Re: M&S tells Muslim staff they CAN refuse to serve customers buying alcohol or pork
 

but the Americans drop bombs for oil and our government follow them worse than fighting for what they think is right in the eyes of God surely?

you do know the US involvement in WWII was all to do with oil to do you not?

Well when insane people do insane things, it's usually because they're insane, but when someone sane does something insane that's usually the fault of religion.

Yeah, ordered to do things they wouldn't normally do. God bless America.

That's a new one on me, please enlighten me with a brief history lesson on this with a few facts.

More like God will be with you watching over and protecting you rather than helping you kill people, perhaps he didn't make that clear or perhaps ambiguity suits an agenda :shrug:

Re: M&S tells Muslim staff they CAN refuse to serve customers buying alcohol or pork
 

However, the embargo was because Japan had invaded South-East Indo-China, so I am not sure that supports the statement that 'US involvement in WW2 was all about oil'....

There's a (reasonably) balanced view from the US Military Academy, which points out that the US backed Japan into a corner.

No, but most electrical products (whoever happens to make them) are not normally considered offensive.

Alcohol *is* considered offensive by a lot of people, both religious and not.

But the post by Tizme' implied that the US went to war for oil in WW2, unless I misinterpreted the post.

For some reason 'for the oil' has become the catch-all way to explain any war or Foreign policy devision.
