...this element of parasitism

Cringing to Muslims is so pointless | the Daily Mail

Sainsbury's (whose former chief executive, David Sainsbury, has donated £16 million to Labour) asks job applicants if they have 'issues' about handling certain products.

"Where we can we will try and accommodate any requirements people have..." it says. This is their explanation for why its Muslim staff can refuse to handle alcohol.

Obviously the company doesn't feel comfortable telling Muslim applicants they must handle alcohol. Perhaps in today's political climate such a requirement might itself be considered discriminatory. A job applicant rejected on those grounds might take legal action against Sainsbury's. Or militant Islamicists might mount a protest.

There's no doubt some Muslims living here want us to change so we are more in tune with their beliefs. Some of the wilder ones want to destroy our 'infidel' way of life altogether. The Nobel Prizewinning author Sir Vidia Naipaul complained about the latter group to Radio 4's James Naughtie last week.

This is what he said: "What I dislike about it is this element of parasitism. These people who want to come to other countries from their own benighted places. They twist the laws, they hire lawyers, they do bad things to get residence. And then, having got that, they wish to destroy (the society) which has welcomed them. I think that is simply awful.

"At the most basic level it's a kind of ingratitude."
