Welcome to the New Britain! And remember: when cabbies in Minneapolis started refusing to carry customers with alcohol, this next step became entirely reasonable. There are many Sharia rules, and we are going to see increasing pressure in the West to accommodate ourselves to them.
“Muslim M&S worker refuses to sell ‘unclean’ Bible book to grandmother,” from the Daily Mail (thanks to all who sent this in):
A Muslim store worker at Marks & Spencer refused to serve a customer buying a children’s book on Christianity because she said it was “unclean”.
Sally Friday, a customer at a branch of one of the famous stores, felt publicly humiliated when she tried to pay for First Bible Stories as a gift for her young grandson.
When the grandmother put the book on the counter, the assistant refused to touch it, declared it was unclean and then summoned another member of staff to deal with the purchase.
Mrs Friday was so upset that she has now complained to the store’s manager.
Politicians and religious leaders supported her in condemning the high street chain and it has reignited the debate over religious beliefs in the workplace.
Conservative MP Philip Davies said the refusal to serve Mrs Friday, 69, was “unacceptable” and “damaging” to community relations.
Inayat Bunglawala, assistant secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain, described the assistant’s comments as “offensive” and called for Marks & Spencer to conduct an investigation.
He said: “This appears to be a very regrettable incident and the ‘unclean’ remark was clearly very offensive and unacceptable.
“Many Biblical stories complement the teachings of the Koran. We hope that M&S will investigate this incident.”…
The store clerk was likely acting in accord with Qur’an 9:28.
