The law does accomodate differences, so

EXCEPTIONS ARE OKAY

I recall at my school, Jewish people made to attend morning assembly in which there was our Lord's Prayer. They rightly objected. At lunch, some Muslims and Jewish people did not eat school dinners because it contained pork and was no kosher . halal. They wanted the school to take this into account.

At work day outs, our bosses provide special food with special diets. That's okay.

We are not all the same with same needs, desires and beliefs. Within a liberal context of equal rights, the law and rules can accommodate differences.

The law does accomodate differences, so much so that the muslims demands are now constant. There has been halal meat in school for quite a while now and even the hospitals have been seving dishes for other faiths for years.

This must be the only country that has bent over backwards in accomodating muslims so much so that they now think it is their divine right for the government to do so.

The jewish people/community have never made the uneccessary demands as the muslims have done, in fact neither have Hindu's and Sikhs, they are all hapy to live and let live. We don't see an unneccessary amount of synagogues, temples springing up all over the place but in certain areas there are mosques everywhere. For Hindus, Sikhs, living in predominantly asian areas this must also be worrying for them as the Islamic clerics/fundamentalists want to take Islam to the four corners to the earth so even they must feel intimidated. Time for the powers that be to realise that Islam is not the only creed in this country. Think Gordon Brown should change his name to Joe Soap.
