Sometimes I have this funny idea that these Muslims who raise objections in stories like this don't really care that much about the "proscription against alcohol" or pigs or uncovered women or whatever it is they're demanding special treatment over.

They're just testing, and they laugh about it later when it succeeds.

Okay, that's probably not true. But in a way it would be funny if it were. :)

LOL! Everyone run out to Sainsburys and buy pork loin, bacon, baby back ribs and a case of beer! Watch the place dissolve in chaos.

I suppose that the pharmacy workers do not have to dispense birth control pills? Oh, wait...

Yet Christian pharmacists are forced to dispense abortion and birth control medicines. We must not let this infestation take root in this country like it has in Europe.

The UK is so far down the road of cultural appeasement that I’m starting to doubt if even the pubs will be open in ten years.

I wonder what would be the store’s reaction if their Baptist employees refused to handle alcoholic beverages on religious grounds?

I don’t drink. Haven’t for 10 years. But, if this happened to me, 1) Mustapha would check out my legal product, 2) Mustapha would lose his job, or, 3) Sainsbury’s would lose my business.

OK, this is getting old. The Koran teaches that you can’t consume alcohol (of the vine or of the seed) or pork. This doesn’t mean you can’t be around it, handle it or whatever. They are just using this to take small areas of control and make people bend to their will.

can someone more enlightened than i am please explain to me the difference between a muslim who refuses to touch aluminum or glass because the contents inside contain alcohol, versus a (christian) physician or pharmacist who refuses to provide or fill a prescription for birth control or abortion ‘day-after’ pills on religious grounds ?

furthermore, what does the law say regarding this issue in the UK ? can a physician or pharmacist refuse to sell birth control or abortion pills on religious grounds ?

i’m completely ignorant on this topic with regards to the law...but i seem to remember reading somewhere that doctors and pharmacists in the United States were required by law to prescribe or fill all requests for birth control/abortion pills etc ? or do they just face sanctions from their professional associations if they do so ?

maybe grocers need professional associations.

more islamic nonsense, at any rate.

"Islamic workers at Sainsbury’s who object to alcohol on religious grounds are told to raise their hands when encountering any drink at their till so that their earstwhile customer can drop his or her bags and walk out before a colleague dhimi can temporarily take their place or run over and cover for management's cowardice by scanning items for them.

Too messy:

Raise your hands when you check my Jack Daniels through and I'll simply walk away from the cart and the store.

So easy, the minute he raised his hand I would walk out, leaving everything exactly where it was.

So it's okay to insult the customer? The employee is more important than the consumer? Screw that! Let's see how business goes with bigoted employees and no customers.

Reminds me of our Lancaster Amish who can, for instance, run a wheeless weedwacker, but not a wheeled pushmower.

Let’s see:

The Hindu employees might be offended by all the beef in the store.

The Jews - the pork.

The Buddhists might be offended by ALL the meat in the store.

The Christians might refuse to sell the “pornographic” magazines & CDs on the shelves.

The muzzies - they’re probably offended by ALL of it.

So, why would you choose to work in a place that offends you so much? Or shop there? Or even pass near there, knowing the disgusting & forbidden things within?

And how is a manager to manage such nonsense?

Sainsbury’s needs to understand the phrase “slippery slope”.

Vanilla extract used for flavoring multitudes of food items contains 35% alcohol per gallon.

Looks like the muzzie checker-outers have to stop handling the twinkies and cinammon buns, also.

More PC stupidity.

Why can’t these liberal idiots at least read a koran before they cave into Islamic demands?

There is no religious reason that a muzzie can’t handle booze.
They just aren’t supposed to DRINK it, and even then you’d never know it by the number of muzzies you see in strip joints oogling western strippers.

So they are against alcohol, yet get a paycheck from a company which profits from the sale of alcohol?
