... and had he asked her to remove the scarf, he'd be accused of discrimination.
No wonder small business is dying. Can't win a trick.
You can be as stupid as you like - just find someone else to blame for the result.
Debate on Islam and evolution has to be called off after revolt by student societies
Muslim opposition highlights growing influence of creationism and literalist interpretations of the Koran
Organisers behind a British conference on Islam and evolution say they nearly had to cancel the event after receiving a torrent of opposition from Muslim students at one of the country’s top scientific universities, The Independent has leanred.
The Deen Institute, a Muslim debating forum which promotes critical thinking, had hoped to hold a conference entitled “Have Muslims misunderstood evolution?” early next year. Among the speakers invited to attend included Muslim scientists, imams who have promoted the compatibility of Islam and evolution as well as those who preach a form of Islamic creationism.
The initial plan was to hold the event next month at Imperial College London, one of the country’s foremost universities for scientific exploration and debate, in cooperation with the local Islamic student society. But the Deen Institute said it was forced to pull out when it became clear that opposition to the event from supporters of creationism began mounting. It is now being held without input from any Muslim student society at Logan Hall, a conference centre owned by the University of London.
“We eventually had to give up of getting any support from student societies because it was seen as simply too controversial,” Adam Deen, co-founder of the institute, told The Independent. Deen, who describes himself as a “conservative Muslim” who encourages critical thinking, said he was surprised to receive such opposition at a place of scientific study, particularly as he had made sure to invite all sides of the debate including those who preach creationism.
“It’s symptomatic of a bigger problem in the Muslim world where people representing practical Muslims have to be seen to be more literalist,” he said. “It’s almost like there’s an intellectual mafia movement who won’t allow any freedom of thought.”
In the Dark Ages, homosexuality was probably a waste of time and potential genetic variety; but in today's Age of Overpopulation, it should be appreciated as a means of population control. Problem is: the fundamental d**kheads (of all three book-based persuasions) are still stuck in the Dark Ages and undermine all the Gays' good efforts."The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals. That doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals. It's just that they need more supervision."

Christmas message written in sky above Lakemba Mosque in response to fatwa claims
The sky message comes after an Imam at Australia's biggest mosque reportedly issued a fatwa against Christmas, warning followers it is a ''sin'' to even wish people a Merry Christmas.

Hmm...

Special Programme - Dawkins on religion
Here's how it works:
As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part be regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens. This is the case in:
United States -- Muslim 0.6%
Australia -- Muslim 1.5%
Canada -- Muslim 1.9%
China -- Muslim 1.8%
Italy -- Muslim 1.5%
Norway -- Muslim 1.8%
At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. This is happening in:
Denmark -- Muslim 2%
Germany -- Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom -- Muslim 2.7%
Spain -- Muslim 4%
Thailand -- Muslim 4.6%
Welsh population | 3,006,400 (2010) |
Muslim population in U.K. | 2,869,000 (2010) |
Christians have no right to refuse to work on Sundays, rules judge
Judges have been accused of diluting the rights of Christians after a key judgment on whether they can refuse to work on Sundays.
A new ruling by a High Court judge - the first on the issue in nearly a decade - says that Christians have no right to decline working on Sunday as it is not a “core component” of their beliefs.

Does this mean, in the UK, when they try to bring in Sharia Law.....
It is said that "He" was wrongly translated as "D" , and "D" can walk upon water.
So I see no reason why you cannot buy a vowel.
I shall set up a derivative for godbothers who cannot spell.
Well picked burglar.

Will that derivative also cover godbothererbotherers?
