"Inayat Bunglawala, assistant secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain, described the assistant’s comments as “offensive” and called for Marks & Spencer to carry out a thorough investigation."

Guessing this sentence will be overlooked....

This case is similar to the one in Malaysia recently where Christians' use of Allah for God was set to be banned because some Muslims there believed Christians and Muslims don't have the same god (which, incidentally, they don't, but Muslims aren't supposed to believe that). Muslims are supposed to view Christianity sort of how Christians view Judaism: a valid religion where the adherents worship God, but before some new revelation. Apparently, some Muslims have jumped on the extremist bandwagon without having an in-depth knowledge of their own religion (guess they're somewhat comparable to some racist groups in the United States, passing themselves off as devout Christians yet obviously having immense gaps in their Biblical knowledge).

Enough blathering. Basically, these Muslims seem to take out of their religion what they want, and in this instance they're taking the loads of bad stuff in Islam.

Any bets on what the employer (and the government) would have done had a non-Muslim acted in the same manner to a Muslin buying a Koran?

The employee would have been sacked AND prosecuted by the government. Bet on it.

So when is England going to grow some and throw these dirt bags out of the country?

England doesn't have them anymore. We're not all that far behind -- I think. (Please, Lord, let me be wrong...)

“This is the perfect example of how Islam and the West can’t coincide.

This clerk wasn’t an Islamofascist or a terrorist, she was a regular everyday believer of Islam, which shows that Islam belongs in the history books or somewhere far in the desert away from regular people.”


This simple example explains why the “moderate” mooselimbs dont condemn the extremists.

Looks like time to bookmark a Koran with a slice of bacon.

That there's the making of a nice novelty item, a cardboard bookmark printed and cut like a slice of bacon.

Sainsbury’s said it was keen to accommodate the religious beliefs of all its staff.

They need to be a bit more concerned about the beliefs of their customers!!!

"Don’t work at a bookstore if you don’t like the books..."

Actually, militant Islamists should stay the hell out of countries founded by NON-Muslims and populated by a Super Majority of NON-Muslims... It appears that Islam and the civilized/industrialize world are incompatible.....

Talk about a bunch of weiny supervisors. Just why in God’s name are these people allowed to work in stores where alcohol and Christian Books are sold????????????? These “precious” muslims can find work cleaning the streets, for Heavens Sake. To heck with them. Go back to the country where these idiocincocies are enforced. We don’t have to put up with them. We were here first and they are the late comers hoping for a “good life”, because where they came from is a Terrible Life. Look what they do to girls during puberty and when one gets raped, they mutilate them to death. They give me a pain in the arse.

Stand your ground, but the Christian view is that all human creatures are 'unclean' (depraved/unworthy/etc.). The woman should have demanded to speak with the manager and try to get the assistant fired, not act the way the Muslims do.

Your comment is sort of akin to proposing a Christian behead some random Muslim for every random Christian beheaded by a Muslim. Christians should not stoop to the Muslims' level.

If this kind of thing continues to happen, England is sunk. Truly.

Come to think of it, I think it's already too late.

:-(

Wow!

I am shocked that someone in the UK was buying something Bible related!
