The Sun Online - Sun Says Cam belted
 

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.

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.

Hi, I was really shocked to read about a "muslim only" day, so I emailed the organisers and asked if I could book tickets, being a non muslim.....

the reply I got was this

"we would like to take this opportunity to invite you...

we are open to both muslims and non muslims"

so I guess it's not a muslim only day - and the media labelling it this is just to get an inflammatory response -

essentially this is a private party booking - and so if they want to exclusively sell halal meat and ban alcohol, they are entitled to do so.
