Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UK: Pensioner banned from shop because Muslim found it more important to pray than to serve her

Feb 6, 2019 1:00 pm By Joshua Winston

When the West clashes with Islam, Islam always wins. A disabled woman was made to wait in a queue in her local post office while a Muslim server was on his knees behind the counter saying his prayers. The owner of the shop defended the Muslim and banned the disabled woman, who has to use a mobility scooter, from ever entering the store again. This will necessitate a disabled lady in a scooter having to travel afar in order to collect her pension.

When she complained at having to wait for so long without being attended to, the Muslim shopworker leaped up from behind the counter and told her: “How dare you speak to me that way.” The owner of the store says the Muslim has every right to take five minutes out of his day to say his prayers. This might be store policy, but surely the owner of the shop should have other staff members there to accommodate the needs of the people who patronize the store. The pensioner now has to be driven by her daughter to a post office further away.

This isn’t the first time that a Muslim’s needs have come before the needs of customers and people in their care. In 2012, a woman died because a Muslim nurse refused to help her because he was praying.

“Shop ban for disabled pensioner after row with man praying at work,” by Ciaran Duggan, Lancashire Telegraph, January 17, 2019:

A DISABLED pensioner has been banned from her local post office after a row with a worker who was praying during his shift.

Retired hairdresser Sue James had an argument with the staff member who she said was praying behind the counter instead of serving customers at Premier Feniscowles convenience store in Blackburn.

The 70-year-old, who rides a mobility scooter, had cross words with the Muslim worker after she said he left her standing at the counter for five minutes as she tried to collect her pension.

She told him: “It’s not a church, this is a post office.”

The post office worker, who claimed Mrs James was being abusive, received support from his manager Adam Bux, who backed his decision to ban her.

The Feniscowles grandmother, who has arthritis, arrived to pick up her weekly pension from the Preston Old Road post office on January 4.

Mrs James left her scooter outside the shop, as she was unable to take it into the store with her, and stood at the counter waiting for several minutes ‘in pain’ but with no one to serve her.

The mum-of-one muttered out loud, ‘This is b****y ridiculous’ before a member of staff ‘jumped up’ from behind the counter and told her: “How dare you speak to me in this way?”

After a heated row with the staff member, she was told to leave the shop and never return.

Mrs James, who lives alone in sheltered accommodation five minutes away at Lingfield Court, said: “I stood there waiting for five minutes and said ‘this is b****y ridiculous’, when out of the blue a man jumped up off the floor.

“He told me not to speak to him like that because he was praying. I was shocked. I told him it’s not a church, it’s a post office.”

The former Chorley hairdresser now has to travel to the next nearest post office, two miles away in Mill Hill, to collect her pension….

    Poor woman. He was waiting for a victim, a target for his moslim abuse to attack with his arrogance and his superiority he feels over others, esp never moslim women.

    It’s really sad that the UK has gone so far to worship of the wild beast that he gets away with this. She should not have to go further away to get her money she worked for, while he takes money to “prey.”
    Too bad she can’t sue him and the manager.

      “Adam Bux “ is a Muslim name. It is likely that the owner of the sub Post Office is a Muslim as well hence his response of banning the customer for complaining

      • gravenimage says

        Feb 8, 2019 at 12:01 am

        Cicero, Bux appears to be an Anglo-Saxon name:

        https://forebears.io/surnames/bux

        Of course, this doesn’t mean that he is not Muslim. He could be a Mohammedan, or a dhimmi enabler of Islam.

      As a Limey in the UK all the Muslims do (in no particular order) –

      1) 75 percent of employable aged women ARE unemployed. The men – 60 percent.
      2) they drive Uber and/or mini cabs hoping to molest drunken women.
      3) they open up fast food chains which THEY have culturally appropriated – ie derivative chicken shops, pizza places even fish and chips – which is now becoming, increasingly a normality via. Turks.
      4) they open faux Indian curry houses – in the UK alone, 95 percent of supposed Indian curry houses are Muslim Bangladeshi. These people are parasites. They bring them over from abroad – they allege they’re in education, but solely work in these aforementioned curry houses!

