I find it incredible that someone could report, with such precision what was said in a supermarket queue!
I also find it deeply offensive.
Did we have such tripe when the IRA were blasting Britain?
Irish woman in queue comments on Union flag being worn by cashier etc etc?
No we didn't . This may be because some Moslem women stand out, or because not being Christian, they are seen as fair targets for racism.
How soon people forget that a lot of Eastern Europeans are Moslems and that Islam is the second largest religion in the world, after Christianity.

I would also like to point out that 4% of the population of Iraq is Christian - and over half have been displaced. In Eastern Europe, (Bosnia) it was the Moslems who were displaced/murdered.

Sheila, do you mean you *don't* think this really happened? Gosh, that hadn't occurred to me;)

Well I would be exceedingly cheesed off if this was going on in MY queue and my peas were thawing...

Seriously, I think it's hogwash.

Stirring stuff. Enough to make me vote for the BNP next election

Thankyou Frederick x

An incident occured in a supermarket recently, when the following was witnessed:

A Muslim woman dressed in a Burkha (A black gown & face mask) was standing with her shopping in a queue at the checkout.

When it was her turn to be served, and as she reached the
cashier, she made a loud remark about the English Flag lapel pin, which the female cashier was wearing on her blouse.

The cashier reached up and touched the pin and said, "Yes, I always wear it proudly. My son serves abroad with the forces and I wear it for him".

The Muslim woman then asked the cashier when she was going to stop bombing and killing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi.

At that point, a Gentleman in the queue stepped forward, and interrupted with a calm and gentle voice, and said to the Iraqi woman:
"Excuse me, but hundreds of men and women, just like this ladies son have fought and sacrificed their lives so that people just like YOU can stand here, in England, which is MY country and allow you to blatantly accuse an innocent check-out cashier of bombing YOUR countrymen".
" It is my belief that if you were allowed to be as outspoken as that in Iraq, which you claim to be YOUR country, then we wouldn't need to be fighting there today"..
"However- now that you have learned how to speak out and criticise the English people who have afforded you the protection of MY country, I will gladly pay the cost of a ticket to help you pay your way back to Iraq".
"When you get there, and if you manage to survive for being as outspoken as what you are here in England, then you should be able to help straighten out the mess YOUR Iraqi countrymen have got you into in the first place, which appears to be the reason that you have come to MY country to avoid."

Apparently the queue cheered and applauded..

IF YOU AGREE... Pass it on to all of your proud British friends..
