Marks and Spencer has launched an investigation after a customer claimed a Muslim shop assistant refused to handle a Bible she was buying.

Sally Friday said she felt “humiliated” after going to the till to pay for a First Bible Stories for her young grandson.

She said the woman behind the till refused to touch the book once she realised what it was, and made a reference to a fellow worker about being “unclean”.

Mrs Friday, 69, said: “The young lady was absolutely fine with the other stuff I was buying but when it came to the Bible she refused to touch it and asked me to put it in the shopping bag myself.

"She turned to another worker and said something about being unclean and at first I thought she was referring to a skirt I was buying and that there was a mark on it. Then she asked me to put the Bible in my shopping bag myself.

"It took me a while to realise what was happening and I felt humiliated that someone could censor what I was buying.

"If she was refusing to touch it on religious grounds then that is not on. We are a tolerant, Christian country and I could not see a Christian shop assistant refusing to touch something from another religion.

If the worker is that extreme and stupidly disgusted, why the hell is she working in Marks and Spencers....

Its the biggest Muslim rumour that Marks and Spencers is a big supporter of Israel, and there have been thousands of leaflets going around telling muslims to boycott their products.

I think all koran-believing muslims must be expelled.

There were muslim workers in Target who refused to scan frozen pizza with pepperoni which was sealed in plastic wrap AND in a box because the pepperoni contained pork, they would hold up the line and another cashier would have to hold her line up, come over scan and bag the offending pizza and then go tend to her own customers again
And we all remember the MN muslim taxi drivers who refused to transport people carrying alcohol AND SEEING EYE DOGS

Sally Friday said she felt “humiliated” after going to the till to pay for a First Bible Stories for her young grandson

  I LOVE this, right on Sally!!!!  Everytime a muslim is inconvenienced in even the slightest way its "humiliating" how RIGHT of her to use that word!!

Thanks for the scoop.

Muslims will be very surprised when they realize how the People of Israel are esteemed by G-d.

In Norway, the muslime taxi-drivers are horrible I heard.
 
They even demand a prayer room in the Central station of Oslo.
And request time for 5 prayers a day....
 
Now these muzzanimals refuse to take passengers with dogs.
 
That's good.
 
So Norwegians call the taxi-Company, an ask "a cab with sufficient space for the dog"   

P.S.: can you imagine these monsters refuse to let in the blind people, with their dogs