      P.S – they ALL sell you halal meat!!!

    The world unfortunately is full of cowards who will allow this sort of thing to continue. Sadly, this woman was not accompanied by a large male family member who would have picked the praying mantis up by his elevated arse and told him to serve the disabled customer or he would kick him clear back to Mecca. And come back next day to finish the job had he complained.

    She should be able to sue him and the manager, but probably would not find a lawyer with the fortitude to take on a case against one of our new Mussie Masters.

      Payment of pensions via the Post Office is actually a n extension of govt. services. She cannot be banned from receiving her pension at a Post Office The manager is exceeding his authority

      • b.a. freeman says

        Feb 7, 2019 at 10:41 pm

        good luck getting the government to enforce THAT one, BC. remember, there were *LOTS* of government functionaries who went out of their way to ignore thugs raping little girls in UKistan, so there is no way they will enforce the rules in this case. islam trumps dhimmi, every time.

        f***ing leftists; f***ing pious muslims. eurabia will soon be just another collection of islamic s**thole nations.

          *Horrifying*, Morphy. No Christian or Jew would refuse to help their vulnerable charge because they were praying. What sort of God would want them to?

      • gravenimage says

        Feb 8, 2019 at 12:03 am

        True, BC–but as b.a. freeman notes, he will likely be able to get away with it in today’s Britain.

        I think Watto is referring to the old prank of ruining someone’s lock by gumming it up with superglue. This wouldn’t be nearly as bad as what these creeps did to their elderly and disabled customer.

        “This is how the frog in the pot gets boiled.”

        So too the lobster.

        Because of the fact that, at the heart of what we call “Islam” is a governing system, thus, into every nation that welcomes this alleged “religion,” into each of the said nations and their respective governing systems; whenever possible, adherents of “Islam” weave into those systems, the stands of Islam.

        Thus doing, the said adherents, bit by bit, anytime opportunity welcomes or allows for such, by hook or by crook , both openly and surreptitiously, they bend each Islam welcoming nation into becoming, first, Islam welcoming, next, Islam honoring, and in due time, Islam concordant.

        Resist? Complain? Pay the price thereof: terror hits, unexplained fires, “accidents,” in other words absorb acts of both open and silent (unclaimed, but known to the ummah) acts of terror—the punishment for resisting the advancement of the way of the Alleged Arabian “Prophet.”

        Simple basic Islam in action.

    My son worked at a doughnut shop for a while. You guessed it, owned and run by Muslims.
    First time prayer he witnessed – they turned off background music, store had many customers waiting but the Muslims dropped everything and yanked out the prayer mat.
    Allah -akbar.
    When over, the manager chewed out the rest of the employees for disturbing them.
    Second time prayer – repeat as first but had irate customer.
    Third time – son quit.

    Any British post office is operating on a knife-edge. This Adam Bux thinks he can afford to discard customers to signal his virtue, but his business will vanish soon enough – and let him find out then how sympathetic adherents of the RoP are to an unemployed postmaster.

    This woman and her daughter must complain vociferously to Royal Mail. These “post offices” which are in local stores are merely sub-post offices, which hold a licence from the Royal Mail to provide services. Complain about this as a lack of service and campaign for the licence to be taken away from this shop and given to another. They’re very lucrative licences – another shop in the village will want it.

    Muslim prayers are often full of hate. They are not like prayers of other religions.

  20. Agostino Armo Pellegrini says

    Feb 7, 2019 at 8:59 am

    Makes ya wonder how tolerant this muslim would be if roles were reversed, if he had to wait for a Christian to pray. I’d like to give this muslim the benefit of the doubt and believe he was on break, everyone deserves a break. But if he was there should have been a sign like, “Be back in x minutes after I pray to my demon.” But most likely he was acting arrogant with his religion and wanted to trap a customer, knowing that most customers will complain about the affront. And it worked, he “jumped up” like a jihad bunny and got intimidating, why are we not surprised. Everyone else is supposed to not mind being inconvenienced or humiliated or even murdered where their religion is concerned. We’re all supposed to smile with unconcern while these muslim rats rape our kids, consume our neighborhoods, kill our people, and subvert our schools and politics. And if we complain about all this we’re bigots and racists and uncaring islamophobes who should lose their jobs or be jailed or ostracized from “good” society.

