Re: still racist
Just a couple of pointers on muslims praying at work.....
Assuming a muslim works a 9 to 5 day. In winter they would pray 3 of the 5 prayers at work(when the days are shorter).
In summer (longer days) then its likely that they would pray a maximum of 2 prayers at work, and then from June July onwards only one. (i.e the afternoon prayer)
Most companies I work for have a multifaith prayer room or quiet room. All the muslims I know who pray at work are not taking breaks all day, or running off at all times of the day to prayer. The afternoon and late afternoon prayers would take a maximum of 5 mins each, and one can definately vbe offered during a lunch break.
Whenever I have prayed at work it has come out of my own time, it doesnt effect my hours worked and thats how it is with all other muslims I know that choose to pray 5 times a day (or at work).
If we compare this to smoking at work, I see a lot of smokers taking adhoc breaks when ever they want. a couple of my colleagues who smoke must take at least 4 5min smoking breaks a day, they also take their hour lunh break and go home on time.
I dont think praying at work is quite the problem (in terms of time) that people seem to mention it is.
