Talk about taking the St Michael
A Muslim checkout worker at Marks & Spencer refused to handle a Bible, claiming it was "unclean". The company says it was "a misunderstanding". So that's all right, then.
Can you imagine what would have happened if a Christian checkout worker had called the Koran "unclean"?
There would have been all hell to pay, the assistant would have been sacked, the police would have been called in and the story would have led the BBC News and the front page of the Guardian. And I wonder if this intolerant woman realises that the firm was founded and has been run by some of Britain's most prominent Jewish businessmen. Actually, I wasn't aware that Marks sold Bibles. I've heard of the King James version. This must be the St Michael edition.
