Yes they do, and for instance while contracting in a certain mail sorting office I had to do some work in their prayer room I was asked to remove my safety boots. You can guess what I choose to do, follow their religion or look after my health and safety.
you dont get special breaks you take it outta your lunch break, in my case 1 hour break, 10mins for both prayers that are during work time and 40 mins lunch.

You should take up smoking, you still get a full hour for lunch regardless of how many ciggie breaks.

I thought the same, Jon. I've stopped smoking and only now realise how many additional breaks smokers are afforded. At least praying doesn't kill you......well, you know what I mean. What I can't fathom is how going to the mosque five times a day can be conducive to a productive work life. Perhaps the gentleman, who I understand is an ex-professional rugby league player, has the means to allow for his life to be dedicated to Allah and Islam's prophet. If so, and assuming his beliefs and the way they are practiced do not pose a material threat, I can see no grounds for criticism of the man.

I guess whether practicing their religion could lead to a productive work life depends on the line of work they're in. It may not be productive in the sense of the hours put in, but it if leads to a more fulfilling work life, that in a way can be productive, happy workers leads to better work and a state of mind and what not. Besides, preventing someone from praying during work time could lead to discriminatory litigation and possibly adverse media attention!

I was meaning that perhaps the chap has the means to support an almost ascetic life, one dedicated entirely to Allah and Islam's prophet. I'm saying that that choice is legitimate.
