MPACUK "unprepared for the unimaginable"

Despite all their efforts, a Muslim store is still selling dates produced in the Zionist entity. Horrors!

After recent events regarding a Muslim store, Sabar brothers, and their fondness of selling Israeli produce, MPACUK carried out a SUCCESSFUL campaign to remove Israeli produce from the store. We thought the campaign was done and dusted. Alhamdollillah, the store had acknowledged their error after a campaign by us and scores of complaints flooding in, they had backed down and had agreed to boycott Israeli products (or so we thought...)

However, we were unprepared for the unimaginable - we came across an article in the Jewish Chronicle dated 31.05.06, stating how this particular “shopkeeper is defying one of Britain’s biggest Muslim lobbying groups by continuing to sell Israeli produce.” MPACUK were flabbergasted to say the least...

Not quite believing the account to be true, and giving Sabar bros the benefit of the doubt, we rang the store, presenting them with an opportunity to refute the story, and to confirm what they had assured us of, that they had indeed boycotted Israeli products due to ethical and moral principles. Our MPACUK representative was fobbed off the first few times, on the grounds that the store was “too busy with customers” to discuss the matter.

When our spokesperson finally got through to someone, they were lo and behold verbally abused and threatened, to the extent of "If you want to discuss the matter (the Israeli dates issue in the Jewish Chronicle) then why don't you f****** come over here (Slough - where the store is situated) and we will sort this out 'ey?" We tried to reason with the brother, asking him to refrain from swearing and informing him that we would like to discuss this matter over the phone, rather than travelling for hours to the store. The conversation was of no avail, as the store neither refused to acknowledge the article nor gave any comment to deny that Osam Sabar had “no objection to selling anything from anywhere.” And that he didn’t “think of where a product comes from when [I] decide whether or not to stock it.” Ultimately the brother on the phone just hung up! (They obviously decided to ignore requests in previous conversations with MPACUK and members of the public to engage politely in a conversation!)

Later in the article, they refer to themselves as "Britain's Biggest Muslim website." I think I now know where the Zionist Conspiracy Research and Development Department has been aiming the new experimental Idiocy Ray.
