Political Islam in the Workplace

_______________________________

Political Islam is waging a war against the West and one theater of that war is the workplace.

Corporates are soft targets for terrorist attacks but aside from the threat of violence they are also easy prey for Islamists deploying nonviolent tactics in pursuit of their goals.

Islamist employees may not end up committing acts of terrorism, but their behavior is certain to generate significant workplace conflict that undermines productivity and workforce cohesion. A recent survey of over 1,000 French managers revealed that 65% had to handle faith-based problems on an occasional or regular basis, ranging from absenteeism through collective praying to refusal to work with a female colleague.

In the USA title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act has been perverted to further the political agenda of organizations such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations. CAIR recently deployed a smartphone application to enable employees to issue a discrimination lawsuit against their employer. Such a lawsuit may be prompted by the simple enforcement of the company dress code and can entail significant financial and reputational costs, even if the employer wins the case.

In Europe corporates are gradually overcoming a reluctance to discuss these issues out of fear of accusations of Islamophobia but in the USA the core value of religious freedom is being used by Islamists as an instrument to stifle debate. 

On Thursday 26 April 2018 Forum on Islamic Radicalism and Management, London Center for Policy Research and American Center for Democracy are hosting a conference at the US Capitol to break this taboo and tackle head-on the campaign being waged by political Islam to make Western business Sharia-compliant.

The conference will include speakers from France, the UK, Belgium, Hungary and Israel as well as from the USA.
