Right now, my company is having the "Holiday Luncheon" - nothing religious at all, just fried chicken, mac n cheese and lots of desserts in the very small break room. More for "team building" than anything else, no mention of Christmas, just fun for the employees...

Two muslim guys are just sitting right in the middle of it all, not participating. Eating their ground up chick pea gruel, so everyone has to side-step around them to get to the goodies...

I know that when my folks immigrated to Detroit many, many years ago from the Old Country, they did all they could to assimilate into the local culture and did not expect anyone to side step around them...

Chick pea gruel, no wonder they're pissed off all the time.

tell them to move if they dont want to be part of if because they are just wasting space and making it hard for everyone else to get to the good stuff. I guess i'm lucky, we have one Asian i call my Asian buddy, very smart guy, we get along great. And we have one black guy that is a riot to be around. Closest thing we have to a muslim is a jehovahs whitness, great guy but does not particapate in any holiday gatherings.

The least the company could have done was to supply halal fried chicken. How insensitive of them.
Those poor guys are feeling discriminated against. Shame on your evil company. Effin' infidels.

Buy them Christmas presents.  Like a pair of sox.  And wish them a merry Christmas.

Tell them if they want to wish you happy Ramadan, your OK with that.

Yeah, I'd be cool with that. Ramadan, Hanukkah,  Christmas...

Not sure how they would take it, though, buying a pair of sox. Might just piss them off,
getting only one sock each...  2funny

If they wouldn't git out of the way after being asked "nicely" then they should have been TOLD to git out of the way. 2 f them versus how MANY of ya'll. Probably looking for the excuse to shout persecution BUT I might be wrong!  Roll Eyes I am noticing the older I git the less tolerant I are. RIDE SAFE.
