Sainsbury's
I think that if Muslims don't like alcohol they shouldn't be working somewhere like Sainsbury's. Equally, Sainsbury's shouldn't be employing people with such extreme ideas about what they (Sainsbury's) sell ~ surely that makes them unsuitable for the job.
As for Muslim medical students refusing to learn about sexual diseases and alcohol related illnesses I think they shouldn't train in this country ~ simple!

sainsbury's employ loads of under 18s that can't sell alcohol - its quite simple to bring someone else over for that bit so the store owners aren't going to mind doing it for a few other employees are they...
now when it comes to student doctors refusing to study or be examined on alcohol related injuries or sexually transmitted diseases then this does seem sad for them as they won't pass their degree or be able to study... seems like a wasteful way to make a point but it doesn't really affect anyone other than themselves in the long run does it so i can't muster much annoyance at some students giving up

Myth or not I don't know what the possible problem could be with this conversation at interview
Muslim Employee: I'd really like to work for Sainsbury's but I'm not allowed to handle alcohol due to my religious beliefs
Sainsbury's: That's okay. We've got procedures in place for this king of thing, so you won't have to, and we'd still like you to come and work for us.
It's no different to any other conversation whereby you ask your employers if you can help them to resolve a problem.
Employee: I'm afraid that it's getting really dificult to do the school run ad get into work on time. Would it be possible for my hours to change from 10am - 6pm?
Employer: Well, that seems reasonable. We can accomodate that, and we value your contribution. Of course.
Or perhaps in both cases the employees should be told in no uncertain terms that if they can't fulfill the terms of the job, they can both take a flying leap.

Supernick
Isn't it all irrelevant now, seeing as news has come out that it's a made up story?
Shocking isn't it?
Racists are now spreading these stories to stir up anti-Muslim feelings...smells a little bit like Germany in the 1930.
Smells exactly like that.
Good job that the majority of British people are too savvy to be taken in.

Supernick, some of my work colleagues work slightly different hours from others to enable them to do their school run. Big deal. It's harder for smaller employers to be flexible, of course; bigger ones like Sainsbury's usually can. Of course in this case they haven't had to, as it's all rubbish anyway, Sunday Times or no Sunday Times (a sister paper of the News of the World, incidentally).
