A customer at a Leicester branch of KFC has said he was “shocked” when he was refused a hand-wipe as it might offend other restaurant-goers.
Graham Noakes, 41, said he was astonished when staff at the fast food chain’s outlet in St George’s retail park refused to give him a hand-wipe because it was against its Halal policy.
Staff said this was because the wipes are soaked in an alcohol-infused liquid. Alcohol is forbidden in the Muslim Holy book, the Quran.
… Graham said: “They told me it might offend other customers.
“I explained that it wouldn’t affect me. In fact – I told them I like alcohol, so it wouldn’t bother me in the slightest.
For what it’s worth, the Federation of Muslim Organizations spoke out against this, calling it bizarre and pointing out that there is no rule in sharia law against using wet wipes soaked in alcohol — just against consuming alcohol. But this isn’t about pointing out the ridiculousness of Islam. It’s about a country so consumed by political correctness and dhimmitude that they’ll do something this ridiculous in order to avoid offending anyone. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
