CAIR: The Muslim pig in a poke at JBS Swift.

Group in talks with Greeley plant about Muslims for a year. In talks? More like agitating and shit disturbing, if you ask me.

Rima Kapitan, with CAIR's Chicago office, on Wednesday met with Muslim workers recently fired by JBS Swift. She said CAIR is coordinating with an attorney retained by about 60 of the fired workers.

Kapitan said more talks are planned this week between CAIR and national officials with the United Food and Commercial Workers, the union that represents production workers at Swift.
