Sooner or later, they are going to have to sell something like that, and if they are unwilling, then they shouldnt get the job.

I suppose when in MandS, she doesnt serve customers with Pork or anything... again, something MandS sell, and if they want to work for that company, they should.

She should be fired.

Theres the full story.

Fact is, what is said in there is correct.

If it was a Christian refusing to sell a Kouran, there would be hell to pay. In fact, that person would have lost their job.

Why should anyone else be any different?

This is England. EVERYONE abides by the same laws and regulations, policies and respects other peoples beliefs.

Why Apply for a job which entails serving Bibles and "unclean" meat? AND THEN the assistant offended her by saying the Bible is Unclean!!!! Thats offensive to our religions, and for that alone, she should be fired on discrimination of the customer.

So many people come into this country and try to impose their religious beliefs onto us, Its our country but no-one can seem to see that.! We`re getting worn down by all the immigrants who protest that they can`t practise their beliefs.

All the time the muslims are allowed to demonstrate and have rallies, If we put up a flag of St George, we`re told to take it down............ What the **** is that all about? It`s our country. Lets never forget it.:confused:
When will the government start standing up for us?

If only we'd banned Polish/Russian/Lithuanian Jews from setting up successful shops in Britain, there would be no problem, would there!

I bet you find it extremely hard to find any Islamic organisation that has advocated you taking down the St Georges flag.

And it might suprise you but a lot of muslims are also nrmal, white hard working family men.

As for demos and rallies I cant recall that being banned to non muslims in the UK.

So basically, the only thing which has happened here is the customer has merely assumed they were offended by a Bible because they're Muslim.

This is a non-story and the fact that it's made multiple national papers (the usual suspects, of course) really just shows the disturbing level of islamophobia nowadays.



Yeah, of course. :rolleyes:



Indeed. Such a supposed prejudice Islamic shop assistant and yet they're working for a reknowned Jewish company. But i guess the Jews and Muslims are as one? I forgot that.



This person is clearly a xenophobe and a bigot. But i'm sure they're enjoying all the cash and attention they're receiving after crying to the press about how their shopping trip was ruined and life turned upside down by some evil Muslim.



Said after shopping in a store created by a Jew over 100 years ago.

You can't make this stuff up.

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,.:)

I note that all the differing 'reports' thus far are exactly the same almost word for word.

Let us hope some independent journalist actually does try to delve a little further and get us a few more 'facts'.
