Muslims going too far

It was announced today that Mecca Bingo, has been asked by the local Muslim cleric, if they can change the name, as it offends there religion to be associated with betting.

But the local Bingo hall, has advised them, that Mecca Bingo has been going for over 50 years, and has no intention of changing the name, The cleric has stated that it could lead to protest.

Doesn't the local Muslim community have anything better to do, than complain about something that has been going, before the name Muslim was ever mentioned in this easy going country.http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/im...cons/icon8.gif

Arthur does not "do" links.

He does, however, post random absurdities. A cursory search of the intertubes suggests that a similar story was covered in relation to the Rank group back in 1998 and a more recent, though not British, incident involved a Spanish nightclub.

Out of interest Arthur, whereabouts is "far" and which particular muslim is going there?

Oh lordy. He we go again.

Yep its terrible, in fact the whole country is just one step away from turning into a sharia state with burqua wearing enforced for women and sheep in the remote parts of the land. :rolleyes:

Without a link the story is pretty meaningless, with a link I'd wager it would turn out to be bogus after a cursory examination so if you are a fan of bingo I'm pretty sure you can continue going to Mecca bingo for a while yet before it is renamed the 'Great Satan pit of sin and damnation'

Shouldn't it be:

'Muslims going too far' or even 'Muslim goes too far'?

Re: Muslim's going too far

I found one similar, but not the same offensive word.

Quote:

Dundee pub renamed 'Medina Bar and Grill' is criticised by Muslim groups, who say it is disrespectful to their faith.

A Scottish bar that has undergone a re-branding exercise has caused outrage among the local Muslim community who say it is disrespectful to the Islamic faith.

And no call for it to be renamed either, well done Gary.

Whilst I was looking I found this. it's hysterical when you read it :rofl:

I should post it in the humour thread really.

WORSHIPPERS in the world's most populous Muslim country have been facing Africa â€” not Mecca when praying, it emerged today.

Indonesia's highest Islamic body has admitted making a mistake when issuing advice on which direction followers should pray in.
It has now asked Muslims to turn slightly to the north so they are facing Mecca when they pray.
The holy city in Saudi Arabia is the centre of the Muslim world.
But the Indonesian Ulema Council wrongly announced in March this year that Mecca was due west of Indonesia.
The east coast of Africa is actually due west of the Asian country â€” whereas Mecca is several degrees to the north.
One of the council's prominent clerics Ma'ruf Amin said today: "After a thorough study with some cosmography and astronomy experts, we learned they've been facing southern Somalia and Kenya.
"We've revised it now to the northwest."
He said Indonesians need not worry, however, adding: "The miscalculation did not affect God's ability to hear their prayers.
"God understands that humans make mistakes. Allah always hears their prayers."

Yes you should.

Go ahead and delete it from this thread and post it in the humour thread if you feel that it belongs there - unless of course you have a particular, as yet undeclared, reason for posting it in this thread.

I think it can show the importance of Mecca.

No I'm happy to leave the grammar and punctuation alone but spelling is the first thing everyone notices.
Has anyone found a link yet?

Yes, it does and I'm glad to see that you too acknowledge its importance.

That's very socially responsible of you and, I must admit, a somewhat surprising - and welcome - change from your usual criticisms of the religion.

Yay you!
