  • Was planning on going with the tickets to Alton Towers for my sons 11th birthday on 30th September, only to find it is a muslim only day?!!!

    Thought it was a wind up when someone told me.

    We also had a fantastic day at Thorpe park yesterday.
    The cashier only gave me one ticket to start with and I told him to check and he apologised.
    The park was very busy but the weather stayed dry and we got there at 9.20 and left at 7.45pm. so had a really full day.

    Thanks again for this post.

    Your quite right - excluding christians is quite racist.

    BTW I personally am by no means a racist person, just someone who feels it strange that we need to have race segregation so soon after apartheid was abolished.

    Strange world we live in.

    A lot of people have got the wrong end of the stick over this Muslim day, and the event had been cancelled, whether because of this bad publicity or genuinely because of 'lack of interest'.

    Alton Towers allows whole day reservations by all sorts of organisations, and companies like BT have booked the entire theme park on a day for their staff, and there have been special days for gays, and special days for nudists.

    The Muslim day was a similar whole day reservation, at which Muslim rules on alcohol, smoking, music, and food would be observed. There was no intention expressly to exclude Christians, but anyone wanting entry would have had to book through that Muslim organisation.

    This seems quite reasonable, as that organisation had booked the whole place. If you book the whole of a restaurant for a family wedding, would you allow that restaurant to admit non guests without your permission and serve them on some of the tables between your guests?

    I am certain that on the BT day, non-BT people that had not been specially invited by BT would not have been allowed entry at all, so what sort of segregation is that?

    If you feel a Moslem group booking a venue in its entirety for a day, and reserving the venue to themselves and invited guests, is excluding Christians and race segregation (there is actually a difference between the two), would you have insisted on going to Alton Towers with your 11 year old son on one of the gay days or one of the nudist days?

    Had you been excluded from such events, would you then be complaining about segregation against non-gays or non-nudists ... assuming of course you are not a gay nudist. :)
