Ride? Wrong

MUSLIMS are invited to an exclusive Alton Towers “fun day”, apparently to “integrate them into the wider community”.

Technically, it’s open to all. Except there’s no music or booze, only halal food will be available and tickets are only on sale from an outfit called Islamic Leisure.

How social harmony is promoted by effectively shutting a theme park to non-Muslims is anyone’s guess.

“It’s hardly encouraging integration,” writes one contributor to an ISLAMIC website.

Well said.

I don't see anything wrong with it. When I worked for Hughes Aircraft we had a day at Disneyland for only employees and families.

"Hello, ACLU?"

"Yes, I've been refused tickets to the Alton Towers."

"Well, they said it was because I'm not a Muslim."

"No, I'm Christian."

"Hello? Hello?"

Best check for sabotage while fumigating after the gathering.

We’re trying to integrate Muslims into the wider community.

Then perhaps you should not exclude the wider community?

Gee, too bad a stray bomb or two can't fall off the planes of the Royal Air Force.....ooops!

OK, OK, too violent. Hey, at least let some swine through the gates. How fun would that be to watch!

So, Alton Towers is going to allow a non-Muslim day, right?

They left a word out....they are interested in integrating with the wider MUSLIM community.

there is no interest, it seems, in integrating with the wider community as a whole, as evidenced by this Muslims Only Day.

Without explosives?  This may be a first.

How did they like the new Mohammad robot that tries to pick up on thirteen year old girls in the audience?
