Car manufacturers shouldn't be setting up shop in Islamizing countries like Turkey
Toyota's been attacked for trying to restrict Muslim prayer among their employees at the factory they own in Turkey. Honestly, why are they wasting their time there? Even Renault, which to my knowledge has until now been maintaining at least one factory in Turkey, shouldn't be doing their building there if the employees are going to be causing these kind of problems. Just because it's "cheaper" doesn't mean it benefits long-term with this kind of galling behavior running amok. If they were smart, they'd arrange to set up factories over here in Israel, where they'd find that there's workers in Jewish society who could do the work for them, and even those who could work on Saturday too if they really need it.
With creeping sharia in Turkey, it's about time they close shop there and turn to other places where they'd find employees more up to the task, including the USA, where Renault might want to try selling their cars and trucks again.

In the alternative, perhaps Toyota and other manufacturers should simply make very clear the working conditions in their plants and inform prospective workers that those who cannot work under those conditions should not apply. There are, after all, plenty of Turks who are not observant Sunnis or are not Muslim at all, who will appreciate the jobs.
