Alton towers Muslim only day

[shankle]

Just wondering how people in sheffield feel about this

 

Now I'm catholic, but I have no problem with any other religions or agnostic/atheists

 

But... If there was a Christian only day at Alton towers, this would spark off a race war faster than you could say "can I get 2 tickets"

This is exactly why there has never been any kind of Christian/Jewish/Scientology etc. ONLY day at places like this

Now I find this prejudice against all other religions, that's the opinion I am entitled to, I understand Muslims do not drink or gamble, and only eat certain foods, but surely you can go to Alton towers, not drink, not gamble, eat the food you choose, and still have a good time, on any other day, why should their be a certain day allocated only to one religion?

 

Thoughts...

My understanding is that somebody has privately booked the theme park for the day. The person that made the booking happens to be Muslim.

 

It's not as though Alton Towers have decided to have a 'Muslim only' day. Thats not the case. It's a private booking. And the person that booked it can invite anyone they want. Muslim or otherwise.

Things like this, if true, do more harm than good; All that seemingly well meaning racial specific things like the "MOBO's" and the Black Police Federation do is perpetuate the psychological division between people.

But just imagine if the BNP wanted to book the whole of Alton Towers for the day and insisted it be for whites only, and Alton Towers acquiesced.

Oh for gods sake, why has this 5/6 year old news been dragged up? its all over Facebook! The day was cancelled due to a lack on interest anyway.

Did you see the post above?

But 'music of black origin' exists and white folks aren't excluded from participating in it, creating it or winning awards at the annual ceremony!

Because somebody wants another chance to have a go at Muslims? :rant:

How do you know that the insistence was it was Muslims only, isn't it more logical as the poster said a Muslim booked the park privately and most of their friends/family happen to be Muslim? Do you think you're possibly creating a storm in a teacup?

They did it in 2007 as well. Its DISGUSTING! Absolutely disgusting! Racist to the max!!!! Whats betting though because its racist against non muslims this thread gets pulled?!

That doesn't come cheap at all. Even back then.

The person that made the booking happens to be Muslim.

The person did not happen to be Saudi, and Wahhabist, perchance?

 

Not that I begrudged Alton Towers grabbing the opportunity for commercial purposes, of course. But I found their corporate responsibility somewhat lacking.

How do they check if people are Muslim before they are allowed in?
