I think Willow & Cashman were just making the point that the checkout bird saw the word 'Bible' and jumped to the conclusion that it was the Holy Bible and reacted accordingly.

I still believe what I said originally however. It's just a sensationalised tabloid warbling.

Re: M&S Muslim Refuses To Serve 'Unclean' Bible
 

I've had a scout around the web for all the different stories about this and it would appear that it first appeared in the Telegraph and The Daily Mail - all the other papers and websites are reporting what they first read in the Mail, actually quoting that as their source in some cases.

The Mail and the Telegraph do report it slightly differently. The Mail sensationally says that she refused to serve the woman, this is clearly not the case as she was happy to serve her just not touch the book and put it into the bag. The Telegraph's wording is slightly different about the 'unclean' part and I'm tempted to agree with Willow on this one. Muslim women are seen as 'unclean' when they are menstuating therefore, she would not have wanted to touch her holy book or any other holy book at that time.

The fact that this story was first run in the Mail and Telegraph leads me to believe that the odds of the report being skewed are quite high!

Let me guess, 'The Guardian' is the font of all truthfulness and knowledge.:)

don't know you at all- but that aint breaking me heart.:rolleyes: the respect i was refering to is earlier in the thread (post32) i think. i for 1 aint no bible basher, but have respect for differant religions/people, so long as it aint shoved down me throat, i said if you knew more about respect, that IS NOT slagging you off, its as you have said an opinion.if ya wanna sulk about it- tough.:rolleyes:

Re: M&S Muslim Refuses To Serve 'Unclean' Bible
 

To be honest id take the whole story with a salt mine full of salt. It is in the end published by The Hate Mail...oops sorry i mean the Daily Mail, a paper that once supported Hitler.

Re: M&S Muslim Refuses To Serve 'Unclean' Bible
 

We as a country love the national holiday that hitler created and act like Nazi's for one day a year.

As for the story, its definately been manipulated to get a particular reaction, and the facts clearly are goig to have been completely different to what has been printed.

Re: M&S Muslim Refuses To Serve 'Unclean' Bible
 

just been reading this thread and it is interesting ... however i am not bothered who was right or wrong- but am wondering if M&S still has strong Jewish roots ?

Re: M&S Muslim Refuses To Serve 'Unclean' Bible
 

Michał Marks one of the founders of M&S was indeed jewish. He was also of polish decent i believe.

Re: M&S Muslim Refuses To Serve 'Unclean' Bible
 

i'm shocked that its taken so long for anyone to mention the fact m&s is a jewish owned company

what the hell was the muslim thinking workin for the infidels?!

behead her i say but only after she's put the bible in the bag...

Re: M&S Muslim Refuses To Serve 'Unclean' Bible
 

yep , same here , I've been wondering if Garindas bacon is kosher or Halal :D :D

Re: M&S Muslim Refuses To Serve 'Unclean' Bible
 

Oh yes, it's definitely Jewish. That why the Socialist Worker/PLO-supporting rentamob frequently picket Manchester M&S.
