There’s a difference between accommodating the religious beliefs of employees by allowing them to pray or take time off on holidays and forcing everyone else to accommodate them by preventing them from having a ham sandwich. But that’s what BooHoo clothing , a UK online retailer of trashy outfits, has done by declaring their workplace a Halal environment where no one is allowed to eat pork.
But it can’t end there. Muslims consider pigs an impure abomination, but they also consider dogs an impure abomination. That means Boo Hoo clothing outlets, like so many Muslim cabbies, will have to discriminate against the blind to accommodate Muslim superstition and bigotry.
The entire Muslim demand that other people be repressed and restricted is a symptom of Islamic intolerance and another reminder of why Islam is barely compatible with even variant versions of itself, let alone any other religion.
But considering many of the immodest non-burqa like clothes that Boo Hoo sells, the objections can’t stop there. If Muslims can demand that other employees at Boo Hoo clothing outlets not eat meat, why not force them to wear burqas too>
Boo Hoo clothing online stores were co-founded by Mahmud Kamani (Yes, there’s always going to be a Mohammed in there somewhere) and Carol Kane. Unfortunately rather than choosing to display tolerance toward his non-Muslim employees, Mahmud Kamani has decided to harass and discriminate against them instead.
And if you’re wondering what it’s like to work for Mahmud Kamani, here’s a glimpse from a posting by one of his employees.
I am currently working for a fashion company. It is owned by a Mr Kamani, and his sons are the managers. Now, these sons are arrogant, ignorant, rude and demanding to their employees. And they did absolutely nothing to gain this position of very considerable wealth and power, other than claim it by being related to it’s creator. And yet, they enjoy and indeed exploit their privileged position.
Mahmud Kamani, the most arrogant man I have ever met, strolls into work at about 11 or 12, and throws his weight around shouting at employees, and leaves about 3.
Mahmud Kamani’s son, Umar Kamani (aka UmarBooHoo, no seriously it’s his Twitter handle) is running another online fashion trash store called Pretty Little Things.
Neither of the Kamanis have enough religious scruples to prevent them from selling clothes that Islam deems immodest, yet they feel that they can dictate what their employees eat in the name of Islamic law. But if they could make money selling pork, they would do it. And that is yet another reminder that Islam is a hypocritical religion. It is not about faith, but about power over others.
And when it comes to ethics, Mahmud and Umar Kamani don’t appear to treat their customers any better than they treat their employees based on some of these complaints.

I ordered off the sister website Pretty little things. After receiving a “size 5″ pair of boots they were more like a size 7. Sent them bak to 21three ltd in burnley as stated THREE WEEKS AGO and still no refund after numerous attempts of emailing. So far I’m down £34.00. Pathetic scummy robbing thieves I am NEVER shopping with pretty little things/boohoo ever again. U think ur gettin bargain but seriously don’t bother with them as u will receive poor service. It’s ok for one of the directors umar kumani recently jetting off to Dubai isn’t it whilst ppl like me who fund it!!!!SCUM!! Dodgy as!!Mintonlamb

I then went about trying to receive a refund, and where are they? NOWHERE to be found. Not a single reply to any of the emails sent. It’s not even that their customer service is bad, it’s just non-existent! Once they have your money, it’s clear they want nothing more to do with you. Awful company, would not use again.Name: Hooboo

