Hundreds of Muslim workers fired after dispute over prayers

[Mughal-Prince]

KSA is not the face of all muslims..... Thank god for that.

Indeed this face had been created with the help of western powers to implement their agenda which they are doing flawlessly

 

[Sugarcane]

Good decision by management.

 

[Icewolf]

Dramabaazi to the max !

If they want, they can pray 100 times a day but there are life necessities too.
and as i said, It can be forgiven if theres something important you had to do in that time. If thats not the case, then well...

its probably right to question extreme views of muslims nowadays, no?

You seems false flager, because your info about daily prayer is wrong.

@Horus @WebMaster please clear this thread from post spreading wrong info about Islam and look into people who are spreading it.

"Prayer is our first priority," Hamza Hussein, one of the employee said.

If prayer was their first priority then they shouldn’t have migrated to a secular western country, they should have remained in Somalia (most of them are from Somalia).

Bunch of hypocrite liars!

 

[Adecypher]

IMO it does not take more than 10 minutes to at least finish the farz rakats of Duhr, Asr and Maghrib (which comes during work hours) respectively but again it depends which surahs one select after Surah Fatiha etc.

 

[jamahir]

Isn't feeding their families more important?

that is so.

Anyway it is actually necessary to pray 5 times a day? I have known some Muslims and they definitely did not pray 5 times a day.

i have not prayed in many years and yet my fingernail is more islami than all the talibanis, ikhwaanis, tableeghis, fsa, ntc, qaeda and anjem choudary's boys and girls put together.

good they can go home and pray 24/7 now

that is what happened to the "muslim" employees of ibm-india in 2014... some years ago, probably in 2009 or 2010, the tableegh jamaat idiots in ibm's two offices in bangalore city ( south india ) created lot of noise demanding that the offices allow the "muslim" employees ( and muslimahs too probably ) to pray in their work areas... the tableeghis did not consider that they would be disturbing other employees and making non-muslims hate islam.

what these tableeghi idiots should have rather done is to have said "to hell with tableeghi jamaat" and to have started a employee union, which doesn't exist in the indian it/services industry, despite their parent company, ibm, having this facility in usa... a employee union is most essential to secure the rights of workers in a capitalist system such as india.

i don't know if the prayer facility was allowed by ibm-bangalore but what happened in february 2014 was a sudden and ruthless dismissal by ibm of 50,000+ ibm-india employees, most of them in bangalore.. now, if the muslim employees of ibm had looked at the socialism of islam and instead of prayer fanaticism if they had been the leaders in creating a employee union for all employees of ibm-india, the injustice in the dismissal procedure would not have existed and they would have been cheered as the initiators of the first employee union in indian it/services industry, but ignorants they were so they continued their prayer fanaticism until february 2014.

it is safe to say that the muslims and muslimahs in ibm-bangalore offices were among that huge number removed... their prayers did not come of use to them.

You seems false flager, because your info about daily prayer is wrong.

@Horus @WebMaster please clear this thread from post spreading wrong info about Islam and look into people who are spreading it.

please stop embarrassing muslims.

and do read what i wrote above.

But Tony Aden says missing even one of those prayers over a break time dispute caused him and many others to walk away from their jobs.

"It don't matter if I don't have a job, my religion is more important," Aden told CBS News.

okay, tony bhai jaan, get your prayers to feed you, because you have not built a socialist welfare state where without a salaried employment you can get by.

KSA is not the face of all muslims..... Thank god for that.

@DesiGuy , a indian emigre or of indian-origin, is trolling or trying to get more replies into his thread.

I m not embarrassing Muslims, I m telling what is right.

If one don't fulfil his obligation of praying 5 times a day it does not mean he is allowed to create false interpretation about 5 times prayer a day. Namaz (prayers) is one of 5 pillars of Islam and its mandatory too, even if one is sick.

I m not talking about peoples act, who left jobs due to prayer break issue. They could have prayed in lunch time or offer Qada prayer.

they can come to india... they have a selection of 300,000+ mosques here.

 

[Providence]

The news article only presents a half account of both sides it seems.

 

[AtiF Malang]

I think its the west who is always bitching for human rights freedom of speach and thousands of other rights and freedoms etc

 

[RabzonKhan]

I think your country’s plate is already full with troublemaker like these.

 

[marbella]

these somalians got the wrong flight.. they wanted to go to ksa but landed at usa. c'mon , millions of muslims work around the world without any problem with prayer hours. seems like only muslims are those 200 workers and ppl from imb banglor.

does the quran talk about five-prayers-day and does it describe the manner of prayer??

as far as i know, no on both things.

i believe the five prayers comes from zoroastrian religion which indirectly influenced some of the hadith writers, especially the persian, bukhari... and it is from the hadith books ( don't know which one and don't care ) that five prayers originates.

we must accept something from the hadith works ( and there are many ) only if it agrees with common sense and reject it otherwise.

besides, you did not respond to my point of the ibm-bangalore muslims and muslimahs not benefiting from establishing or talking of establishing a prayer culture in their offices.

and what can you tell me about the demolition of buildings in the nepal earthquake of 2015??

I m not talking about peoples act, who left jobs due to prayer break issue. They could have prayed in lunch time or offer Qada prayer.

yes, that they could.

Nobody cares besides Indian OP.
