Muslim-only day at Britain's biggest fun park

Unlike the Muslims' Day at Six Flags, this one really is for Muslims only. "Muslim-only Alton Towers," from The Sun (which cluelessly bills this as a "race row"), with thanks to all who sent this in:

BRITAIN’S biggest fun park has sparked a race row — with a MUSLIMS-ONLY day.

Up to 28,000 are expected at Alton Towers on September 17 when there will be no music, booze or gambling.

Instead there will be prayer areas, Muslim stalls and all food served will be HALAL.

Organisers Islamic Leisure have billed it the First National Muslim Fun Day and tickets can only be bought through their website.

Non-Muslims phoning the Staffordshire park have been refused tickets.

One, George Hughes, 19, who rang up for 15 tickets for a pal’s birthday, said: “I couldn’t believe it.

“It’s the only day we can go, yet I can’t because I’m not Muslim. Can you imagine all the fuss if there was a Christians-only day?”

George, of Crayford, Kent, added: “My Muslim friends think it’s outrageous.

“What’s the world coming to when people are being banned from flying the St George’s flag yet this sort of day is allowed? If it must be held, then why not on a weekday rather than a busy weekend?”

The event is widely promoted on the internet and the Muslim Public Affairs Committee declared it “exclusively for our brothers and sisters”.

But some Muslims have condemned the idea. One university student on a Muslim website forum said: “It’s hardly encouraging integration.”

Another said: “What next . . . an all Muslims shopping day out in the Trafford Centre in Manchester?”

Abid Hussan of Islamic Leisure insisted the day was open to all faiths, although Islamic laws would apply.

Dhimmis welcome. Just don't dare openly display wine or pork.

He added: “There will be no smoking, no alcohol and halal food only.

“We’re trying to get Muslims to go to this day because they wouldn’t normally go somewhere like Alton Towers. We’re trying to integrate Muslims into the wider community. People can come down and see the way we live. It will be a peaceful family environment.”

Except people can't come down and see the way they live, because they won't be able to get in.

So instead of an Aunt Sally they have a "stone the adulteress" stall.

Anyway, I thought there wasn't supposed to be any fun in Islam. And the burkha isn't all that practical on the log flume.

I went to Alton Towers once. There was a song playing as you went in:

Alton Towers, Alton Towers
You'll have fun for hours and hours

If you liked the song you could buy a tape of it, but I didn't bother.

I wonder if the Black Hole is still going. This used to be a seriously scary rollercoster ride in the dark. Perhaps these days it is just a mock-up of Mecca.

I wonder if it will be full of males only. I'm sure they don't want their women out having fun, or taking a chance on their burka's getting caught on something and being flung out of the roller coaster. (ohhh nooo...abdullah's third wife just sailed over the halal hot dog stand!! Without her burka!!!! Time to go shopping for another breeder!)

Do they stop the roller coaster at the precise time to pray?? Or the kiddie rides?

If all faiths are welcome, but islamic laws apply, this is dangerous for non covered women, single women, little girls, little boys and Jews.

Are they going to have booths set up to show non muslims how they kill their food. Delightful. Insightful. How women are treated? How FGM is done on girls and women?

This is a little crazy, but, on the other hand, enlightning to non muslims.

Sort of like a zoo. I like it. I hope they have one where I live someday. Gives a whole new meaning to "wildlife."

My knowledge of everyday British life is limited to what I have learned from Fawlty Towers, Keeping Up Appearances, Monty Python and and Bottom. About all I learned was the British slang word for a condom. So, I'm going to guess that Alton Towers is a Six Flags over the UK.

One of my favorite shows was Yes Minister. Thanks to BBC America.

There will be a darkened boat ride called Aisha's Love Canal, where elderly men dressed in Middle Eastern pajamas can fondle their prepubescent fiancees.

