    Yes & Lebanon. Beirut used to be sin city & there was ships off the Iraqi coast that hosted sex shows until the muslims took over.

    This might be a bit controversial but I would give Israel complete control of the Middle East & arm them to the hilt.
    I like the way the Israeli's deal with things. They do what's right for them, **** the rest of the world & stick 2 fingers up to anyone who doesn't like it.
    That's the foreign policy we should have but LibLabCon haven't the balls.

    To follow this through logically, and using Muslim's own doctrine, they shouldn't even consider working there.

    Taking money from a company that promotes and encourages the consumption of pig meat & alcohol should dissuade them.

    Living in a country that generally holds contrary religious views and consumes such abhorrent food and drink is hypocritical.

    If they truly believe in their own ideals they should find a country where they'd feel at home and settle happily there <ok>

    Marks (of Marks and Spencers) was Jewish. Maybe they shouldn't be selling pork in the first place then? <laugh>

    My God there are some horrible, nasty, pig-ignorant ****s in this world, sadly I appear to have stumbled upon this particular thread which is hosting a lot of them.

    Sometimes I despair at humanity, I really do. You should be ****ing ashamed of yourselves, I shudder to think what your children will turn out like with some of you as 'role models'. Sometimes I think it might not be such a bad idea to get the hell out this broken country, and it's not broken because of any immigration, it's broken because of this hideous and narrow-minded attitude of hatred that is creeping in thanks to our ignorant masses and despicable right-wing media.

    There are at least a few sensible voices on this thread trying in vain to make some of you see sense, just a shame you are too ****ing thick as **** to actually pay attention.

    To those people, **** off and have a **** Christmas <ok>

    Well as you're an atheist you have no interest in Christmas do you ...... celebrating it would confirm you to be the bigoted hypocrite you appear to be <laugh>

    Sensible voice ffs <doh> By the way, why do you resort to using such foul language when you fail to make your point.

    That's the sign of someone who can't use logic and reason I'm afraid.

    You should be ashamed.

    No pal, believe me it really is you and some of your buddies on here who should be ashamed, absolutely no question whatsoever <ok>

    And please direct me to the point where I said I was an atheist? I certainly don't belong to any form of organised religion, and consider myself somewhat agnostic, but at no point on here have I said anything about being an atheist.

    Making things up to try to win an argument - DEFINITELY the sign of someone who can't use logic and reason I'm afraid. Muppet <doh>

    Have a **** day <ok>

    Marks & Spencer has apologised after a Muslim member of staff refused to sell a customer alcohol.

    The retailer said that where employees have religious beliefs that restrict what foods or drinks they can handle, it tries to place them in a "suitable role".

    An M&S spokeswoman said: "We regret that in the case highlighted we were not following our own internal policy."

    The issue arose after an unnamed customer at a London store told the Telegraph they were "taken aback" when an "extremely apologetic" Muslim checkout worker asked for them to wait for another till to become available.

    The customer told the newspaper: "I had one bottle of champagne, and the lady, who was wearing a headscarf, was very apologetic but said she could not serve me. She told me to wait until another member of staff was available.

    "I was taken aback. I was a bit surprised. I've never come across that before."

    Drinking alcohol is forbidden in Islam, and some Muslims refuse to handle it.

    M&S said its policy applied to staff of other religions, not just Islam.

    The spokeswoman said: "Where we have an employee whose religious beliefs restrict food or drink they can handle, we work closely with our members of staff to place them in suitable role, such as in our clothing department or bakery in foods...

    "As a secular business we have an inclusive policy that welcomes all religious beliefs whether across our customer or employee base.

    "This policy has been in place for many years, and when followed correctly, we do not believe that it should compromise our ability to offer the highest level of customer service.

    "We apologise that this policy was not followed in the case reported."

    The case highlighted differences among retailers on whether religious staff should have to carry out certain jobs, the Telegraph said.

    Sainsbury's guidelines say that there is no reason why staff who don't drink alcohol or eat pork on religious grounds could not handle them, the paper said, while Tesco said it made "no sense" for staff who refuse to touch items for religious reasons to work on a till.

    Muslims working at Asda would not have to work on tills if they objected to handling alcohol, and Morrisons would "respect and work around anyone's wishes not to handle specific products for religious or cultural reasons", the paper added.

    Not making things up, just mixing you up with another loud foul-mouthed bigot who believes himself to be way more enlightened and intelligent than everyone else.

    BTW, people stopped using 'Muppet' as an insult in the last millennium <doh>

    What a vile, disgusting and ignorant thread. Honestly, immigrants of any colour or religion - I'd take them over the majority of ignorant knuckle draggers on here - and I'm sure many would agree. Serious. You are the people the country could do without and the biggest indication that 'this country has gone to the dogs'.

    True morons.

    I once went to a mans funeral & his son had compassionate leave from the army to attend.
    He was dressed in full dress uniform & went up to the local shop for a packet of baccy.
    The Pakistani feller refused to serve him because he was a soldier.

    Taking a word associated with the mentally handicapped and using it as a crude insult shows what a disgusting, ignorant knuckle-dragger you are.

    It's people like you that make me sick.

    I assume that claiming 'many other people would agree' with you makes you feel comfortable in the tiny deluded world in which you choose to live.
