KFC branch refuses customer hand wipe because muslim people in restaurant might take offence
South Wales Evening Post ^ | 9-29-2014

A KFC member of staff refused a customer a hand-wipe as it might offend muslim people.

The incident happened at a branch in Leicester which is taking part in a ‘halal’ trial.

Halal means ‘lawful’ in Arabic and as hand wipes are soaked in alcohol, which is forbidden by the Quran, KFC in St George’s Retail Park said it could not offer the customer, Graham Noakes, 41, one.

“They told me it might offend other customers,” said Mr Noakes.

“I explained that it wouldn’t affect me. In fact - I told them I like alcohol, so it wouldn’t bother me in the slightest.”

He said he was disgusted at being refused and would not be going to KFC again.

He added: “Why shouldn’t I be allowed a wipe for my hands?”

“They use wipes in hospital. What happens when we start being told we can’t have wipes there?”

I think the UK needs to get Farage in there as Prime Minister, and offer those Pakistanis a one way ticket back to where they came from.

strangely enough, I just woke up from a dream about fried chicken and figured I would be going to KFC for supper tonight. It looks like popeye’s for me now and for the forseeable future.

You may be able to switch for a short period of time.
But soon there will be demands by the Muslim community to
end the sale of pork products in the US. A government supported grant will be awarded that concludes eating any pork product is unhealthy and should be banned. And soon the movement will start to ban pork. In the interests of
bi-partisanship the Republics will support the ban, hoping to receive part of the Arab-American vote. The ban is passed
and signed into the law by President Clinton. Hilary Clinton that is.

"Their food is really pretty awful."

roger that. You can go to the deli section of most major grocery stores and get fried chicken that is much better AND cheaper.

Unless they are about to martyr themselves of kill infidels, then drinking and whoring is ok.

I heard a news story a couple of years ago about frustrated hospital staff because muslim visitors (usually to OB) refused to use the hand sanitizer that is in all rooms because of the alcohol content. The story just went away with no mention of a resolution. Sigh. Probably hospitals were told to let it go, patient health and safety be damned.

So true. I hurt my hand a few weeks ago. We hardly ever eat out, even fast food we don’t eat. But...because we arrived home late from the ER, he stopped and bought some. It was gross and we pitched it.

Yes. I heard stories prior to going over. Some I believed and others I thought were myth. Now I know they were all true. and I was disgusted by many.

Their food is really pretty awful. Lousy tasteless chicken of almost indistinguishable pieces with greasy breading and skin, with very little meat.

Believe it or not Culver's makes a dynamite fried chicken. Next to it KFC is nearly inedible

Not sure...

Your inference is correct. We WILL see this sort of thing here in America. But it won't be by government order. It will be voluntary, compliance by political correctness.

Mom-and-pop stores might resist, but the big stores will comply. Let one muslum complain about a sign on a door, or the color of a chair (or some such nonsense), and the big stores will comply.

It's not that they are stupid. It's that they are cowards.

“I don’t like alcohol hand wipes. They’re very drying. But there are places to get hydrogen peroxide hand wipes. Some hospitals are using them, too.”

Hydrogen peroxide is just two alcohols hooked together so it can’t be allowed either.

So alcohol is not allowed for muslims. To drink, I understand. For cleanliness, that is idiocy.

Saudi Arabian perfume is the best in the world. It uses denatured alcohol as its base. Says so right on the bottle.

Uh, the Quran forbids the drinking of any alcohol made with grains or grapes. Alcohol made from honey, potatoes, etc. are not forbidden nor is rubbing alcohol.

The sycophants to Islam are even more insane that those that follow the religion.

Sanitation is anti islamic apparently...

Maybe the Halal wet wipes will be infused with Camel piss instead of alcohol ....

If Muslims are drinking hand sanitizer... It would explain a lot.

For heaven’s sake. If the WCTU isn’t offended by an alcohol wipe, why should a Muslim? That’s right, most WCTU ladies are rational people.
