A MUSLIM store worker refused to serve a customer buying a children’s book on Christianity because she said it was “unclean”.
Shopper Sally Friday felt publicly humiliated at a branch of Marks & Spencer when she tried to pay for First Bible Stories as a gift for her young grandson.When she put the book on the check-out counter, the young assistant refused to touch it, declared it was unclean and summoned another member of staff to serve instead . . . .
. . . . “I am not racist but I have vowed never to let a person wearing a headdress serve me again. It will be a long, long time before I shop again at M&S.”
Mr Davies, Conservative MP for Shipley, west Yorkshire, said: “I find it unbelievable. We are a Christian country. I’m afraid it is no good for people to work in Marks & Spencer and not serve their products.
“For M&S to put one of their customers in that position is totally unacceptable. If a Christian lady had refused to serve a Muslim on religious grounds there would have been hell to pay.“In fact, I am sure someone would be sacked if it had been the other way round. But that won’t happen this time, will it? These kind of things do not do anything for community cohesion. In fact, they damage it.”
Seems to me that she should have been made to accept re-training or dismissal. It has got to be totally unacceptable that Muslims can be employed in positions where they can refuse to serve customers because of their religious beliefs. The list is growing. Muslims have refused to serve alcohol, tobacco, and contraceptives so far and now a childrens book that "mentions" the bible.
Sainsbury’s said it was keen to accommodate the religious beliefs of all its staff.
I wouldn't mind betting that what that really means is that Sainsbury's is keen to accommodate the beliefs of it's Muslim staff and only Muslim staff. If a CHRISTIAN girl said the KORAN WAS "UNCLEAN" and refused to touch or sell it, there would be flag burning in the streets.
A source close to the shop assistant claimed there had been a misunderstanding.“I think there was some confusion over what the customer heard,” she said.
Aaargh!! They would say that wouldn't they?

Just yesterday, I put up a post on an Iranian filmaker who was telling the world that Muslims love Jesus too. Of course, his idea of loving Jesus was to say that Judas died on the cross, but that's beside the point. Or, is it?
No, it's not.
Muslims hate Christianity, and this example you post here proves it.
Pastorius,
I saw that posting, but didn't have time to read it. Off to do that right now!
Jesus of bad hair in Iran, opens to weak reviews...Hard to know, since it was a government production. We should just make fun of it. A lot.
I guess that the overwhelming love for Jesus that muslims feel always lead them to beheading Christian school girls...Happy Eid.
Well, you'd behead Christian schoolgirls too, if they insisted that Jesus actually died on the cross, for God's sake.
Baby-shaggers try to silence textual analysts of the Koran who prove it is a human rather than divine document:

That clerk insulted a customer. That should be grounds for being put on notice at the very least, if not dismissal. Is the store doing anything but whining?
I wrote to M&S and suggested the employee receive immediate pschiatric care. Received toothless anodyne response. Nonetheless, I sense that this has shaken M&S, particularly at time when sales figures are unpredictable. In London, M&S has petro$-rich, vulgar arab hoards seeking its high-quality Western-designed clothing, so they don't want to upset these visiting goat-shaggers either.
