In Nashville Tennessee, 30 Muslims from Somalia have been fired from their jobs at a plant run by Dell Computer. The Muslims had insisted they be allowed to take a break from work at sunset to say their daily prayers. Since the time of sunset changes daily, the workers wanted the flexibility to take breaks at different times. The Council on American-Islamic Relations has called on Dell to rehire the workers.
