In reply to the discussion: How many muslims do you know personally? [View all]LeftinOH
(5,646 posts)And it went like this:
One was in big-box retail. I was in management, and the muslim gentleman was from Iran (originally). He would not take any orders from a woman in management. He had to be told what needed to be done from a male supervisor.
One was in an office environment. The muslim gentleman was (originally) from Tunisia. He often took "prayer breaks"..and utilized his prayer carpet to do it. A trifle irritating for those of us who didn't get prayer breaks. He also made it clear that he didn't care for the "skimpy" clothing that some of the women wore. Though he was fond of going to strip-joints.
In another office environment, the muslim gentleman was an American who to converted to Islam when he was in prison. He had at least two illigitimate children and "struggled" to support them. "Supporting" those children couldn't have been too taxing, as he didn't buy Christmas presents (due to his religion).. or any other gifts, for that matter. Ever.
I was not impressed. At all.
