fired! At your work place you do not bring your own religion stuff, you just perform the work you was hired. Do they do the same thing in a muslim country? Heck no! If you are a Christian, you life is done.
    Only in the western countries these muslims shout and demand religious rights. Islamophobia is not hatred against islam, it is a critic and an action to damask the aspects of this cult-islam.
    Amazon should specify from the start when hire someone that his/her religious affiliation or beliefs and any religious demands should be kept outside the work place.
    If they do not like, pit them an a charter plane. I am sick and tire to see our country being bull and trash by these parasites who come here for welfare and for the spread of their idiotic cult.

    “We have meet with Amazon but they’ve done nothing” the muslimes ask for something you better give it to them! They expect to get what they demand you give them. At some point Amazon and all other companies will give in.
    All they need to do is do what the radical gay/tranny groups do = force change or shut them down, everyone always gives in to them and the muslimes will do the same thing.
