A KFC customer in the UK was quite shocked when he was refused a hand wipe because it contains alcohol, which is against Islamic Law, so it might offend their Muslim customers.
The customer, Graham Noakes, tried to explain that he ‘liked the alcohol’, but was still refused the wipe.
Although one Muslim Organisation has called the decision “bizarre”, it appears they didn’t go so far as to inform the KFC that it was ok to hand out the wipes.
Muslims make up about 4.4% of England’s population. As this number increases, of course, you can expect the influence on culture to increase.
We just posted a story of a couple that was kicked off a bus in the UK because they sang a song about a pig to their child, that offended a Muslim woman on the bus.
“I will never be going to KFC again.”The father-of-two added: “I’ve never experienced anything like this before, I couldn’t believe it.
“Why shouldn’t I be allowed a wipe for my hands?
“They use wipes in hospital, what happens when we start being told we can’t have wipes there?
“I just can’t understand it.”
Graham, who lives in Birmingham, is working in Leicester on the construction of a new Muslim community centre in Highfields.
Halal is the Arabic word for ‘lawful’ and relates to what is allowed in the context of Islamic law, but is often used in conjunction with the issue of how meat is dealt with.
Suleman Nagdi, spokesman for the Leicester-based Federation of Muslim Organisations, said: “I know alcohol is prohibited in the Muslim community, but I don’t understand why you can’t use hand-wipes – there’s nothing wrong with it.
“Using alcohol doesn’t mean you’re consuming it.
“It seems like an unusual decision to be made.
“In fact, it sounds bizarre.”
Suleman said such decisions potentially provoked some people to start “lashing out” at the Muslim community.
“I’ve never come across anything like this before,” he added.
“KFC have made a commercial decision to do this, and now the Muslim community will face backlash.”
A KFC spokesman said the company had been running a halal trial since 2010, in “areas where there has been demand from our customers”, such as the restaurant in St George’s Retail Park.
He said that as a result “a small number of products from our usual menu are not available”, and in addition the St George’s branch had decided not to stock wet wipes that contain alcohol”.
When do we stop giving in to muslims? This is our country not theirs. These merchants need to stop catering to muslims and start trying not to offend the American public. We are through giving in to muslims. If your corporation is not capable of supporting us then take your business to a muslim country.
Give out hand wipes. If it offends Muslims it means that do not care about sanitation.
What is chicken fried in ? Is it totally pork free ? Are the hand wipes in part made of a grease product ? It’s out there everywhere. You can run all you want to folks or go somewhere it is pork free.
They dont use paper or water to clean their posterior neither,, i guess they like wipe the grease from fried chicken with same hand they flung p**p with!
no kfc
Mmmmm so far … you r right
And states are lost to Muslims and Islam right here in the United States. Keep voting for democrats or Tories or anyone who sympathizes with Islam and their murderous cult teachings.
They are just going to roll over. Soon they won’t have to “PLAY” dead, they WILL BE. !!!
Just pass them out if some comes in all covered up head scarved just don’t give them any. This must be in a over populated town with Muslims
So what if it does why should we care.
