AMSTERDAM, 06/06/08 - Amsterdam municipal transport company (GVB) bus-drivers and tram personnel cannot celebrate Christmas any more. GVB is axing the event to please Muslims, newspaper de Telegraaf suggested yesterday.
Personnel association VTN has been told by GVB management that "the multicultural representation of the colleagues at the Christmas party is too one-sided." Supposedly, GVB meant to say that only white GVB staffs have been attending the annual event organised by management in the past years. It has therefore halted its financial contribution to the Christmas party.
"We have a limited budget and want to organise something that is intended for everyone," said GVB spokeswoman Brit Wijkniet. "Perhaps a New Year drinks party."
"Good muslims" don't drink alcohol, you twit.
Well, I’m not going to get too upset by the fact that a company will no longer have a company Christmas party. Now if they refused to give time off for Christmas, that would be a different matter. It is, however, one small step for a company, one large step for dhimmitude.
HAHAHAHA! It can't be alcohol for the muzzies, though...

Dress the bus drivers in Santa suits.
What? Wasn't Muslim Fun Day a success?
Exactly!!!
Since EVERYTHING offends Muslims (Chirst, drinking, attractive women, intelligence, free speech, etc). the Dutch will have to celebrate things that DON’T offend Muslims (murdering Christians and Jews, stupidity, repression of women, etc).
Dress the bus drivers in Santa suits.
Dress the drivers in Mis Piggy outfits with Santa Hats.
Well then I guess. Bring a Ham to work day, is right out the window.
One thing to know about Permanent Outrage. It is a constant, it does not vary regardless of any variation in the input signal.
That means it is noise, nothing more. Ignore it. Adjust your squelch knob and tune it out.
Why would Muslims be offended by Christman celebrations? I keep hearing how much they revere Jesus.
Well, it never hurts to ax...
But Muslim personnel can continue to celebrate Ramadan?
Mokum, je bent verloren.
Maybe they can get this guy...
Ramadan isn't ????

RE Christmas Party
DATE December 1
I’m happy to inform you that the company Christmas Party will take place on
December 23, starting at noon in the banquet room at Luigi’s Open Pit Barbecue.
No-host bar, but plenty of eggnog! We’ll have a small band playing traditional
carols...feel free to sing along. And don’t be surprised if our CEO shows up
dressed as Santa Claus!

RE Christmas Party
In no way was yesterday’s memo intended to exclude our Jewish employees. We recognize that Chanukah is an important holiday which often coincides with
Christmas, though unfortunately not this year.
However, from now on, we’re calling it our “Holiday Party”.

What a diverse company we are! I had no idea that December 20 begins the Muslim
holy month of Ramadan, which forbids eating, drinking and sex during daylight
hours. There goes the party! Seriously, we can appreciate how a luncheon this
time of year does not accommodate our Muslim employees’ beliefs. Perhaps
Luigi’s can hold off on serving your meal until the end of the party...the days
are so short this time of year...or else package everything for take-home in
little foil swans.

So December 22 marks the Winter Solstice... Fire regulations at Luigi’s prohibit
the burning of sage by our earth-based, Goddess-worshipping employees, but
we’ll try to accommodate your shamanic drumming circle during the band’s
breaks.

People, people, nothing sinister was intended by having our CEO dress up like
Santa Claus! Even if the anagram of “Santa” does happen to be “Satan”, there is
no evil connotation to our own “little man in a red suit”. It’s a tradition,
folks, like sugar shock at Halloween or family feuds over the Thanksgiving
turkey or broken hearts on Valentine’s Day. Could we lighten up?

Vegetarians!?!?!? I’ve had it with you people!!! We’re going to keep this party
at Luigi’s Open Pit Barbecue whether you like it or not, so you can sit quietly
at the table farthest from the “grill of death”, as you so quaintly put it, and
you’ll get your #$%^&*! salad bar, including hydroponic tomatoes...but you know,
tomatoes have feelings, too. Tomatoes scream when you slice them...I’ve heard
them scream, I’m hearing them scream right now...!

I’m sure I speak for all of us in wishing Pat Lewis a speedy recovery from her
stress-related illness and I’ll continue to forward your cards to her at the
sanitarium. In the meantime, management has decided to cancel the Holiday
party and give everyone the afternoon of the 23rd off with full pay.

Muslims don't drink. That's a fatwah.
Does this mean sex slaves for all, next jihad?
Thanks for the ping.
