Here's a bit of advice for the idiot, imbicile infidels among us during this special time...
"...it's important for non-Muslims in the workplace to recognize that their Muslim co-workers are in the middle of the most important month of the year. A little goodwill now, she says, can go a long way to help work relations the rest of the year."
Does that sound like a threat to you?"Part of that means allowing for longer lunches on Fridays, the most important day of prayer.""Shirazi says Muslims could be out of the workplace for longer than their normal lunch break. Although Toronto has several mosques, it can take 30 to 40 minutes for many Muslims to get to one from their workplace. Add in an hour to attend the prayers and travel time back."
"Don't look at it as if your co-workers are skipping out, Shirazi advises. "The mosques are packed.""Many Muslims will start work early on a Friday, skip lunch Thursday, or stay late to make up the time needed to go to Friday prayers."Shirazi urges employers to talk to non-Muslim workers to ensure there are no hard feelings. If handled well, the added accommodation can boost staff morale by showing that the employer is open to workers' needs. Handled badly, he warns, it can just add tension."So, let's review The Idiot Kufar's Workplace Guide to Ramadan:
1. Give extra long lunches for prayers.
2. Don't deduct that time.3. Don't dare insinuate that anyone is getting a free ride (could cause resentment)
4. Don't add to tensions by suggesting time be made up.
5. Avoid meetings with food, you dumbass infidels. Everyone will fast for Ramadan.
And remember the last word:
"This issue is not going away," Shirazi says. "It's increasing. This is the reality of the Canadian workforce."
Read it. Believe it.
