A Sudden Policy Change


A rental car company called Hertz suddenly suspended 34 Somali Muslim shuttle drivers for praying on company time.  The workers said that they were not aware that the policy was changed.  Hertz spokes man said that it wasn’t about getting more money it was about the time limitations at the job and they were not meeting the proper time slots.

Muslims are required to pray at least 5 times a day, at least that’s the observant ones.  What do I have to say about this you may ask?  Well I know one thing if I was in that situation I would just quit.  It’s just like the Christians and asking for Sunday off so you can go to church.  The job just isn’t worth it.

Some of me says hey why can’t they pray and work at the same time.  Well what’s important to me may not be important to you and what’s important to you may not be important to me.  The point I am trying to get across is that each religion has something that is vital to their “faith”.  For Christians we find church very important to our growth; for Muslims it’s prayer although don’t get me wrong Christians use prayer daily as a way to communicate with God.
