we holidayed in the red sea a few years ago during ramadan and the waiters didnt seem to be bothered by our eating breakfast or consuming alcholic drinks in front of them

What a joke!
If I went to a predominantly Muslim country I'm sure I'd see things that offend me. Would I expect them to change their ways just because I was there? Why should it be any different when muslims live in a predominantly christian / secular country?
This is how we do things here. If you can't deal with it ..... Go forth and multiply. >:(

Why doesn't it surprise me :(
-
I had to check the date ... but it's not a joke is it ... :(
PC gone absolutely bloody mad.
:(
-
Yep I checked the date as well ;D
- so no ham sandwiches because it will offend Jews
- in fact no meat at all because it offends veggies
- no eating at all in Lent
(-only mince pies at Christmas :))
etc.....
what a lot of tosh.
Actually I think this is doing the Muslims population no good at all. I'm sure 99% of those working in a secular environment have no issue at all, but this kind of nonsense just stirs up a hostile feeling to all Muslims regardless of their views.

>:( Its are country, why are they moaning, if you dont like it, get the hell out!!!! >:(
Sorry, makes me so angry :y
-
Why don't we all break off from this country and just leave it to the Muslims and other ethnic communities and they can do what they bl00dy well like then!! >:( >:(
Sorry, I'm not a racist but I'm pi$$ed off the way we bend over backwards in this country to accommodate customs and traditions that are nothing to do with our own customs and traditions.
Would we get the same treatment in their countries? Ha ha.....no way!!

Sad and sorry state of affairs I'm afraid.
And it is only gonna carry on getting worse for the true Brits among us >:( >:( >:( >:(

Seriously here in Ramadan in small cities you cant find even an open restaurant unless its a turistic zone..And many people like me really suffer...
In job, many people do stay hungry (nearly 60-70 %)..And when I smoke and eat believe me its not comfortable..
-
Personally I'd look upon eating in front of people fasting as fun - if they are hungry they can eat!!!!

Just remind me what country i live in :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/

Why -- oh why should we have to put up with this cr*p ---- if we respect their wish not to eat -- then they should respect our wish TO eat.

the new guidance comes in the wake of the failed attempt to blow up an airport. We have to brown nose to avoid being blown up, nice

This is getting ridiculous now. This will just get worse and worse because people at the top are so sh*t scared of saying "no way , this is our country and adapt or get out" in fear of being branded racist. It is this government and its ways that is breeding racism as true brits are absolutely fed up of being told to change this and change that. Perhaps we should get a few muslims in teh same room and tell them they have to pray to the north instead. I wonder if they would???? NO WAY!
-
it was reported in the (sensationalist ?) press last week that a restaurant owner in scotland was caught doing 65 in a thirty.he gave 2 reasons why the court should let him keep his licence.the first was that his business would suffer,the second reason was that as a muslim he had 2 wives who lived quite a way from each other and he needed to spend alternate nights with each of them.now considering that having more than one wife is a criminal offence (bigamy)in the u.k. it may not have been advisable to raise this matter as he could have ended up in much worse trouble,well for whatever reason he didnt get in more trouble,in fact he didnt even lose his licence.could it be that when the archbishop of canterbury said recently that we would at some point have to consider some accommadation of sharia law that events had already overtaken him ? :-/

I'm a Scot living in Ireland but before moving here 4 years ago I lived for 15 years in Bedfordshire. I was back over late last year and couldn't believe the change in the place.
I absolutley deplore the way minorities are changing Britain by threat intimidation and stealth.
The country I grew up in is gone and it breaks my heart.... :(
-
I bet 99.9% of Muslims don't care and that most problems are from middle upbringing socialist whites

I am curious .... I am not up on Jewish religious practice, but isn't there some tenet by which they are not allowed to use mechanical or electrical devices before sunset on their sabbath ( or the night before?) -- in which case, to be fair and consistant ... if we can't eat in order not to offend muslim colleagues, we should also not work on the Jewish sabbath in order not to be anti semetic.
AND ... should we all take several wives so as not to offend the mormons among us ??
etc etc etc

your better off in kerry,ive seen a bit of the world but nowhere more beautiful than kerry :)

All this cr*p that we are being subjected to gets right up my kyber!
I'm gonna spend all my time offending as many ethnic minorities as possible and be as unpolically correct as I can (believe me I am good at it).
With any luck I might just drive a few of the berks out of our country!
Sod 'em all!!!

Daily Express do tend to exgagerate the truth i wouldn't personally believe what they print ,they tend to print a load of crap. Most Muslims wouldn't care at all.
-
True. Although anything is believeable these days you've got to remember to take most of the sh!te the media stir up with a pinch of salt.

I'm honestly not racist but the whole issue has turned full circle. God forbid we eat a Ham sarnie & offend some one for breaks sake. :(
If we wanted to go & live where ever it is they no longer want to we'd quite rightly have to live by the laws of thier land no matter how extreme (when in rome). So why do we bend down & take it up the a**e when all they want to do is blow us up anyway.
It's about time we stopped being pussies. If they want to live here ok but play by our rules. This is why many don't vote.
No backbone, none of 'em. >:(

a couple of days a go i was chatting to a man of the cloth and the subject turned to the different interpretations of the way each religion sees God. After a good long talk he decided, there is going to be a race war and the catalyst will be religion .

yep..good idea..feel hungry now ::)

I'm not a racist either but this country has gone so far downhill so fast that we have to get soft turds in charge out and the only vote that I can see worth making is for the BNP, should scare the sh*t out of the Brown hatters with any luck and make them rethink their useless and dangerous policies before it is too late for us all!!!

i think the reason that religion gets dragged into most conflicts could be because if people are devoted to a religion and you join your political cuase onto the religion then they will follow the politics fanatically as well ,even to the point of killing themselves,especially if you convince them that they will have a very special place in their version of heaven in the afterlife :(

Any nearby caravan sites?