People, go in, dress as Muslims, practise the Shahada, they want to spoil everything we do, they want to get involved and show their faces in British affairs, make everything "inclusive". Make it multicultural. Do what they would do if it was a Christian only or British only fun day.

americaningermany, Be Calmm, this is a chance for MI5 and Scotland Yard to photograph a lot of Muzzies.

Well, I was planning to take my daughter for a day at Alton Towers someday soon. No chance of that now. I will never, ever go anywhere near the place.

Posted by: enemyofislam [TypeKey Profile Page] at July 3, 2006 6:40 PM

I can just imagine a roller coaster on that day. The front cars got men in white robes, and the back cars are a sea of black ghosts. And the male children are holding the drinks on the ground. The female children are not there. They are at home scrubbing the blood off the floor from the mutiliation that was just performed before they left for the park.

I hope it was on the same day as their Gay Pride Day.

Posted by: Bohemond_1069 [TypeKey Profile Page] at July 3, 2006 8:22 PM

Will they remove all toilet paper from the park that day?

(They can bring their own three rocks can't they?)

But they'll need to re-name the place Ass-Fawlty Towers.

The new Mecca of Merry-Olde-England.

The guy connected with organising the event was interviewed on the radio last night: keeping ot general, he said it was a good idea for minority groups to enjoy a family day out without having to witness anything that they found offensive. The impression given was that non-Muslims weren't barred - he said that lots of English people were concerned about too much drinking going on everywhere, as well and might enjoy a day where it was barred. It's a typical Muslim response to infidel societies: they don't just abstain from pork and alcohol and insist on modest dres - they find seeing other people do these things 'offensive'.

"Islamic law will apply"????

Muslims now feel free to declare British law inoperative?

I fear much more then the camel's nose is under the UK tent.


Posted by: treehugger [TypeKey Profile Page] at July 3, 2006 9:02 PM

I'm really tempted to march into a whatever park in Saudi Arabia or Pakistan and announce, today, only western constitutional law will apply!

Of course, I'd be nothing but a wet spot on the pavement a few minutes later-tolerance being a one way street in the muslim world.

A fun park in my city tried this once. They had "specials" on all festivals, Deepawali, Christmas, New Year's Day, etc. This year they carried out an ad for an eid "Special". They did not get any muslims for muslims had to bang heads 5 times especially on eid, and the rest of the people stayed off the park for the next 6 months or so. They are still struggling to make the crowds come.

The right thing is to:

- Boycott Alton Towers.
- Protest the discrimination.

Then, watch Muslims kill Alton Towrers with kindness.

Imagine this.

The roller coaster get stuck upside down at the top of the loop. The islamics cling on for dear life with the burkas and hajibs flapping in the wind.

An islamic student in this early 20s, Yousef, keeps his skull cap pressed to his forehead with his left hand while gestering to God with the other. "Allah, most merciful, help us. Mohammand is your messenger!"

The man next to him, his uncle, Ali Mohammad, says, "I should have known this zionist roller coaster would stop like this. There's a Jew at the controls. I can feel it."

Another muslim is more humbled.

"Oh Allah most merciful, get me out of this. I promise to be a better muslim. I know I haven't gone to mosque a lot lately, but that will change. I swear. I want to be a better person - and a better muslim. If I get out of this, I promise to take up jihad and kill many unbelievers."

Another upside down muslim, a local imam, pushes his beard out of his face. "Damn that kafir Bush. There's a crusader at the controls! I can feel it"

From a few cars back, a woman shouts from under a veil, "Allah will not be mocked in this manner. Even though we are in England, America will pay! They love theme parks. But we love death!"

From another car, a Jamaican convert looks at his watch. "Oh, man, itiz time to pray, man, but me so confused. Which way is Mecca? Allah, have mercy on me if I shud pray in de wrong direction."

Then, one of the muslims falls out.

Allaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!

"Ahmed fell out!", exlaims the student.

"Worry not, Yousef." says his uncle. "It is the will of Allah. He was a bad muslim!"

