True.
Religion is for the poor in spirit, finance and mental health people

I believe since you're there to work, you have no business with their religion. Besides your appointment should be based on terms and conditions to which you both will agree.
So if you both don't agree to each other's conditions, no deal.

You should have asked them all these questions when you were being interviewed to hear their take because we don't know them well enough to be able to say what they are capable of and judging with other peoples' experience won't work as everyone is not the same.

I still believe they can't impose their personal/religious beliefs and practices on you because you're working with them. Never heard of such before.

How is he a religious bigot for trying to understand his working environment.? Or must he practice their religion because he's working for them?
Can you do it?

You people should try and get the message of a post before judging the poster.

All the Ops' wants to be sure of is, if his employers are not going to force their religious practices on him since he's not of the same religion as them and it's not out of place for him to ask because religious differences sometimes could pose a problem and clashes on the job in the long run hence the need to ask to avoid any future brouhaha.

So he needs to know if it's better not to even take up the job.
He's not saying he cant work with a Muslim. Therefore he's not a religious bigot.

U ain't the first & probably won't be the last. They will most likely give u Sundays, easters, new years & Christmas holidays. Don't know ur arrangements about food, but during fasting if they have small kids, u got no problems, if they don't u might only get breakfast & dinner.

my neighbors maid is a Christian & they get along well since I have known them

You are first human. You only know about religion while you were growing up. One of your priorities in life is how to be a better human. Stop relating with people base on religion. Even God has no religion. However I am not stopping anyone from his or her belief. If the person is a good person to work with, you can work with the person so far you too have good intention. Remember, we only have good people and bad people in this world.

From my little experience, even though i'm a Christian, i find Muslims more compassionate to work with.
With Muslims, you know where he or she stands on any issue but my Christian brothers eh. May God help us.
Even daddy GO of RCCG years back ssid he preferred giving camp construction contracts to Muslims instead of his members because of trust issues.

Make una Dey leave all these unnecessary matters. There are thousands of Muslims working for Christians in Nigeria and vice versa.

As for the fasting thing. Muslims do not force anyone to fast. Not even their children or family. I’m talking from my own family perspective. You will be allowed to eat during fasting periods.

That’s what we are saying religion is nothing but a tool of separation. You’re already have that perception of “me” and “them

The best experience I have ever had in life. I was recommended to a Muslim professor from my Department in the university in the mid-1980s. They were three brothers each having his own Business. My Master was the eldest. I don't want to mention his name, because it's a popular Muslim family in Yorubaland. A few days after I started work (I was living in the premises like a member of the family) the haemorrhoids (piles) I had been nursing from my university days got burst. Instead of sending me away as a new worker, this great man had me admitted in LUTH and I was operated on. He cautioned that I shouldn't tell any of my people, not even my twin brother. He saw me through the illness. He wouldn't allow me to go back to work until I was totally healed.
At the end of about four years, he got me fixed up in another job, which has remained my profession since 1989. Earlier, he had sent me on a training.
When I was about to do my wedding in 1994, this great man bought clothes for me and my fiancee from London(he had a personal home in London).
Lest I forget. He came to my new workplace(I had left him then) in 1990 and told me that he would be going to London. I told him that I needed a VHS video player. He bought it for me for £250 pounds. I still have the receipt. It was an Hitachi Front Loader.
Earlier in 1987, whilst I was still with him, he would be going to Switzerland. He bought for me a colour television, called SABA, 99 channels.
It's remarkable that all of us working for these brothers were Christians. Never was anyone discriminated against!
I don't want to mention his name. He died in February 2001 at 83 years. He's from Egbaland while I'm from Ekiti. I wept my eyes out at his death.
If you do not believe this story, it shows how far down Nigeria has gone. It's a true life story and God knows that I do not have anything to gain by lying at my time of life. I'll be 64 years old in November, by His grace.
Interestingly, I wasn't the only one this great man did a good turn for. I've heard many stories told about his generosity. May God preserve the soul of Professor S. O. B.
That Muslim is not a bad man, just as that Christian too is a good man. Most of our mutual suspicions were engendered by the politicians. I'm a born again Christian and Professor S. O. B. did not at any time put me to scorn. I still enjoy the fact of my affiliation with him to this day and I'm still in touch with members of the family. What I said about him was just a little of the love he showed me.
I wish I could tell you more, but I'm preparing my Biography, to be published by my personal publishing firm later. The man introduced me to publishing. I WILL never forget that great man. My prayers is that whoever are named with him this side of Eternity shall never beg to eat, IJN.

Re: As A Christian Can You Work For A Muslim As... by jomoh: 9:36pm On Jun 02, 2021
No Muslim family will ever stop you from going to church nor refuse to give you food cos they’re fasting but don’t expect them to go out of their way to make you food while they’re fasting. They won’t stop you from accessing their foods if you had access to it prior to fasting.

You’re only expressing fear of what you know most Christians do to Muslims working under them.

This is like a predator walking into the territory of the prey thinking he’d be treated same way preys are treated by his fellow predators.
