I would like to see them try and bring something like that in where i work!
When its ramadam the muslims that work with us fast and we let them get on with it,simple!
We have been told recently at work that we are not allowed to cook bacon in the microwave any more because it is against their religion and somebody has complained about it!
Madness,sheer madness!

Is it not your right to heat up whatever you fancy for your lunch? I would be asking them to provide a second microwave for the 'others' or canteen facilities, I assume you have to put up with whatever others want to warm up? Sounds like a seperate room could be an idea, to preserve YOUR human rights!

I mentioned in another post about getting another microwave!
They haven't suggested it,we will have to bring it up and god knows if they will go along with it!
We don't have rights in an issue like this i'm afraid,if it had been the other way round there would have been an uproar and racist slurs being bandied about,we can't win unfortunately!

That is so out of order
If i was going in for an op that meant i couldnt eat for the previous day and thought that people eating in front of me would make it more difficult - I would take the day off work however i understand that ramadan is a fairly long time.
I know that part of the ramadan fast is a test of willpower - it wont be much of a test if nobody is eating would it.
Like you say the e-mail was probably sent by one of the councils PC guys - who was no doubt typing it on his laptop whilst sat in a lovely restaraunt filling his belly on company expense.
I feel sorry for muslims when things like this happen because it can cause them to feel singled out. I remeber when 9/11 happened were i once worked - all of the muslim workers were taken into an office and the mananger chatted to them about how they felt the community and how they were being treated ensuring that they were okay. Nothing was said to non muslim workers and the muslim workers were told not to discuss the agenda of the meeting.
after that all of the muslim workers sat together didnt integrate as much and were guarded. There was no reason why al staff couldnt have been talked to altogether as it affected everybody , no matter what your culture was .

This implies that you have less rights than others in this country, that in itself is a disgrace!

Your employers seem to be well out of order in this matter. It is disgusting IMO!!!

Wasn’t Tower Hamlets the first or one of the first local authorities to be infiltrated by immigrant councillors?

http://www.towerhamlets.gov.uk/data/your-council/index.cfm makes interesting reading.

And http://sps2ksrv.towerhamlets.gov.uk/MeetYourCouncillor/Members.aspx makes even more interesting reading where 31 of the 51 councillors have immigrant sounding names. What’s the betting that they are all devout Muslims?

I assume that the request (not TOLD as the Religious Affairs Correspondent Martin Beckford stated) was made by the ruling political party whose leader is a Councillor Lutfur Rahman who is also the Leader of the Labour Group. The reasoning behind the request is that 36% of the Tower Hamlet population follows Islam. Meaning that 64% do not. So Muslims are in the minority yet seem to have a majority representation at council level.

For many years now I have been of the opinion that Islam is infiltrating this country like some religious cancer and even made my views known on this forum. Only to be met with vilification and being called a racist. My claim that it is the sworn duty of every Muslim to promote the cause of Islam at every opportunity until the whole world follows Islam, was met with scorn, in spite of the fact that several Muslims have told me that it is true. Most Muslims only pay lip service to that edict but if push ever came to shove they would have to follow the party line so to speak.

Promoting Islam can be done by force or by stealth. I days of old it was done by force but that isn’t practical today so stealth it is. But how?

Create Muslim enclaves in targeted wards of towns and cities and get a councillor elected to office. A Muslim councillor is practically guaranteed a vote from all Muslims in his ward.

Make sure that the younger generation gets a good education so that they can get a job in the Town Hall, social services and the like.

Slowly but surely this country is being turned into a Muslim country, ward by ward, town by town and city by city and we are allowing it to happen. Nay not just allowing it but encouraging it by default and voter apathy.

Blackburn has 17 councillors out of 69 councillors with immigrant sounding names. Hmmm! It wasn’t all that long ago (1992) when there was just one. The Muslim community hasn’t quite gained control of the council but with 10 councillors as probable Muslims out of the 27 Labour (ruling party) councillors it won’t be long before it happens. Our current Mayor is Mohammed Khan elected as a councillor in 1992. See http://82.109.175.29/CMISWebPublic/CommitteeDetails.aspx?committeeID=123

How long before Blackburn follows a similar line to Tower Hamlets? Or Accrington, or Burnley, Bradford, Barnsley, Preston, etc. etc. etc.

I wonder how true this 'report' actually is?

As for the microwave thing, years ago we had 2 microwaves in a place that I worked at, one for meat eaters and one for 5 vegetarians that worked there. Seemed fair enough to me. I really don't see what the problem is if people don't want to heat their food in the same microwave where others have been cooking fatty bacon.

As for these people who use East Lancashire as a barometer for Islamic 'infiltration', then it's hardly representative of the country is it? Very poor use of statistics and flimsy evidence.

It is about time that the muslim population realised that their imposition of their customs on the rest of us, only serves to alienate us from them.

This 'starve with them at ramadam' thread is an example - also the wedding fireworks - also blatent disregard of parking restrictions on Blackburn Rd.

It all serves to stir discontent and encourage the racism that they complain about

That doesn't explain illegal fireworks and illegal parking
