Brackley Bluenose 4,479 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I respect each persons right for them to believe in a god, religion or spirit but I personally am so pleased to see religion slowly fading away through the generations. Source of the vast majority of the world’s evil throughout time and still to this day. graeme_4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgally 452 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 They will abandon it so not to offend players whose religion forbids alcohol use. In the 4 bullet points under the headline that's the only reason given.Why would it offend anyone ? if someone offers you a drink and you don't drink you just tell them,same as being offered a fag you just say you don't smoke,why would anyone get offended.

Secondly, some of the narrow minded shite I’ve read on here is laughable. I remember a guy I knew posting something abusive towards Muslims on social media. Turns out after I questioned him it was actually a Muslim doctor that had saved his life a couple of months prior when he’d suffered a stroke. Aye but i thanked him at the time.

So I'm going to have to partly join in with the "fasting". 😅 Roll on 4th of June and Eid al-Fitr. Used to work in an office where there were loads of people from the Sikh community. I musty have put on a couple of stone with all the samosas and Indian sweets they brought in. Some of the nicest people I've ever met. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't recall if we have Muslim players at the minute because it's not something to particularly care about but I'm sure we do. We definitely have Muslim fans. This isn't virtue signalling, just the club doing the usual decent - and corporate positive pr - thing of wishing people a happy holiday. No idea why they're already 7 pages about it. You won’t be saying that when Christmas is cancelled, women are banned and you’re staring down the barrel of a muslamic ray gun. Inigo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebluedoo 2,652 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I stand with the club in sharing goodwill with our Muslim brothers and sisters on thier religous holiday, our Christian based prinsipals of tolerance and fair mindedness in the interest of individual liberties and religous freedoms should be celebrated and shown around the world. We are not intolerate or the racist bigots people are led to believe and this helps to dispel that misinterpretation and political agenda.

They have days that are exclusively Catholic, I await us acknowledging our separated brethren outright as we have done for Islam. Dangerous road for the Club to go down.

If we are an all inclusive Club, I look forward to Judaism, Hinduism etc to receive similar messages on the appropriate days relevant to them. That is true tolerance, all encompassing. If we are not intent on doing this for all faiths, I would question why not.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when we've been doing it for a number of years now. It just becomes the same with folk greeting that they never wished a happy (insert minor religious festival) because the club acknowledged one of the biggest. It's virtue signalling.