    Basically this incident is religious discrimination in reverse. He is using his religious “devotion” as an excuse to publicly humiliate and inconvenience a customer. Everyone knows the uncomfortableness of waiting excessively for service, it’s both embarrassing and maddening. This incident is in keeping with the muslim mindset, their religion takes precedence over the rights and feelings of everyone else. He’s praying to a god with the morals of a bigoted serial killer, we shouldn’t be surprised that he is less than courteous. This rude muslim is not an aberration, he epitomizes all too well the arrogance and aggression muslims have about their religion. And this is reflected in everything they do, from the mass rapes to the cursive enclaves and the subverting of our society for islam every chance they get. This lady customer is lucky, she was only inconvenienced. Twenty years from now she’d likely end up raped, beaten, or dead.

    I wondered if that was the case. Back in the ’60’s, I picked up my mail from a PO inside a little store whee the owners of the store worked the PO counter.

    Being elderly, she likely feels helpless and stressed at the idea of what she could or should do. Perhaps someone will intervene on her behalf.

    This is highly symbolic of what has happened in the UK. The UK has abandoned Whites and is happily watching them die off and be replaced by uber-fertile Muslims, who despise the Whites whose money they are living off.

    • b.a. freeman says

      Feb 7, 2019 at 10:51 pm

      it’s not just white people, No; it’s *anybody* who is non-muslim. if the handicapped lady had been black, or latino, or hindu, it would still have been the same. people of *A*N*Y* other religion will gladly join the culture of the host nation, but not a muslim; no, the thug has to be sure that he cuts to the front of the line, gets his needs addressed first, and preferably at the expense of a non-muslim. islam is a gangsta cult; it’s what U would get if ms-13 were suddenly a religion (except that the islamic gangstas have been at it longer, and are better gang-bangers than ms-13).

      race has literally NOTHING to do with it; it’s all about the cult, and the gang-banger getting his share of the stolen loot and kidnapped sex slaves.

    The shopkeeper is only half right!Its reasonable for a Muslim man to want five minutes to say his prayers but couldn’t the manager have insisted he go into a back room to say them quietly and unobstrusively? Did the man have to make a big show of saying them behind the counter so anyone coming in would hear him? .If he heard the woman come in and kept her standing there he was just being rude and unkind.Jesus warned against big displays of piety when praying and said only the Father needed to hear them. In any event a Christian can offer to God his daily work whilst saying short exclamations to him/herself throughout the day.Even in how they pray there is is a vast difference between Islam and Christianity.

    • Anjuli Pandavar says

      Feb 8, 2019 at 10:11 pm

      Marigold,

      “Its reasonable for a Muslim man to want five minutes to say his prayers” — No, it is not reasonable. He does not *have* to say them there and then. He can defer them and say them later. In any mosque you can find lone worshippers catching up on prayers. No, it is more than five minutes *plus* it occurs twice in a normal working day.

      “couldn’t the manager have insisted he go into a back room to say them quietly and unobstrusively?” — 1. If the manager wanted even more trouble, then sure. 2. For the Muslim, what would be the point of that?

      “Did the man have to make a big show of saying them behind the counter so anyone coming in would hear him? — Yes, that is exactly the point of it.

      “If he heard the woman come in and kept her standing there he was just being rude and unkind.” — She is not a Muslim. He’s supposed to be rude and unkind. He was praying to the very entity that expects exactly that of him.

      “Jesus warned against big displays of piety when praying and said only the Father needed to hear them.” — Blasphemy!

      “In any event a Christian can offer to God his daily work whilst saying short exclamations to him/herself throughout the day.” — For now.

      “Even in how they pray there is is a vast difference between Islam and Christianity.” — Of that you can be sure.
