Are employers required to grant Muslim employees prayer breaks?

[Midnight Writer]

13. Actually, I worked in a place that did allow Prayer breaks and Bible study groups on company time

This was an RR Donnelly printing plant. We had several employees that were fundamentalist Christians (mostly members of a single extended family; aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.) and very outspoken about their Constitutional rights to worship in the workplace. Supervisors were scared to death that they would have a complaint filed against them for violating the religious freedom of these folk.

The scheduled breaks were honestly no big deal. The problems came when we had a particularly dirty or physically tough job, and some (not all) of these folks would suddenly be moved by The Lord, Our God and Savior Jesus Christ, to leave the workroom floor and pray or study their Bible. However, in the 18 years I worked there, I never once saw any of these people disciplined, let alone lose their jobs as these Muslims apparently did.
