"This is our Multiculteral Room. Our Muslim employees use it for prayers"
"Why not call it the Muslim Room?"
"Then people would feel they couldn't use it"
"Why else can use it?"
"Well, no one really but that's beside the point"
"Well, what is the point?"
"The point is that you ask too many questions"
There is at least one FReeper in that camp. I can't remember his screen name, but no doubt he and perhaps a few cohorts will show up here...
Who, Boris Vallejo? ;)
Why not?
Threw out his literature?
That'd make any Odinist get plenty Thor.
There is a small but vibrant Odinism movement in the UK. There is also a very small, about twenty or so, Odin-worshippers in Grass Valley, California - the Sacramento Bee did a bit of coverage on them a couple years ago. Regardless, if the man entered a "multicultural" room and not a mosque then there was no offense in wearing his shoes. The real offense is that the UK taxpayers are funding a defacto mosque in a Royal Mail facility.
Uhhhh, here's a tip:
REAL Prophets climb mountains to be closer to God.
They don't crawl into holes to hear the hissings of the Serpent.
IOW, Satanists were already involved in this case...
Actually quite a bit of Loki seemingly at work here - we ought not be so quick to dismiss
IA guys are like HR. They're there for the good of the company.
I have no problem with that. That's cool, and that's what they're hired to do.
I do have a problem with the way they present themselves as "we're here to help you," because 99.8% of the time, they're not.
Odinist-type pagan earth-worshippers (i.e. neoliberals) and Islamists must be quite opposed to each other. More so, IMO, than to believers in the god of Abraham.
I love loki. The white chocolate raspberry truffle is the BEST.
Better watch it, tall, or you'll get beaned with a hammer.
Shalom.
I understand Odinist women wear mail corsets that are quite form-fitting and, therefore, totally unacceptable in a Muslim prayer room.
Shalom.
They'd better watch out for him, too.
Straight on- if he had gone in there with a mirror to worship himself there would have been no right to abuse him.
He would have been stuipd, however, because he could do the same thing over at the DNC and get paid to do it, but that's beside the point.
Shalom.

No, I meant why do you say there is no such religion as Odinism?
But substitute any other word or religion for Odinist and it sums up the same, perpetually offended Muslims expecting - and receiving - preferential treatment. Suppose Mr. Holden had left his Bible or Torah in the room? I think the result would be the same. Are all users of the multicultural prayer room supposed to remove their shoes before entering? Is this clearly indicated, as many other religions do not require removal of shoes? We do know that Mr. Holden did have the audacity to use a room designated for prayer by all, but understood as prayer for one group only.
Exactly.
