Council Shuts Down Bookseller for Selling Knights Templar Mugs Deemed ‘Offensive to Muslims’
Breitbart ^ | 10/13/2017 | Jack Montgomery

Posted on 10/13/2017 6:40:14 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

A local council in the United Kingdom has banned a rare bookseller from having a stall in Loughborough Market after someone complained that novelty mugs she had for sale could be “offensive to Muslims”.

The mugs, sold by 56-year-old stallholder Tina Gayle, featured Knights Templar iconography and their Latin motto, which is based on the words of Psalm 115:1 — “Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.”

Ms. Gayle told MailOnline the council sent her a letter asking her to remove the mugs, and when she said this was ridiculous and refused, she received an outright ban from the market.

‘It’s very unfair,” she said. “You’re meant to have three written warnings before expulsion and they didn’t do that. It was apparently something so bad they were banning me completely.”

Put the mugs on line. I’ll buy a couple. Maybe I’ll send one to the local mosque for Christmas

Oh, wait. We don’t have a local mosque. Praise be to allah! :^).

Then I assume mugs with the Knights Hospitallers are out of the question?

I’ll bet they wouldn’t have said a word if they’d been selling “Allahu Akbar” mugs (or whatever the hell it is that those 7th century savages shout just before they detonate themselves).

I guess none of the council members’ family members have been raped by muslims...that may change their opinions.

Oh the horror!!!

The offending mugs feature a drawing of a knight and are branded with the Latin motto which translates to: 'Not to us Lord, not to us, but to Your Name give the glory'

They will have to change all the flags of northern Europe soon. They all have crosses on them and muslims will be offended.
