Blog comment of the day - "What's sauce for the goose..."

I wasn't going to blog about the story that Stoke-on-Trent City Council has issued an 11-page Ramadan guide for schools to help pupils who may be fasting when the school year starts in September. It said swimming was acceptable to Muslims but posed a high risk of swallowing water that may break a fast and suggested a re-scheduling of sex education classes during the Muslim holy month, as Muslim followers who have reached puberty are required to avoid sexual thoughts during this period. It seemed just too typical of the dhimmitude being practised throughout much of the UK, especially as the Muslim school population of Stoke-On-Trent is around 3.2%.

But then I read a comment on Biased BBC that I thought hit the mark perfectly: 'Lets close ALL shops during Christmas as a mark of respect for Christians.'Thanks John Horne Tooke for that. Maybe someone in the multicultural industry could explain the differences between the two situations...
