#1 If we're lucky, the Pharmacist took the pills home for his OWN wife and daughters.

#2 Reminds me of the several instances of London muslim cab drivers refusing to embark blind passengers... because of the unclean guide dogs.
Cultural sensitivity is a one-way street only.

#3 It's his religion, not mine

Yes, but his religion rules that it's superior to yours, and this becomes engrained in his behavior, if only as a cultural default hardwiring. He doesn't have to respect your choices, because his are the Holiest(Tm).

#4 That is just disgusting but very widespread and not confined to Islamic sensibilities.

Doctors often bring their personal politics to their jobs: medical schools should make a greater effort to drum it into future doctors that they should leave their politics at home and do their jobs impartially.

#5 This has been happening in the US, too. I'm sympathetic up to a point with people not wanting to violate their personal beliefs, but if you can't do the job, you need to find another line of work.

#6 "...the pharmacist was a "deeply religious Muslim".

Not so.

A good Muslim would have invoked takiyya, handed over the drugs, and basked in the knowledge that there's one less potential infadel on which to dull the scimitar.

#7 I am a little bit sympathetic on this one and just for the record, I'm not against the morning after pill.

She can take her business elsewhere. In fact anyone who doesn't like that policy can take their business elsewhere. If he was working for a government funded pharmacy - I'd feel differently about this.

#8 Never set foot in this establishment again. Now that you're aware of a scumbag Muzzie there, take your trade and $ elsewhere, please.

#9 Time to place the Islamohazard symbols outside the shop.

#10 The Washington State Pharmacist's Ass'n tried to institute a similiar thing this past year, and the state gov't actually had the balls to tell them that was not a good idea. So they backed down. I don't know what shocked me more, the druggist's arrogance, or the state actually growming a set ( or probably just borrowed some)
