Re: M&S Muslim Refuses To Serve 'Unclean' Bible
I’ll refrain from any rant until whatever the shop assistant said gets published. The story as it appears in the link seems a bit one-sided, maybe there is a bit of “Headline Grabbing” taking place.

Re: M&S Muslim Refuses To Serve 'Unclean' Bible
I didn't know M & S sold books.
I'll have to pop a kiddies Bible into my basket the next time I go in to buy my bacon, and other non-Halal goodies.

Re: M&S Muslim Refuses To Serve 'Unclean' Bible
A Christian Country, selling Christian books telling Bible stories…..unclean?
But it’s alright to murder young and old women alike in the name of so called Honour. Unclean? This person may be a Muslim, had she been Catholic she would have been named and shamed and most likely dismissed……. Unclean? My arse.

Re: M&S Muslim Refuses To Serve 'Unclean' Bible
My gut feeling says this is just another media warbling; most likely sensationalising the story and giving the BNP more ammo.
If it is completely as the paper reports - then of course the Muslim girl is a misguided idiot and should be sacked & prosecuted for creating civil unrest. I do reserve my cynicism however. |

Re: M&S Muslim Refuses To Serve 'Unclean' Bible
If this case goes to court it would be interesting for me because I've been called up for jury service AGAIN, I'm sure I would listen to all the evidence and my judgement would be based purely on the facts of the case.

Re: M&S Muslim Refuses To Serve 'Unclean' Bible
The shop assistant's version of the story is that she didn't want to touch the book as her hands were not clean.
Not actually having been there I can't say who is telling the truth but if that was indeed what she did say then maybe the woman just got the wrong end of the stick. I don't know of any reason why a Muslim would call Bible stories 'unclean'. They supposedly respect all holy books.

Re: M&S Muslim Refuses To Serve 'Unclean' Bible
its very difficult to take a press story as gospel, if it does turn out to be i will be slavering, until then i reserve opinion.

Re: M&S Muslim Refuses To Serve 'Unclean' Bible
We can't tar all Muslims because of this one silly fundamenalist cow, but would she also not have a problem stuffing a bikini in a bag, never mind any of the other non-Islamic stuff they sell at Marks and Sparks?
I think she should pack up her hijab and her burqas and go and live in Mecca. That's if they have an M & S there, with all it's associated benefits, pensions, etc.
