Man Jailed in Anti Gay Row

[TheFaQQer]

In the eyes of the religion (and therefore the follower), the practice is illegal, hence he was adhering to his faith.

No - in the eyes of some religions, it is wrong.

Despite having a state religion, the law takes precedence, therefore he was wrong. Maybe an OTT reaction, but without knowing exactly what was said (either this time or on other occasions), then it's difficult to judge (or it should be).

Not knowing Leigh particularly well (apart from knowing that they are lobby-gobblers, and that's where some ugly schoolgirl who ran off with a US marine some years ago was from), it sounds like this might have been a deliberate campaign against one person. Why else stage a protest outside where he works, and put offensive notices on the board where he works?

Of course, Leigh may be tiny and have nowhere else to go...

I think the proper form of protest is to withdraw ones membership or business.
Nobody seems to do that these days, they just stand there shouting how it is unfair that they do not wish to put up with whatever it is that offends them.

It's a bit like saying I can go round doing XYZ because my religion tells me so, even though the Law says it's illegal. If we all did that, we'd be in a complete mess.

But we already do that by saying that a Muslim woman need not sell alcohol because of her faith...what if the customer had taken offence?

Sounds like we are too fooked up....

AFAIK christianity teaches forgiveness, love for your fellowman and acceptance. It does NOT preach ignoring or refusing to be served by sinners

Islam preaches peace and compassion...not murder and slaughter...

I've come across people in Leigh who've never even been to Manchester (few miles down the road!) Disturbing!!

Sounds to me like he's got issues with this guy and everyone should be allowed to work in an environment that is safe. The ol' fella went too far.

Splitters!!!!

I set em up, you knock em down...good work !

Still, better to be a splinter splitter group, than a sphincter spitter group.

The "Carbon Footprints can **** right off!" forum is far more amusing.

But I'm still thinking someone should ask for Elizabeth's contact details here. Come on Zeity - you know you want to!

Not something I think many people agree with if the reaction to the story is anything to go by (Inc plenty of Muslims). Sainsbury's being a little too PC imo.
