Two stories linked by one thread: foreigners causing trouble and raising a ruckus. But the the two stories have very different end results: in one, the locals say “STFU and GTFO,” in the other, they bend the knee.

Amazon Lets Muslim Workers Put Ramadan Before Prime Day

Short form: about 1,000 Somalis at an Amazon warehouse in Minnesota demand special prayer rooms (that I bet other employees don’t get to use), they demand reduced workload for an entire month (that I bet the other employees will be tasked with picking up) and they demand time off for their own celebrations (which everyone else will doubtless work through). That’s all well and good, but I didn’t see anything in the article about these workers pay being docked to pay for the special facilities or for their slacking off.

And now for something completely different:

Austria to shut seven ‘political’ mosques and expel imams

Short form: the imams in question have been preaching violence and the overthrow of Austrian culture; the mosques are foreign-funded and have been implicated in radicalization.

“Parallel societies, political Islam and radicalisation tendencies have no place in our country,” said Chancellor Kurz on Friday.

Huh.
