People discriminate against people for all sorts of reasons but most don't get protection written into laws. Good luck trying to prove someone had not got a job based on discrimination. It could just as easily be claimed someone had got the job based on 'positive discrimination, or based on fear of being accused of discrimination which is not he way we should go. People should get jobs based on merit and nothing else. If you have 'hired a few' you should be aware of the issues with prayer breaks - I suggest you read up on it.

Hate seems to be a word you have a lot of affinity with so maybe a bit of self-reflection would be the way to go.

Weak parroted jibes from a racist will never offend me.

Protections are there for everyone, Brillo. If you knew the first thing you were talking about when it came to discrimination laws then you would understand that. Again, the hypothetical situation you suggested is just another weak attempt at justification for the fact that you think it should be okay for people to be discriminated against in the workplace because they are muslim.

When have I said that people shouldn't be hired on merit? I've only hired people on merit, it's also a bit strange for you to make that point when you were suggesting that if a muslim doesn't get hired on the grounds that they are a muslim that it's their fault for being a muslim? Which one is it? Do you hire based on merit or based on religious and racial preference? You can't champion both when it suits you.

You keep speaking of articles because you don't have any actual experience of interacting with muslims, you let Buzzfeed and the alt right websites you stumble across on google inform your opinion because the reality that muslims are no different to anyone else doesn't fit well with your confirmation bias.

I've worked with many muslims and I have muslim friends and I've never known any of them to demand extra breaks or special treatment on the grounds of their religion. I'll take my actual experiences to be more indicative of the average muslim in a workplace over the fantasies presented by alt right websites to attract the clicks of racists.
