Did some of you actually bother reading the story, or just stop after the first paragraph and make the rest up? It certainly appears that way.
Does the story *in any way* suggest that this has been developed in response to 'vocal muslims'? Clue: No, it doesn't.
Perhaps even more pertinant is the following statement in a story carried in the Manchester Evening News ( http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/he alth/s/222/222489_modesty_gowns_offered_to_wom en_patients.html ):
"[The gowns] been designed to comply with rules on women's dress which are part of the Muslim, Hindu, Orthodox Jewish and Rastafarian faiths."
It also contains the statement; "They were the idea of Karen Jacob, the linen services manager at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals."
I'm not a hundred percent certain, but that doesn't sound like a very Muslim name to me.
Still, let's not let the facts get in the way of yet another outpouring of bile, eh?

Okay, for those reading in Thicko-Vision:
This is a thread in which numerous correspondents have alleged that the design of a new sugical gown is pandering to Muslims.
I just proved it wasn't. It wasn't very hard.
To do it, I used 'facts' and 'evidence'. I obtained these 'facts' and 'evidence' by using my eyes and actually reading the story and understanding what the words meant rather than launching into some huge polemic which wasn't anything to do with the story.
I hope that explanation makes logical sense, WM?
Perhaps I'm the thick one though. Perhap I missed the bit in the AB Site Rules that said, 'just ignore the question and slag off Muslims regardless'? Hang on...
No, I've just checked. I haven't.

Where has it ever been asked 'How does WaldoMcFroog feel about Muslims?'
The thread is about some new surgical gowns. People alleged that they were being made because of pandering to Muslims. This is not true. I corrected it. Even you've managed to acknowlege this is the nature of the question in your last response.
How does this translate into 'support'?
If someone claimed Christians believe that Mary Magdalen was made of cake and I corrected them, would it make me Christian? Er... nope. Obviously it wouldn't.
I support their right to the same freedom of religion you have. I also support their right not to be slandered and not to be demonised at every turn.
In case you're reading in even-thicker-than-normal-vision, that does not translate into a support for terrorism. For most people I would assume they could appreciate this point without being told, but you give the impression of being too bog-eyed appoplexic to manage to think straight, even more so than normal today.

Do you know, I can't be bothered to continue trying to debate something sensibly when every single time you post something it's barely tangentally related to the actual matter under discussion. You appear to be on the logic bypass doing 120 mph towards padded-cellville.
You know how they say never argue with a idiot, because they lower you to their level and then beat you with experience..?
I bow to your unconquerable degree of experience on this one.
