OK…back to some Old Skool Daily Mail bashing.
So, if you have a swear filter, plug the fucker in NOW because some shit’s about to fly.
If you haven’t got a swear filter and don’t like bad language, please fuck all the way off.
If you haven’t got a swear filter and you’re a Daily Mail reader then please fuck all the way off after having rolled your shitty reading matter up into a stout cylinder and stuck it up your arse.
If you don’t give a fuck about swearing then welcome…
I’ve been very restrained on the swearing front lately and I’m going to grab this cunt of an opportunity with both fucking hands and really enjoy the motherfucker.
Ready?
Right…
Here’s the headline:
Muslims refuse to use alcohol-based hand gels over religious beliefs
Here’s the story.
Here’s the first line of that story:
Some Muslims have refused to use alcohol-based hand gels to combat the spread of swine flu because they claim it is against their religion.
See what the Daily Fucking Mail’s doing?
Your attention is grabbed by the headline and then after you’ve assumed that all Muslims are going to stop using hand gel – thus allowing Swine Flu to kill everyone in the whole wide fucking world – it qualifies the initial statement with ‘some’.
A real cuntish trick.
However, how many is ‘some’?
Some of those employed by St Albans Council in Hertfordshire have complained about the antibacterial lotion, which is considered a key strategy in containing the virus.
Officials were concerned because the Koran bans Muslims from consuming alcohol, so council chiefs issued them with non-alcohol hand gels, which studies have shown to be less effective in killing bugs.
Ah, some of those employed by one town in one county.
Furthermore:
…Muslim leaders criticised the council’s decision to change the gel, pointing out that Islamic teachings allow Muslims to use alcohol for medicinal purposes.
The Muslim Council of Britain said: ‘We would advise people to follow the medical advice so we would, of course, encourage people to use hand gel. ‘People need to find ways to accommodate their beliefs.’
So, that’s some Muslim employees from one town in one county acting against the teachings of their own religious leaders.
Out of the 8 comments so far made (yes, only 8 because it’s not about people in gay marriages adopting children or plummeting house prices) on the article by readers (and I use that term very loosely) there’s the usual frothing:
All those who are unwilling to adhere to set guidlines should be sacked. Yes, we all have the right to practice our chosen religion in UK, a privalidge not afforded in all countries. But this does not equate to increasing the risk of infection to others solely on the basis of your chosen religion.
Why are muslim advisors invoved? This is a matter of public health, infections do not discriminate.

Stop wasting our tax money on coming up with expensive alternatives to anyone who refuses to abide by the rules on “religious or any other non ridiculous grounds.” There are troops out there dying because of lack of funds and equipment. Please – somebody rescue us from this clueless party – Labour.

Thank you Emily and Diane – now fuck off and screw yourself with your precious fucking newspaper.
‘But Muslim leaders criticised the council’s decision to change the gel, pointing out that Islamic teachings allow Muslims to use alcohol for medicinal purposes.’
So what’s the fuss ?
