Good for Tyson. It's refreshing to see a large corporation that is in touch with it's employees.

What bothers me about this is the tone of the email shown on Snopes. The author seems genuinely shocked and offended that a Muslim holiday is being recognized by an American company.

How is a chicken company giving it's (mostly) Muslim employees the day off on a Muslim holiday "the beginning to removing more of the holidays and other symbols that made the United States of America the greatest country on earth."?

And moreover, why the hell should that make people "very careful whom they vote for in November"? I don't like how this implies that electing Obama will somehow be the kick off point into turning America into a fundamentalist Muslim country or handing it over to the terrorists on a silver platter.

It's short-sighted, ignorance prejudice like this that pisses me off sometimes.
