Tyson replaces Labor Day with Muslim Eid al-Fitr

A Labor Day parade from the early 1900s

What?

On WorldNetDaily I found this article that starts off stating that "Food workers at the Shelbyville, Tenn., plant for Tyson Foods, which boasts on its corporate website that it strives "to honor God," will have time off for Eid al-Fitr, the Muslim holiday closing the month of Ramadan, instead of the American tradition Labor Day."

Take note: out of a 1,200 work force at the plant, Muslims represent 700 in number. This should have been expected since it appears that whenever Muslim numbers reach 40% and over, they feel quite comfortable in making Islamic demands.

Read how it happened here.
