Tyson Foods Drops Labor Day Adds Muslim Holiday

I am pasting a link below to an article in today's Tennessean newspaper in Nashville.

Tyson Foods is dropping Labor Day as a paid Holiday and adding a Muslim Holiday as one.

Arghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Incredible that a company is making a religous Holiday a paid Holiday when that religion represents less than one half of one percent of the population of the USA.

That would be like making the first night of the UPC General Conference a paid Holiday at some large Corporation because a handful of UPC people work for them.

What you are failing to realize is that this is just at the Shelbyville plant and at that plant the muslims represent 700 out of 1200 employees. Sept 1 or Oct. 1.... I am sure the heathens (formerly called Christians or Agnostics or Atheists) are just as pleased as punch to have the one day off as the other.

Why would this be a problem? Pagan celebrations are already found on most “Christian” calendars. They just renamed them “Christmas” and “Easter.”

Uh....the discussion is not about Holidays found on "Christian" calenders but about American Employees pandering to this particular World religion. Christmas is not even really considered a Christian Holiday anyways. It's really a secular Holiday, they even celebrate it in Japan. It's trendy.

Ive been screaming about this for a couple years. Muslims in this nation are growing numerically but they already have large lobbying groups. They got their equivalent of the ACLU and the NAACP. Just like the small gay community has a LARGE and powerful agenda driven activist group so do the Muslims. People need to wake up or American will be looking like Britain and the rest of Europe and eventually Lebanon

Exactly.

Also don't forget that Islam is being pushed in a huge way by Saudi Arabian oil money.

Ironically much of the money we spend at the gas pump is coming back to America both in the form of Arab ownership of much of our major commercial real estate but also in the form of Islamic "evangelism".

I read in some major credible publication sometime in the last year that Saudi Arabis is spending millions upon millions of dollars to promote their version of Islam (which coindently is one of the most conservative and radical) in America.

Big time Saudi money and I would not be surprised if Iranian money is making it in somehow.

Wahabi is the most conservative and the one that supports Sharia

How about this?

NEW YORK — A Muslim group, in collaboration with a Brooklyn imam once investigated as a possible co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, paid $48,000 to run Islamic advertisements on the city's subway cars this September.

But the effort to plaster 1,000 subway cars with pro-Islamic messages has given new life to the controversy that has surrounded the radical imam, Siraj Wahhaj, who is promoting the campaign.

"In time, this so-called democracy will crumble, and there will be nothing, and the only thing that will remain will be Islam," Wahhaj was quoted as saying in one of his sermons.