"What if I fall out?"

"Then you are a bad muslim. This is the test of Allah. Those that fall out, fall into a pit of hell fire."

"Allah? I thought you said this was the work of the Jews?"

"Ah, er...don't confuse me. I'm upside already!"

"We’re trying to integrate Muslims into the wider community." - Abid Hussan of Islamic Leisure

"Integration" = 28,000 Moslems on a day trip to the funfare? That can't be right. He must've meant: "We're trying to integrate the wider community into Islam"..?

Does anyone know, are there any bigger dhimmis in the world than the British?

This country must hate itself, I can't imagine what committing civilizational suicide must be like, but I believe we're witnessing the Brits do it.

Actually, it sound like it would be a great day out for the family. Just remember to smuggle in lots of alchohol and pork pies. And ride the roller coaster dressed in the full burka. That WOULD be funny.

Posted by: Mr Krabs [TypeKey Profile Page] at July 3, 2006 11:58 PM

Sounds like a great opportunity for the authorities at Scotland Yard to get the mug shots of 28k potential terrorists.

I am tired of their special treatment. In canada muslim women are allowed to go into shopping malls with their friggin ninja masks. Why can't I walk in with a Balaklava? This is the real racism.

Assuming those loving Mohammedans get this, will they stay away for the rest of the year?

Too bad no "Only Infidels allowed" can be started anywhere.

“We’re trying to get Muslims to go to this day because they wouldn’t normally go somewhere like Alton Towers. We’re trying to integrate Muslims into the wider community. People can come down and see the way we live. It will be a peaceful family environment.”


So can someone explain to me how this A) Integrates muslims into the wider community and B) Allows "people to come down and see how we live"

I am confused, how can these two points possibly be true when they will not allow non-muslims to buy the tickets?

I am watching the news right now about how the poor muslim community is not being engaged in Britain since they attacked and murdered British citizens last year. Sidique Khan is suggesting in his friendly chubby faced manner that we need to give muslims even more preferential treatment.

What the hell is wrong with the people who allow this? They are so terrified of being accused of racism/intolerance/islamophobia that they allow this sort of thing to happen. How dare they demand more preferential treatment as a result of their members murdering innocents? What message does that send? They have set a precedent that when we get attacked again (and I'll bet we will) they will imediately jump up and down about how we had the chance to give them special treatment so brought the attacks on ourselves.


If you aren't prepared to live as a British citizen first and foremost then GO TO AN ISLAMIC COUNTRY.

We must have an immediate ban on immigration from muslim countries, specifically through marriage. The invasion is gaining ground and our government does nothing.

"Tony Blair"

For the next ten thousand years, for all true Britains, this will be the most reviled name...

His grave will be spit on...

Posted by: SCV [TypeKey Profile Page] at July 4, 2006 4:13 AM

Once again, the muslims show their true camillion (sp)colours, speaking with forked tongues, as and when it suits them. Looks like it will be the end for that park. Maybe it can be exclusively for muslims only. The rest of parks and fairgrounds for all of the infidels - no muslims allowed. Now, that would be fun!!!
A HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY AMERICA!

I fear your government is complicit.
Remember Blair's backgound is Socialist..or was it Communist?
What a great way of bringing down a nation...preying on the better nature of a countries citizens to open the gates in sympathy to the barbarian hordes.

The whole of Europe is being betrayed by its leaders IMO.

I went to Lightwater valley theme park in Yorkshire several years ago. This place was part of a pig farm, and punters could go into the huge pig stye, pen thing and watch the little piggywinkles suckling, whilst eating their pork pies.
Now theres no mention of pigs, past and present on there websites. In fact they now pretend it was a former 'strawberry farm'(maybe it was, but the theme was always pigs)
I wonder why they would do that?

Also, I hope Alton Towers has a thorough inspection before they let the kafir children in again after their 'muslim day'!
