FLY2 10,108 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I worked with several hypocritical Muslims at Plessey's over the years. They always abided by their rules until it came to Christmas fuddles, parties and shop floor do's. Even though they hadn't contributed to the funding of the food and drink. They always had beer, vodka and whisky that was on offer. To say nothing of pork pies and sausage rolls etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TBI 2,351 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I read it that the Muslim clerics are saying, it's not a sin to eat pie containing ale if you're unaware of it. This in response to the Muslim lady raising the issue. Seems sense is prevailing. Although then presumably Asda's pies without ale aren't Halal? The other issue is a wider one I suppose - that of clear listing of ingredients in the stuff we eat. Whether it be for religious reasons or intolerance of ingredients that can make people ill.

catfan 14,793 Posted December 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I have two distant relatives who are muslim, he smokes like a chimney so does she, also she could easily drink me under the table ! This thread wasn't to knock muslims, but as one poster mentioned, how do they know it is not halal meat ? I would suspect this is "where there.s blame there/ a claim" job. Bet she's waiting for an offer from ASDA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 A friend of mine comes from Iran & drinks I mentioned this to him & he said he was a lapsed Muslim. So if the Muslims wish to abstain from alcohol GOOD that means more for me 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MELTONSTILTON 452 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 In every religion there are those who are more fanatical than others, my wife describes herself as a devout catholic, and goes to church when ever she can, but she married me a nonbeliever, who was divorced and with her being younger than me, she uses contraception, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob.L 1,088 Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 I knew a senior Mason who was Jewish, and really looked-forward to Lodge committee meetings as it was the only time he could sit back and enjoy a bacon sandwich, knowing that his wife (or his Rabbi) would never find out. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,507 Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 # 22, Melton, it's maybe a good job for you that she uses contraception, you're a retired gentleman now, would you really want any more sprogs?!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
