Woolworths: " We Are A Muslim Business"

[agchristie]

This, from Germany. Sign of things to come?

Already last year, everything remained unsold."

What does that mean?

[fiction-factory]

seems a confusing story. Christmas is cancelled, Christmas isn't cancelled. We are a Muslim business. Woolworths denies it is a Muslim business. Spokeswoman Diana Preisert said: "Woolworth is, of course, not a Muslim company. Christmas merchandise is available from September onwards and should be sold out by the end of December. a Muslim business

Does seem rather muddled doesn't it?

Making comment difficult.

All the business has done is allocate is stocks to a different store where it will sell better.

A bit like Tesco's do with the ethnic range or their bread range. My father's Tesco in a lovely affluent English seaside town had the most amazing fresh bread range - whereas mine is crappy - on questioning my local does not have the demand!

I think what he is trying to say is that last year nobody bought any Xmas stuff.

[jourdain2]

A friend has daughter who works in Dubai (going out there for Xmas) and says the shops are full of Christmas stuff out there. Just shows what sort of Muslims they have allowed in (and they will head here). In school, our Muslim pupils celebrated Christmas very happily and wallowed in the double presents they received!

From link: According to city officials Christians now make up under a third of the population of North Dortmund where the store is located.

Give it time and this pattern will be repeated throughout Europe. Shops and establishments will revise their ethos to meet the change in demand and cater for the 'locals'..

That particular branch of Woolies is in the midst of a Muslim ghetto, and the Muslims shop there, the manager must be happy to accept their custom to the cost of any stray white person who somehow finds themselves there. The Christmas stock was moved to another branch where the stock was told. A similar thing happened in Bradford and Dewsbury until they cotton on.

In answer to this question yesterday:

http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/News/Question1523604-3.html

I said this:

“Europe is being invaded by Muslims (almost all of the migrants involved in the summer Exodus from the Middle East and beyond were of that faith). As I said then, because they arrive without guns and tanks makes it no less an invasion and Western governments have been negligent in recognising it (or at least accepting it). Europe is now paying the price for that staggering negligence.”

And this:

“The foot soldiers – the “peace loving Muslims” of which everybody speaks – follow the same teachings and their aim is the same: to see Europe as a Muslim continent which, eventually, will have no tolerance of any Infidels. It will take time, but not as long as some people think. And the effect of that will be every bit as profound.”

Whilst there is certainly some confusion with this report it seems there are some elements of truth to it. It’s quite true. It seems all this store has done “…is allocate is stocks to a different store where it will sell better.”

What needs to be established is why this store doesn’t sell much Christmas stuff. Until anybody comes up with a better explanation, I’ll stick by what I said above.

[Mamyalynne]

A good manager will hope to gain profits for their branch of the store by selling what shifts off the shelf, not stock what sits and gathers dust.

This sounds like a throwaway remark by an employee.

[Mamyalynne]

I may add if I lived in that locality I'd be a bit disappointed but hopefully there are other stores close by well stocked with Christmas goodies.

@ NJ

Which makes it all the more obvious why we need a 'German Islam' ;o)

Mamya > I may add if I lived in that locality I'd be a bit disappointed but hopefully there are other stores close by well stocked with Christmas goodies.

And when those stores change their stocks to reflect new demand? Domino effect?

If a large concentration of migrants are ushered into a town or city then all sorts of changes will develop.

[Mamyalynne]

I have no desire for anywhere to become a ghetto, yes I'm an idealist - preferring as I do to reside in a neighbourhood made up of many people from many places.

Ghettoes are sad, of course if people continually move in and others move out that is what happens.

It doesn't make me happy at all.

[agchristie]

Well Merkel's version of 'Pick 'N Mix' has obviously had an impact in Dortmund.

[agchristie]

DB > It's just going to go on and on until/unless those in power start making some tough decisions.

All too true. In Germany, they have and are making tough decisions; the wrong ones.

Compulsory repatriation of Muslims might be difficult, divebuddy.. Most were born here- just go to most inner city town primary schools, and there is no register yet of Muslims and religion isn't stated on passports or birth certificates.

[fiction-factory]

Maybe you should move, divebuddy. There are lots of lovely places , some with a healthy mix of cultures
