Six Flags asks workers not to wear shorts on Muslim Day
It’s Muslim Day at Six Flags Magic Mountain on Saturday and Santa Clarita resident A.J. Jones is curious to know if the park hosted other religious events in the past.
This is Magic Mountain’s first year hosting Muslim Family day. It is far from its first time hosting a religious event, said park spokeswoman Sue Carpenter.
"I think it’s great as long as they open it up to everyone," said Jones, whose friend works at the park.
Jones is concerned the park’s supervisors asked the employees to wear pants Saturday to cover their legs despite the unusually high heat. "I think its kind of strange," Jones said. "It’s been so hot for pants."
But Carpenter said not to worry.
"Out of respect, we request the employees wear their uniform pants, instead of their shorts," Carpenter said. "It is only a request, it is not mandatory."
The Islamic Circle of North America requested the day as a celebration for end of Ramadan....
Just watch. It's a request this time around. But in the future, we can expect a mandatory dress code for infidels when in the presence of Moslems, maybe during all of Ramadan. Watch for that step in Europe first, then here in the United States.Farfetched? I don't think so. After all, the West has already made dhimmitudinal concessions which were unthinkable just two or three years ago.
By the way, when I ran spellcheck on this posting, the word "Moslems" came up as an error. It isn't.

BBC inundated with complaints after EastEnders shows Muslim snacking during Ramadan
" The BBC has received more than 100 complaints after EastEnders showed a Muslim breaking their Ramadan fast by eating a snack on the soap opera.
It is believed that a large number of Muslims were angered by the recent storyline involving character Masood Ahmed claiming it insulted their religion.
The married Asian postman, played by Nitin Ganatra, was spotted by wheel-chair bound character Ian Beale having a bite to eat during the holy month.
During Ramadan, which ended earlier this week, Muslims are not meant to eat or drink between the hours of dawn and sunset. The plot was meant to show the character's 'fallibility' according to bosses, but it seems to have backfired with a number of the soap's loyal viewers.
As a result of the short scene, aired earlier this month, the corporation received about 110 complaints amid claims it had been wrong and offensive. Some complained that it had trivialised a very serious religious experience while others are understood to have said it was not realistic. Now the BBC has been forced to issue a statement saying it did not mean to cause any offence by the storyline.
A BBC spokesman said: 'Although Masood is a practising Muslim he is not intended to be representative of the British Muslim experience.
'He's a fictional character with flaws who realises he has let himself down in a moment of weakness.' The soap showed the character being repentant for what he had done. The row comes as the soap is facing controversy over another of its current storylines. The BBC has received more than 200 complaints about the plot in which a paedophile grooms a 15-year-old girl."

- I wonder how many complaints they'd get for a storyline about a Muslim pedophile grooming a nine-year-old girl ... 'Jewel of Medina' TV serialisation?
Screw their clothes requirements. I demand that Muslims respect my ass by getting down on their knees and kissing it.
Out of respect? "F" that! Under no circumstance should an employee risk sun or heat stroke and remain responsible for maintaining a safe experience on some highly technical amusement rides for these ingrates.
Where's the f'n union? Where's the Amusement Park's Insurance carrier?
«Out of respect, we request the employees wear their uniform pants, instead of their shorts,» Carpenter said. «It is only a request, it is not mandatory.»
D-I-S-G-U-S-T-I-N-G!
O-U-T-R-A-G-E-O-U-S!
I, a Western, I am f-e-e-l-i-n-g very, very, very offended!!!
Damien,
Why does Six Flags even get away with having a Muslim family day? If they had a Christian Family Day, the country would be in an uproar.
Well, it's the double standard, I guess.
Consistency goes right out the window!
Pastorius,
Screw their clothes requirements. I demand that Muslims respect my ass by getting down on their knees and kissing it.
Announce 10 minutes in advance so as to draw a crowd?
