when you hire a hall for a party, do you take orders from other people or do what you like? you invite who you want? you serve what you want? you name the party whatever name you want...etc...etc..
Same applies here...
You hire the place, lay down your conditions, whoever is invited comes in but act accordingly....
Again, public was invited in the present matter but only conditions were different...
so why make a mountain out of a molehill?

Seems to me it's alright for muslims to exclude people from things but as soon as a white person tries it (not that I'm condoning exclusion) it's racism and they're arrested

where was there any exclusion? Did you read the article ffs?
Public was invited...anybody can book
Is it said ONLY Muslims?
some find it hard to understand
Again religion and colour race is different...

would you all be happier, if an event like this was called something else, with the same rules applying?

My opinion is the Muslim community has a lot to work to do regarding there integration into the UK's society and this does not help there cause one bit....
I dont want this to turn into a racial attack so just post your opinions..what are your thoughts on this?....
Danke
They do have a christian only day  and a gay only day!
Its not a promo thing by Towers as such - its just that any group can hire out the whole park - so long as enough people are going
BT pay for all of their workers to go over a 3 day weekend every year

i think your missing the point mate. its not a "muslims and brown skins" day is it?
its just a muslim theme day. If white people want to come but adhere to muslim rules, then thats perfectly acceptable.
Just as if there was a good old christian day, muslims would be accepted if they adhere to christian traditions of wine bread and water for food, instead of halal food.
Altho i have made the point above, i dont agree to it.
I am a british born muslim, have lived here and studied here all my life and the reason why i object to this is simple because its hardly encouraging integration. Doing quite the opposite really which is just stupid when such conflicting events are happening around the world.

Just shows your lack of intelligence. Read the article properly before you make comments
