Muslim-only Alton Towers

Thrilling ... but only Muslims will be invited

 BRITAIN’S biggest fun park has sparked a race row — with a MUSLIMS-ONLY day.

Up to 28,000 are expected at Alton Towers on September 17 when there will be no music, booze or gambling.

Instead there will be prayer areas, Muslim stalls and all food served will be HALAL.

Organisers Islamic Leisure have billed it the First National Muslim Fun Day and tickets can only be bought through their website.

Non-Muslims phoning the Staffordshire park have been refused tickets.

One, George Hughes, 19, who rang up for 15 tickets for a pal’s birthday, said: “I couldn’t believe it.

 

Invited ... Muslim girls can go to the fun day
 

 

“It’s the only day we can go, yet I can’t because I’m not Muslim. Can you imagine all the fuss if there was a Christians-only day?”

George, of Crayford, Kent, added: “My Muslim friends think it’s outrageous.

“What’s the world coming to when people are being banned from flying the St George’s flag yet this sort of day is allowed? If it must be held, then why not on a weekday rather than a busy weekend?”

The event is widely promoted on the internet and the Muslim Public Affairs Committee declared it “exclusively for our brothers and sisters”.

But some Muslims have condemned the idea. One university student on a Muslim website forum said: “It’s hardly encouraging integration.”

Another said: “What next . . . an all Muslims shopping day out in the Trafford Centre in Manchester?”

Abid Hussan of Islamic Leisure insisted the day was open to all faiths, although Islamic laws would apply.

He added: “There will be no smoking, no alcohol and halal food only.

“We’re trying to get Muslims to go to this day because they wouldn’t normally go somewhere like Alton Towers. We’re trying to integrate Muslims into the wider community. People can come down and see the way we live. It will be a peaceful family environment.”

Alton Towers said any organisation could hire the park for a day.

A spokeswoman said “We make no distinction regarding sexuality, religious, ethnic or lifestyle choices.”

She confirmed tickets for the day were now available only through Islamic Leisure. And Alton Towers would promote the fact that the day had been booked.

She added: “As a general rule, there will be no admission on the day to guests who have not booked through the organisation in advance.”

Tell you what, Alton Towers:
Lets make every day for the rest of your (short) commercial existence Muslim only day.

The Free Market usually offers the best solutions. particularly when people spend money carefully, and consider their spending like they do their vote,

I could've done more but I'm sleepy.'-)

A fine effort, no apologies necessary.  There's always tomorrow.

[Gorzaloon]

I wonder if their hijabs ever get caught in the rides?

If the wind blows the hijab up, they have to be stoned to death, of course.

For Honor, you know.

Remember, according to the western Multiculturalists, it's not up to the Muslim immigrants to assimilate, it's up to the native population to assimilate them.

When a Muslim goes on a rampage and kills westerners, it's because of the failuer of westerners to integrate them.

L.O.L....Just kiss the enemy...he will kiss you back!

" Britons! Take back your country!"

Err, and do what? Nationalise all the theme parks? Pass a law preventing Alton Towers being hired by private groups?

[Canard]

"Non-Muslims phoning the Staffordshire park have been refused tickets." Everyone phoning the Staffordshire park would have been 'refused tickets'. On days where the park has been hired privately, they don't sell any tickets. That's kinda the point.

Are you saying that Muzzie Day is a 'target rich environment'?

There you have it.

Of course it's wrong, illegal and takes full advantage of the blatant double standard.
Who would want to go? Just having a chain with a cross would get you on the ground with no neck to put the chain on.
Don't lose your head over it.

[Canard]

"Of course it's wrong, illegal and takes full advantage of the blatant double standard."

Please expand on how it's illegal?

Having personally been to a private event at Alton Towers (it was hired by the company I work for for an employees-only day), I had no idea I was involved in illegality!

With no infidels present, how can the Muslims enjoy their favorite fun games, like suicide bombings, beheadings, gouging out eyeballs, torture, etc.,etc?

[Gritty]

“What’s the world coming to when people are being banned from flying the St George’s flag yet this sort of day is allowed?..."

Obviously, this clueless lad doesn't yet understand the concept of "Dhimmitude".

He soon will.

True, it's baffling to think that they could find any fun in a jihad-free environment.  Perhaps they will busy themselves with their second-favorite activity, treating women with unspeakable brutality?

Maybe they will have "men's"  workshops on whip-making and Building Your Own Medieval Torture Equipment At Home.  A financial advisor might give a talk on "how to avoid spending more than the bare minimum to feed your wife".  Empowerment workshops might feature classes on "How to get her to shut up and stay that way".

When you have a 'culture' that is so screwed up that it views stoning women to death in the village square , beheading women because they are SUSPECTED of infidelity or cutting out people's tongues with a rusty knife and a pair of pliers as as being  perfectly acceptable activities and "normal" redress of grievances, all sorts of opportunities may present themselves when you have thirty thousand of them together in one place.

 

[F.J. Mitchell]

LOL! Thirty thousand of them in one place. Maybe that is enough for several stampedes like they have every year on their Pilgrimage to Mecca.

[f zero]

Nope! They are women, they have no rights.

He added: “There will be no smoking, no alcohol and halal food only.

I would go covered in a bedsheet. Once inside, I would smoke and drink beers and take photos of the women.
