UK MUSLIMS OUTRAGED - THE "OFFENDER" - A BAG OF CRISPS!!
More moronic muslim outrage this time directed at the crisp maker - Walkers. Muslims are outraged that some crisps contain trace amounts of "prohibited" alcohol.
Truth is that the Quran doesn't prohibit all alcohol - it was the later laws created by muslim Caliphs200 years after the death of Mohammed - called hadith - that banned alcohol for muslims. In fact some muslims nations are far more lenient with the consumption of alcohol by both non-muslims and muslims. Certainly the sale of alcohol by muslims is not prohibited - judging from the plethora of Pakistani owned corner shops.
Regardless, for muslims to once again feign egregious hurt inflicted upon them by a pack of crisps is as ludricrous as it sounds.
What this really is is another attempt, by muslims, to force food manufacturers to Islamise all food products sold in the UK. One wonders how long it will be before all the meat consumed in the UK is halal? This is what the muslims are pushing for - and this is exactly what we British will get if we allow muslims to continue to force their religion and culture upon us.
Muslims criticise Walkers after it is revealed that some crisp varieties contain alcohol

Doritos Heat variety are one of those that contain small amounts of trace alcohol
Some crisp types use minute amounts of alcohol as a chemical agent to extract certain flavours.
The report in Asian newspaper Eastern Eye, highlights concerns raised by shopkeeper Besharat Rehman, who owns a halal supermarket in Bradford, West Yorkshire.
Mr Rehman told the paper: "A customer informed us that Sensations Thai Sweet Chilli and Doritos Chilli Heat Wave are not on Walkers' alcohol-free list. Our suppliers were unaware of this.
"Even if it is a trace amount of alcohol, Walkers should make it clear on the packaging so that the customer can make an informed choice.
"I feel frustrated and angry. I have let my customers down simply because such a big company like Walkers is not sensitive to Muslim needs.
"Many of them were my daughter's favourite crisps. As soon as I found out about the alcohol in them, I called home to ask my wife to throw out all the packets.”
Shuja Shafi, who chairs the food standards committee of the Muslim Council of Britain, said that he intended to investigate. "Certainly we would find it very offensive to have eaten food with alcohol."
Masood Khawaja, of the Halal Food Authority, said that this was not the first time the issue had been raised with Walkers.
"They should have looked into the matter and solved it instead of hiding behind labelling regulations. It does not matter what percentage of alcohol is involved.
"Besides Muslims, there are a lot of teetotal people who would not like to consume alcohol in any form. As far as possible we try and lobby for halal symbols on popular products like Kellogg's cereals.
"But we have always told Muslims to check the contents list even if a product is marked suitable for vegetarians. But to not mention it on the packaging is unfair.”
However, a spokesperson for Walkers said that trace amounts of alcohol in crisps or bread are believed to be permissible for Muslims.
"We do not add alcohol to our products. However, ethyl alcohol may be present in trace amounts in a very small number of our flavours.
"It is used as a carrying agent for flavourings, and is found in many common food and drink products.
"Foods like bread can also contain the same or higher trace amounts due to fermentation. "We are aware of the concerns from some Muslim consumers about the appropriateness of specific ingredients. We take the concerns of our consumers extremely seriously.
"In previous assessments by Muslim scholars, foods and drinks that contain trace amounts of ethyl alcohol have been confirmed as permissible for Muslim consumption because of both the fact that the ingredient does not bear its original qualities and does not change the taste, colour or smell of the product, and its very low level."

Christians, particularly Anglican bishops, seem to think that "tolerance" is the highest virtue. It is not - righteousness is. Tolerance does not require that Christians, and bishops particularly, turn a blind eye to the murderous persecution of fellow Christians in Islamic countries. Tolerance does not mandate that one keep one's mouth shut to the subjugation of women, and non-Muslims by Muslims. "Tolerance" does not require Anglican bishops to accept polygamy or any aspect of a barbaric and retrograde system of laws.
Righteousness requires the ability to see the truth about Islam, and not be afraid to speak about it.
The way the CofE is going, it is going to "tolerate" itself out of existence, and take Britain with it.

Well worth reading.
There's always money for Labour voters

This is why there is so much money for Muslims - dependable Labour voters. Muslims will vote Labour till they are suuficiently numerous. Then they will setup a muslim party and take over parliament. Then its goodbye England, and goodbye Britain.

This Mr Rehman said - ""I feel frustrated and angry. I have let my customers down simply because such a big company like Walkers is not sensitive to Muslim needs."
Hey, fella. This is fucking England, not bloody Saudi Arabia or Pakistan. England is a CHRISTIAN and predominantly WHITE society, historically and socially. And it has been for hundreds and hundreds of years.
If you want to try and foist your primitive, outmoded, archaic, imbecilic, and ignorant (really ignorant) beliefs here, then give up. Sell your little, grubby shop, and go back to the fucking country you came from, and then you can complain about Walker's chips to your little, minuscule heart's content.
You little, moronic, ignorant wanker - and that goes for all your stupid, moronic followers who complain about a trace of alcohol to improve the flavour. If you don't like it, then leave the country, you wanker.
The west - that great civilised part of the world - has to realize, and soon, just how dangerous Islam is. It is NOT a religion, but a blood-thirsty, ignorant, backwards-looking and archaid ideology, based on the ignorant rantings of a bloody jumped-up camel driver who was also a practicing pedophile. The sooned the UK, EUROPE, the EU, the US, Australia and New Zealand become aware of how dangerous Islam is, the better.
I say to you, Mr Rehman, go back to the backwards country frpm which you came... Engalnd will be a better country for it.
