Muslim staff at Sainsbury allowed to opt-out of serving alcohol

[5150]

Anyone see this one?

Muslim checkout staff get an alcohol opt-out clause - Times Online

I've no race/religion issues but it strikes me as a bit of a joke that someone can take a job knowing they'll be exposed to something they disagree with, then not be sacked for breach of contract when they refuse to carry out their duties.

It's usually white, middle class, PC types that make these incredulous decisions...

Mr Corner Shop has no qualms selling underage kids booze

IMHO this would be deemed as quite patronizing to muslims

interesting and prefect example of the crazy times we live in

but tread carefully chaps - hope this thread doesn't end up descending into moderation

Makes me wonder how far it will go. Are we going to see hospital staff refusing to carry out a blood transfusion if it's against their religion?

It has become crazy though, if something goes against someone's beliefs work-wise then they surely shouldn't have taken the job in the first place. I had a chance of a job looking after animals when I was in my late teens, knocked it back because it was a research lab and much as I understood the need for the research I simply didn't feel it was something I could do...

It gets better and better.
If you're a white male heterosexual atheist who likes beach fishing you're on the bottom rung of the ladder of modern day society. You've got no rights whatsoever.
I tell you what I've had enough of this sh!te. I'm a non smoker but I'm seriously thinking about starting and then turning Muslim and bending over and getting my @rse shagged.

Absolute rubbish

The people you describe run this planet and you. Wake up and start picking on people your own size

thewestwind, lmfao!!! tears rolling here!
You missed from the list though, non-disabled, working, married, parents....
No offience to anyone not in those groups, or in them, or having a good go at getting in them... or well anything that I missed that you grabbing *******s will sue me for saying...

On Monday boy is my gaffer going to have a shock... I'm going to adopt the Amish ways and turn up to work on a horse. If they haven't got a stable or hitching post then I'll sue them for lack of parking provision on the grounds that I can't use public transport as the Government of this country does not provide a religious alternative and neither does my company. When I get in the office, well sorry but am I hell going to touch those fangled computer things - they're the devils work you know. If they crib about that and try to sack me, well I'll see them in a tribunal to sue them for discrimination against my new found religion and my human right to chose to change my views from not believing to believing that I can take the easy road because some twits provided a working test-case to the world.. Nice one Sainsbury..

Oil companies and religions run this planet last time I read the news. Thats why I stopped buying newspapers... I do miss the tits on page 3 mind. Though most of those worked for the latter.....

Religions are allowed to exist by the Godless white hetrosexual elites that own and control almost everything. Yes these people run the oil companies and everything else.

I concur

funny that they've never complained about selling/handling bacon though

There is absolutley no pig in British supermarket bacon, we all know it's water, sodium meatwhatever chloride and a few chemicalised sling backs (Eh?) most bacon is made from trees these days, many muslims use british supermarket bacon (bsb) as a face mask these days. That's true I read it in a paper.

The bacon bits true though

[Oblickta]

oooooh did u say sling backs?

Ooooh say it is green then say it again

I laugh at people who say (no offence to anyone) "I'm going to the Pakki's for some Tabs" lol,just because these shop owners look the same,I look the same as a Frenchmen because I'm white,they are quite often Indian and normally of different religion anyway and they are'nt the best of friends,there name is quite often a give away,you should'nt stereotype people for the colour of there skin.
I remember a peadeotrician getting a good kicking because he was a pervert
