Coronation Street, the Brit soap, hid the cross so that Muslims would not be offended.
The scene was the Christian sanctuary interior for a wedding ceremony. There was the cross in full view.. But it had to be sliced out of the picture in order that Islamics would stay happy.
It’s a 14th-century edifice. The environs are gorgeous as far as Christian churches are concerned. In the focus of it all is, of course, the Christian cross. Why not?











…in order that Islamics would stay happy.…?
Det er da en mission impossible…

Og så en en artikel, hvor skribent i stedet for meningsløs af viderebringe en artikel, rent faktisk har gjort sin hjemmearbejde.

“A spokesperson said “Contrary to claims that the programme’s producers wanted the cross moving as they were worried its inclusion would offend people, what actually happened was that they wanted to move the cross so that it was not hidden.
“A member of crew knew that they were dressing the set with candles and flowers and knew this would obstruct the view of the cross. A member of church staff was asked if the cross could be moved.”"

Jeg synes det er fint de viser deres permanente gæster lidt hensyn. Det er da det mindste. Jeg ville da heller ikke servere vin til maden, hvis jeg vidste at min ven netop havde meldt sig ind i AA:

@ ManInBurka
Selvfølgelig ville du da vise hensyn til din gæst, som alle os andre velopdragne.
Så må du bare håbe på din gæst igen forlader dit hjem efter en passende tid, så du også har mulighed for at kunne nyde et godt glas vin!
