To Pray or not to Pray

* the law » civil rights , the law @ 18:21

Thirty Muslims were fired from Dell for praying at sunset. It was a hazard, an inconvenience, and frankly, it just wasn't right. Who would cover them at 7:20 today, 7:18 tomorrow, 6:55 the next day, or 7:05 later? Apparently accomodations for sunset prayer just aren't possible for the computer giant.

Hmmm....so apparently some companies CAN make it work just by being flexible enough. Sounds like Dell didn't make the effort. This will be an interesting case to watch, huh?
