Ein Restaurant in Boston hat muslimische Mitarbeiter gefeuert, weil sie an einem wichtigen religiösen Feiertag nicht gearbeitet haben. Das IHOP-Restaurant in der Innenstadt kündigte die Mitarbeiter, nachdem sie sich geweigert hatten, am Eid al-Fitr zu arbeiten, dem Fest, das das Ende des Fastenmonats Ramadan markiert. Die betroffenen Mitarbeiter hatten zuvor um Rücksicht auf ihren Glauben gebeten, aber das Management lehnte es ab, sie von der Arbeit zu befreien. Die Entscheidung des Restaurants hat Empörung und Kritik von muslimischen Gemeinschaftsmitgliedern und Unterstützern hervorgerufen. Der Vorfall verdeutlicht die Notwendigkeit einer Sensibilisierung für religiöse Vielfalt am Arbeitsplatz und in der Gesellschaft insgesamt.
