Halibut Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 But then that would exclude those who like to drink alcohol when socializing. Please say well they don't have to go then.... It quite clearly wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Sidney Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I think this is one of the reasons that Muslims and none Muslims do not intergrate as they should. After leaving school both sections drift apart... We should be encouraging young people to socialize together rather than segregate... There's no sport playing together, no watching sport together, no clubbing, no pubbing, no dancing, no festival visits together.... Young people have nothing in common. No wonder we have problems..

Halibut Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 You cant just say that, It quite clearly would put some people off. I can just say that. Frank's rather silly claim was that some people would be excluded. They quite plainly wouldn't. As you suggest, some hardcore boozers might be disinclined to attend an event where there was no alcohol being served. In no sense would they be prevented from attending though.

melthebell Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 You cant just say that, It quite clearly would put some people off. why would it? say youve got 3 bars in a uni, and they make one alcohol free, obviously people who want a drink can still go to 2 bars, whats it matter if theres 2 or 3? and believe it or not theres more than just muslims who dont drink, somebody might want to go just sit with a coffee and read a book in a comfortable surrounding, rather than sat in a room full of drunken shouting, laughing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrod Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 They aren't stopping anybody drinking. Are you saying they should abandon their religion & start drinking because some other people like a drink?No, nothing of the sort, but if they want to be British and part of Britain, they should be comfortable in the presence of others who are drinking.

Right OK then well some muslims might be disinclined to attend an event where there is alcohol being served but in no sense are they excluded.

In much the same way that a minority group are not prevented from attending when other people are drinking. If I planned to attend a social function in the evening, I'd most likely expect to have a drink. Having the event made dry to pander to a religious minority would be irksome.
