Hi lew,
on the first page we learnt he isnt racist.

Re: Muslim Refuses To Sell Bible Story Book At M&S
 

Whenever someone says "i am not racist" am i the only one that then reads further thinking thats exactly what a person is. If your truly not racist you don't need to state it or at least thats how i look at it.

Where?

Re: Muslim Refuses To Sell Bible Story Book At M&S
 

If you choose to live your life according to a code or rules then you WILL encounter challenging situations. It would be foolish to think otherwise. So you have 2 options, either allow yourself to be put in positions which will place you at odds with society or you do what you can to ensure they won't happen, such as taking stock of what you want to do for employment.

Sorry? Since when was a book of bible stories part of the christian religion?
You also appear unaware that those same stories also relate to Islam and Judaism too?
So was she discriminating against herself?

Re: Muslim Refuses To Sell Bible Story Book At M&S
 

If a person works in an environment where a) the management have allowed that person not to participate in something which goes against their beliefs/morals and, b) there is somone else working there to fulfil the customers wishes in that situation, then whats the big deal.

This woman, rightly or wrongly, refused to sell the Bible story book. That does not make her a rubbish salesperson/assistant. Her capabilities to serve a customer cannot be judged by this incident. You have to look at the customer's response of "Im not racist but i refuse to be served by someone in a headscarf" to reach a conclusion that this is some total over reaction by a customer out to make a name of herself, albeit in the Star and Daily Mail.

So she was calling herself unclean as well then xaccers ???? see this is why i don't have any belief in religion all seems too easy for some to use it as an excuse.

Re: Muslim Refuses To Sell Bible Story Book At M&S
 

She wasn't calling anyone unclean. Something a few people on here appear to have trouble understanding.

Swoop's stated that by refusing to sell an item she believes is haram, she's discriminating against the buyer, when that clearly isn't the case as she wouldn't sell it to anyone, instead, being a good shop assistant, called someone else over to complete the sale.

Re: Muslim Refuses To Sell Bible Story Book At M&S
 

Oh Yippee another mulism thread! Isn't anyone bored of muslims yet?

Re: Muslim Refuses To Sell Bible Story Book At M&S
 

This is being discussed on other forums too, and what some1 has said there, is:


If that is true, then I agree with the assistant. Otherwise, she should be kicked out!!!!!

Re: Muslim Refuses To Sell Bible Story Book At M&S
 

So it's ok for her to refuse to sell the item due to her religious beliefs, but if the refusal was due to her religious beliefs she should be sacked?
Makes perfect sense :rolleyes:

Re: Muslim Refuses To Sell Bible Story Book At M&S
 

Strange really when there is a long list of other groups to pick on - Hindus, Buddhists, Rastafarians, gays, Daily Mail readers!. :scratch:

Re: Muslim Refuses To Sell Bible At M&s
 

Hi Stuart CFT, for once, l totally disagree with you, if l go into a shop, l expect to be served, by the assistant, for what ever reason, shops are there to be 'shopped ' in, its like l used to work for a plastic's company, and becuase we sold plastic to the fishing industry, an prospective employee, who came in for a job, wouldn't take the job, as we sold a product to a company, that made fishing rods, and he turned it down, as the rods, causes stress to FISH, that is how stupid it was (and it is not a joke either), the woman should have been sacked, for failing to do her job properly, and as far as l know, the woman in question has 'gone sick' from M&S.:)
