What an absolute load of bollox, either do the job you're paid to do or **** off and let someone who wants to graft have the job.
My god says I can't do this, my god says I must do this...
There is no fecking god get over it.

My issue is this doesn't 'just' happen. Some Muslim person has made a decision to turn selling alcohol into a public issue, not just to not sell it but to make not selling it a big public display by getting the MCofGB involved.
Why is it an issue right now?
If alcohol is so profane and 'dirty' then should they even be working for a corporation that sells it?

I find it bewildering and frankly embarrassing that I live in a country where the press are allowed to, in a matter of hours, escalate one woman wearing a headscarf refusing to serve alcohol to one customer to represent all the evils of multi-culturalism by sensationalist, manipulative and devisive reporting.
That said I am not sure which is worse, the scum press or the fecking morons who read and believe their nonsense!

I do agree with you're comment about all religion being bollocks but I respect the right of people to worship whom they please provided they don't try to ram it down people's throats.

Seems to me it was the customer and then of course the media who made a big issue of it. As far as I know the woman in question hasn't said a word publically!

IWhy don't you write to the Press Complaints Commision and complain http://www.pcc.org.uk/ and remember to complain about the treatment of the Jewish man and the Hindu woman http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...Saturdays.html and the Christian woman http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...challenge.html while you're at it.

Yes, you are. Not sure about 'now', though.
This thread questions certain beliefs of the Islamic faith/orthodoxy. Rightfully so, I don't dispute that- fair enough. But you tell me if it is so necessary to discuss a flaw of this much controversial faith at this time, when a number of Muslim SN members are wishing everyone a Merry Christmas? I don't think so. Quite a divisive thread, if you consider the timing. Very similar to what a terrorist would do. Throw a hatred bomb when the community spirit is on high due to national festivity. SN might as well be a Daily Fail.
But if you insist upon discussing, just because a Muslim lady 'very politely' refused to serve alcohol, it doesn't make her disrespectful to her customer and to your societal norms. M&S have given a right response. Obviously they're wisely inclined to draw the benefits from the diversity, even if they have to make some adjustments to cater for the special need of their employee from certain faith. I bet she doesn't take time off sick like the indigenous work-shy must do; due to their all- night drinking and hang overs.
IMO good business tactics from M&S. Good on them.
BTW, I saw Khan's Christmas special on TV last night when I was wrapping my presents. ******* hilarious!

Now we just need the "Christmas is banned in the council office as it offends the Muslims who work there" and the "St George's flag is banned from being flown in Birmingham as it offends Muslims' 'true' stories and the thread will be complete.

Pakkis, *******, ******, Eastern Europeans, Kurds, afghans Ect Ect. AND whites !!
There's good and bad in all, the majority are good and minority bad. But who reports on a good story or happy ending. We only hear about the bad things that happen, nothing to do with religion. I'm an Irish catholic, I can't remember the last time I went to church or practised anything to do with my religion. This doesn't mean I'm bad it's just my choice !! Just as it's the girls choice who didn't want to sell alcohol. Everybody will practice their religion differently, down to their individual beliefs. I was brought up in a very racist area "Bacup" but this has only opened my eyes to stupidity of racism.
