LJRENEGADE 06/07/18 7:00:27 PM #87:	Webmaster4531 posted... So there are limits to religious freedom? No one is stopping them from fasting and no one is violating their religious freedom. Whether you believe the company should accommodate them on this or you believe the opposite, not allowing them to exercise their religion and simply not accommodating their religion are not the same thing. They're allowed to fast, but because of that, they're going to be dehydrated because its a strenuous physical job. There's just no way around that. If you don't drink water and you do a lot of physical work, especially in the heat, you'll probably become dehydrated. I mean I get it, they're just following their religion and want to minimize the problems they have at work, I'm not against the company helping them out there. But I don't think their religious rights are being violated here. ImTheMacheteGuy posted... LJRENEGADE posted... ImTheMacheteGuy posted... Ramadan fasting includes water? Wtf. That's ridiculous. How are Muslims supposed to not die? iirc, each night, there's a specific time they're allowed to eat and all. Its called Itfar or Iftar I think. They are allowed to eat during Ramadan, just only at specific times of the day. Ah okay. Still, water should be an exception. It's water. Yeah, its strict, and I know a few people whose bodies don't handle the diet change so well. <cite>LJRENEGADE posted [p:902734890] in Minnesota ...
