The female version of Donald Trump....
Question: What is the Muslim population doing to correct bad press? I never hear much about their religious leaders speaking out to counter the negativity towards the religion....or maybe it just doesn't sell news?
if you google something like 'Muslims speak out' you certainly won't find much - at least in AUS. And probably for a few reasons, but the main one would be that extremist views sell papers. You only have to read this article from 2 years ago ...

......Live like us or leave.
I've actually had to 'unfollow' all but my family on FB now...I was getting too many racist reposts...I got sick of defending the refugees, gun violence victims and environmentalists....I'm much calmer now. I've just got to block myself from ASF political threads and I'll be forever at peace.

I thoroughly support Joe in removing unattributed rants that degrade this fine forum.
A lot of them are fantasy, distortions, paranoia and just plain filth.
Of course that doesn't stop re-postings from Larry Pickering which are all of the above,but at least we know where it comes from.
Ummm.....FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!!!!!!!!!......Don't you love it?...That is until somebody does not like the truth.

My full support: we can always add a link for people interested in either the facts or teh concept behindFrom my perspective this is an issue of quality of information. If people wish to discuss hypotheticals then that is fine, but if the discussion is in relation to actual events then it is critical that the facts of what actually transpired are established. In order to do that, sources must be cited. The internet is awash with false and misleading information because political agenda pushing, on both the left and the right, is more important to some than what actually occurred.
I would hope that at ASF the focus would be on facts first and ideology second. I think that is the only reasonable way to have a constructive discussion concerning real world events. In terms of the level of debate, I would rather try and raise the bar than lower it.
FINALLY SOMEONE STANDS UP TO THEM!!
Cargill meat plant fires 150 Muslims
Pray rather than work...
Here's another example of how Islam is not compatible with a modern civilized
society. Muslim workers walked off the job at a Colorado meat processing
plant because they demanded more accommodations for their multiple daily
prayer sessions. In a move that is sure to send liberals through the roof,
the company fired the Muslim employees who refused to work.
The Denver Post reports that around 200 Muslim workers, most of them Somali refugees,
walked off their jobs at Cargill Meat Solutions in Fort Morgan, CO ten days ago.
Their beef (pun intended): the company wouldn't let them take several
10-minute prayer breaks per day.
The problem is, the meat processing plant is an assembly line and when a couple
of hundred employees abandon their posts to pray to Allah, the whole
operation shuts down. Now try to image that happening 4 or 5 times every
day. The company had been allowing the Muslims prayer schedule and even
provided them with a prayer room, but changed policy recently because it was
killing productivity.
Keep in mind that the Muslim workers were allowed to pray during their mandated breaks
and lunches.
Oh, and the job starts out at $14 an hour with more experienced workers
making much more.
Apparently none of this was good enough and so the Muslims staged a walk out.
Though these Muslim workers are Teamsters, the union didn't want to have
anything to do with this ridiculous strike so the Council on American-Islamic
Relations (CAIR) stepped in to negotiate.
They feel missing their prayer is worse than losing their job. It's like losing a
blessing from God, said CAIR executive director Jaylani Hussein.
Cargill told the Muslim employees to either return to work or find another job.
About 50 of them took this seriously and came back, while 150 or so did not.
On Tuesday, the company fired the 150 who felt praying was more important
than providing for their families.
And guess what....The fired Muslims now suddenly want to come back to work under the
conditions they previously thought were unbearable. The company called their
bluff and now they are out of luck. Cargill has a policy that any employee
that is fired may not reapply for a job for six months.
I applaud the company for this mass firing. These Muslims had good paying jobs that
complied with all US labour laws, but they wanted special treatment that
would cost Cargill money in lost productivity. If their religion doesn't
comply with normal American employment, they shouldn't even be in this
country.
This is a common theme with Muslims in the US. They demand special food, special
dress code exemptions, special prayer spaces funded by others, and special prayer breaks.
No one forced them to move here. They should assimilate to our way of doing things instead of us bending over
backwards to accommodate them.
I have a feeling this story is just beginning, as Muslims are the politician's new protected class of people.
I hope Donald Trump is the next President of the USA and stands up to the Islamic movement better than Obama has.
Lets hope Pauline Hanson can do the same thing in Australia to pull the Islamic movement into line with rest of true Australians....They can forget about trying to change us to their ways...They are in our country as guests and they should be grateful for has been done for them......Live like us or leave.
Dam Muslims wanting to take breaks to pray? These meat guys won't even let other real American (and Latino) workers off to take a wee.
I thought Obama has done a few bang up jobs against terrorists noco - ever increasing droning of "suspect" (and surroundings), ever increasing expansion in the ME. But true, he hasn't taken on all Muslims though.
Trump will take on about 1/7th of the world's people; then continue against the Russian and the Chinese; then Mother Nature. Wow man, talk about bring down the house.
