When Multi-Culturalism is Exploited To Favor Islam: Sharia vs. Suckling?

When a breast-feeding mother was 'told to leave council headquarters because she would offend Muslim visitors' being in a ‘multicultural building’.

That's odd because I distinctly remember see Muslim women breast-feeding in public, albeit modestly, in the street and on buses when I lived in the Old City in Jerusalem.  Not to mention this weird item on adult suckling.

The story:
A mother was ordered not to breastfeed her baby in public because she was in a ‘multicultural building’.

Emma Mitchell, 32, was about to feed 19-week-old son Aaron when a receptionist at a town hall warned her to stop (btw, there is a law in the UK which allows nursing mothers to breastfeed in public)...‘It was just awful. I felt humiliated, intimidated and guilty through the whole thing,’ she said. ‘What I was doing was one of the most natural things a mother can do. You hear everywhere that breast is best for your baby, so why wouldn’t I be allowed to do that?’

The incident occurred when Mrs Mitchell, from Oldham, was in the Citizens’ Advice Bureau in Oldham Civic Centre...the manager...told me that I couldn’t breastfeed here and to go into the shopping centre’s public toilets instead.

...Michelle Booth, 38, a friend who was at the civic centre, said: ‘I don’t understand. It’s political correctness gone mad when they’re worried about offending people of other cultures over something so natural.’

Sharia vs. Suckling?

Don't forget, the native English are now second class citizens in their own country and are not allowed to benefit from "equality" laws.