Hey, In regards to your previous emails BOOHOO are known nationally as Pinstripe, They have been conning out people for the last 15 year’s making people bankrupt and taking loads of money through tax fraud!
Now that they have conned out over 40 companies they are living the high life driving rolls royce phantoms with people’s hard worked money!
I would strongly suggest anyone who wishes to view there products NOT TO PURCHASE anything! as they will only scam you and take your money! they feel they can do so as there is no third party to over look there books! or service!
They also have a new website called PRETTY LITTLE THINGS! Do not purchase of them also as you will only get the same service!They are based in Manchester and are the biggest crooks in the Industry! they will do this eventually to everyone! people who have had good service off them before im happy for you but as I know them personally I would recommend you not to put money in their filthy pockets!
The owner can be found on twitter!
UMAR KAMANI
NARAZ KAMANI
JALAL KAMANIIf you are to ask anybody in the fashion industry they will tell you the real truth about these scum bags!
Also I would strongly advise people to go to watchdog! or some other big firm which can look into this company!
Reading the above comments only shows a small handfull of people who have been robbed! many other customers have probably not even bothered to find this site! as they have given up hopeEverybody who commented above should create a flash mob and post a comment on their facebook page at a set time and date!
As poor customers posting one thing at a time will only get deleted!
This should be taken to newspapers!As I have just recently read they made over £139,000 Profit in the last year meaning all these refunding items are being declared as sales and not refunds!
PLEASE DO NOT BUY FROM BOOHOO.COM!
OR PRETTY LITTLE THINGS.CO.UKPINSTRIPE SHOULD BE MADE BANKRUPT!
Normal in a world of fools. Will we eat what the doss Obama orders.
haha, this is the supidest one-liner I have ever read. Is this sarcasm? Or are you really this stupid?
I am gonna get a Vietnamese Pot Belly Pig as a Pet. That combined with my three rifles and semi auto hand gun ought to keep unwanted visitors off my property.
Pork that.
I feel like I should make a "personal lubricant" (cough) fashioned from pig lard, and probably make a killing selling it where muslim rape gangs are pervasive. Just tell the rapists that the parts they want to invade are defiled by the subcutaneous fat of the Evil Pig, maybe that'll deter them? And don't forget to mention you just had bacon or ham.
I would so not go to work for a company like that. You know what's ironic? The general antisemitism found in historical (and modern) muslim attitudes would have you believe that Jewish merchants are this bad!
I intend to tell any Muslim that demands my conversion that I've eaten pork so often that there is no point for me to go Muslim. Just look at this belly roll. It contains pork fat RIGHT NOW! I'm probably banned from Muslim Heaven forever.
Odd, but strict Muslims remind me of pigs…
Has "amused" lost his sense of humour?
he never had one to begin with…
I wouldn't expect anything else from you Mary Sue , you can't read beyond the next sentence you type out in your posts . Judging by your posts , I would magine you can't read anything before it neither .
meaningless miss the point statement is meaningless.
Stop speaking out your rear end OZ , everyone on this blog knows my position on Islam . .
Yeah, you don't like it but you still bend over for it…
Well, the filmmaker was jailed (in effect) for daring to slander the profit of Islam. Can outlawing ham, pork and bacon be far behind? Not to mention dogs as in the article.
The Brits of all people by this late date in time , and given their apparent bending over for their muslim guests [a.k.a. FREELOADERS ] should know better than anyone else what it will entail working for muslims . Since the Uk is not showing any signs of cultural or social backlash against these barnbarians in their midst , I would give Brits the same advice I would give the whining muslims in the US who complain in supermarket jobs they wont check out pork products ….go find another source of employment . Atleast in Minnesota the muslim cabbies who refuse a fare because of a seeing eye dog , packaged alcohol or some other muslim B.S. – loose their place in the que and/or face suspension / And of course there's the boycott .I wouldn't buy a thing from any firm in the US that was Halal …PERIOD . To muslims working n places where the cafeteria serves pork prducts ? Bring a box lunch or get another job .
JCS , not in this country , theres always zanax for your anxiety . Your analogy is not a good one since the "filmaker " duped all his associates , potentially putting their lives in danger albeit , such offenders would be jailed , but that would be too late wouldn't it ? In addition , the "filmaker " was on probation , with prejuidice in that he was not allowed on the internet for the purpose he employed , he was not allowed to use aliases , as he did , and whether you nor I LIKE IT OR NOT , he acted irresponsibly knowing full well the inevitable implications of what his actions would cause . Benghazi was not the only US asset that came under fire , American lives lost [no matter what was done wrong in Benghazi ] were put at risk including our soldiers and civilian personnel in muslim lands .
So in other words, give in to every muslim demand and by God don't offend the little savages right? Get an effing backbone and take a stand.
oh so you're still going by the "it was the video!" claim that it was what caused the things in Benghazi, even after it's been proven that it wasn't? It appears you don't read anything past what the drive by media puts out.
The idea of capitulation to claims that the filmmaker put lives in danger just by uploading the video is disturbingly anti-freedom. Why should we capitulate to insane people?
Maybe the Christians have been doing it wrong all this time. All they needed to do to get their way was be violent and threaten to murder people to delete abortion and gay marriage and whatever! Thanks, amused-bouche! You've told them what they need to do to get their way!
JCS , if you think this a vital matter of free speech , then I suggest you make your own Mohammed film , a realtively easy task , then upload it to you tube . If you feel you're morally right , then the results shouldn't trouble you at all . And if the filmaker thought he was being such a stalwart of Free Speech , then A) why did he use an alias B) why did he dupe his entire cast C) WHY does he cover his face ???
I'm not siding with muslims whom I despise , I'm siding with common sense .
In addition the added stupidity of violating your parole on the public stage . As I stated before , there's no law that will get you thrown in jail for not paying a traffic ticket on time , but if you happen to be on parole you get violated ,and sent back to jail . So dont worry about your bacon for breakfast , it ain't going nowhere .
unfortunately that which you profess to be common sense, is not. You are only teaching people that to get their way they have to act violent and kill people, then you'll let them.
This story demonstrates why DHIMMI cowards are ill respected by everybody.
pretty amazing when tolerance is a one way street. Be tolerant of my freakin beliefs, but don't expect me to be tolerant of yours. England is toast.
"A quick reminder to everyone, on religious grounds we request that all employees and agency workers refrain from having abortions or ingesting abortifacients on any company premises.
"We kindly ask that everyone respects this rule. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to let me know."
What's good for the goose…
a muslim owner of a dress shop is not the Catholic Church.
also it is hypocritical of the shop because they sell clothing that is immodest under Islam so they don't have a leg to stand on.
Its good to not eat pork. Yes I know im a muslim so all you porkieworkie lovers should quit porkyworkying and stop eating pork. it is haram and very filthy animals. They are very cute, but also are very filthy.
Aiooda12: they may be "filthy animals", but they're a lot smarter, cleaner and more pleasant than any of the numerous Muslims that I know.
