It always amuses me that some people keep calling for “greater understanding of cultural differences” by refusing to participate in the cultural traditions of others. Can you say hypocrite?

I agree with darwin and shooter 100%.
Take your sorry a$$ back to your own screwed up country.

Whats really starting to piss me off is these muslims are taking jobs or entering situations that have been established for decades, and THEN they want everything to change…retroactively. B.S.
The muslims are well aware of everything expected BEFORE they enter an agreement. But this crap of waiting til the very end of graduation or whatever it is, then boom, “I CANT DO THAT” whining crap.

What was the other recent story, similar to this, where the muslim all of a sudden couldn’t do “X”… whatever it was they were supposed to do?
THEY KNOW GOING IN WHAT THE JOB REQUIRES! F*&kem.

Kinda makes it tough if she had a male baby.
The good news is that men can have complete power over their muslim women, so how about a little slap across the face to straighten her up.

“Muslim groups said her refusal was in line with common Islamic practice and called for greater understanding of cultural differences…”

Well, if that’s “common islamic practice”, it should be praticed in the middle east and nowhere else. It’s not the responsibility of Britain to accomodate islam, it’s the muslims responsibility to assimilate with British society.

It’s just another example of how incompatible islam is with anything. Muslims don’t want to be British, they want Britain to become muslim. Stop muslim immigration and boot those out who fail to assimilate. Anything else is madness.

Massoud Shadjareh, chairman of the Islamic Human Rights Commission, said the “overwhelming majority” of practising Muslims would avoid physical contact with a member of the opposite sex unless they were closely related.

Hm. A woman in Iraq certainly didn't avoid physical contact with me--she tapped me on the shoulder to let me know that she had a cup of chai for me, and later on tapped me again to get me the heck out of her way so she could get around the table in the room where we were meeting. I didn't get the impression that tapping a guy on the shoulder was out of bounds or even unusual. Maybe this revised quote would be more accurate:

Massoud Shadjareh, chairman of the Islamic Human Rights Commission, said the “overwhelming majority” of ~~practising~~ radical, intolerant Muslims living in the West who need some street cred with the crazy imams in their neighborhoods would avoid physical contact with a member of the opposite sex unless they were closely related.

Once on holiday in Tunisia I was introduced to a muslim girl and we were tongue kissing with a passion that same evening.

So in retrospect, I guess I’m really glad their laws adapt to the circumstances :D.

So those girls in the Egyptian sweatshop that were roasted alive because they couldn’t be escorted out of the burning building weren’t doing their professional work in trying to escape from the flames?

Hmmm…this is just ANOTHER example of how the Islamic community expects society to change for them and them not adapting to the society that they live in.

Big Pharaoh is correct…the magic word IS religious reformation.

“There is a standard between personal and professional life. A passing-out parade is a personal event. You are not fulfilling a professional duty there.”

Man! What a lot of time I wasted standing those personnel inspections.

If she’s that dedicated to her faith, does that mean it’s ok to stone her to death?

The UK Muslim community is very strange indeed. Where are her handlers? Her family actually allowed her to work?

The woman had earlier insisted that it was contrary to her religious teaching for her to touch a man…

Then how do these people make babies?

By: Highrise

Good news, though: she’s allowed to touch male suspects if she’s apprehending them. It’s only the friendly, civilized, nonconfrontational, assimilationist touching that’s haram.

It makes me wonder if a male was accused of rape, would she really do it justice? I think not.

Hey, I forget if this has come up, but does this mean Muslim women can’t be doctors? Or they can, they just have to operate or examine only women patients?

Oh wait, I forgot. Mark Steyn tells us we just need to revive our “will.” Well, I’m sure the National Will Revival Act of 2007 will be passed any day now, and then magical immigration arch will start working again.