.... but think of all those religious holidays we can ALL enjoy !!!!

Hmm I know CofEs, Catholics, Jews, Hindus, and Sihks, all seem fine and take the mickey out of a few.
I'm like most people still, in the UK B.D.M. CofE (only go to Births, Deaths, Marriages)
As to mickey taking, the ban on marriage in the Catholic religion and the real reason for it (financial) is fun.
Jews, I know a few and they all eat whatever they want and one has intact bits. From what I know they are one of the few minorities who go out of their way to assimilate into a country while keeping their own traditions.
Hindus, most people form the Indian sub continent I know are Hindu, they have bright coloured religious posters in their offices and are basically very colourful.
The Sihk I know well is fully assimilated and hates India - it is a dump he said, he doesn't have a turban and told me about their names Sighn (sp) is an honourific used like UK uses Mr.
But basically most people who have moved to the UK or are born to immigrants do like the country and do consider themselves British.

Would we get the same treatment in their countries? Ha ha.....no way!!
When I was young we lived in Saudi Arabia and it was a right hoot. Christmas was officially banned but if they dont see it.....
Once they were invited to this minister's house whom they had met through a friend of a friend, you know the score. When asked what they would like to drink me dad asked for tea and my mum asked for Orange juice to which the minister replied....
"Lynn, you're a G+T girl aren't you?" and rolled out a trolley of spirits!
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Sorry but in my opinion if these people wish to live in england then they should be adapting to follow our traditions not the other way round. we did not ask them to come over here if hey do not like us eating at desks or whatever then they should go back to where they came from. next thing they will stop the hot dog vans from selling in case it offends.

[Grumpy hat on](http://www.pug306.net/forum/style_emoticons/default/gun2.gif)(http://www.pug306.net/forum/style_emoticons/default/ranting.gif)
Positive discrimination in the country is bloody stupid. I think I've said this before, but, about 12 years ago, I was in Virgin Megastore on Corporation St in Birmingham and I come across a section called "Black Music". Now haven't got a racist bone in my body (I have a multi-cultural family background), but I found this to be a step too far. It was the first time I had seen anything like this.
So, I went to the counter and asked for the "White music" section. After an argument with the Manager about it being racist, I was escorted out of the shop by several security guards (as I'm not a small person myself, I think they were a bit scared).
Now, this kind of attitude is commonplace. The country is so obsessed with not offending anyone that the common white-folk are being treated as second-class citizens.
Why can't everyone be trested as equals? If people don't like it here, go somewhere else? For instance, when I was at school (a long time ago now), my school had a large Irish content (in fact, there were only two in my class that wasn't Irish decent including me). I was forever getting Ireland this and Ireland that from all my friends and their parents. They would constantly go on about how great a Country Ireland is (and I do agree as I've been there - it's lovely). But my question to them was always, and still is, "If it so great there, why did you come to this 'poo-hole' of a country?".
I must admit, if I was given the opportunity to move to another country, I would seriously consider it IF IT WAS FOR A BETTER LIFESTYLE!!!!. I wouldn't go to another country and still expect to live my life according to Englands' rules and cultures.
I don't expect to be treated any different to anyone else in this country, regardless of where they came from, so why should anyone else?
I dare say that there are people out there in Omegaland that will agree or disagree with me and that's their right. That's what England what it is - freedom (supposedly) ::)

What is black music?
Is it the Blues?
Is it (c)Rap?
Is it Ladysmith Black Mambasa?
What a stupid title for a section!
Where was Hendrix?
There have been talented black musicians for ever they play all sorts of music, so should be mixed by music type!
Actually I can't think of any music type with no black musicians except glam metal and New Romantics.

there was a black guy in Culture Club.... really not sure what category they fell into tho ;D!
These days 'black' music is 'music of black origin' (MOBO - there's even a specific awards ceremony!) but doesn't have to be performed by black people. Indeed controversial but I think Wiki have it right
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOBO_Awards
and http://www.mobo.net
Having said that, it's mostly 'Urban' music, and ladysmith most certainly don't come from the urban scene!
Anybody can perform anything, it's just laying claim to a certain style of music that can enable awards, marketing and hence sales. it's the only reason we have so many categories of music!!

These people have made the choice to be Muslim, they have made the choice to not eat for 30 days or whatever, so why the hell should we have to be put out of our way for something they have chosen to do??
On a slightly different note, would it become a national holiday for Eid? If the Muslim community have a holiday then I should expect one myself - seeing as they enjoy a Christmas break each year.
Rant over - very touchy subject imo.

Bit late in on this thread but what the opps is OUR country coming too >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

What an absolute joke, what annoys me is they are all very well entitled to their relegion etc. But it is our country and they choose to come here why should we have to change our ways :-?
