	A day of rest is something which is desirable if it can be afforded. To
legislate it to a particular day is not necessary and therefore senseless.
If some people want to rest on Sunday, they should be able to do so; 
similarly, if some people want/need to work on Sundays, they should be
allowed to. This makes sense.

	For the record, muslims do NOT observe a day of sabbath. Ie. there
	is no day of the week when one is forced to work or rest.
