Drum made from pig skin irks Muslim couple

A drum made from pig skin, which was allegedly placed at the entrance of a departmental store irked a Muslim couple, who now has to undergo a cleansing ritual ('Tayamum') after accidentally touching the object.

Awg Deris claimed that he went to the store two days ago and touched the drum, only to be informed by a concerned Muslim sales staff that it was made from pigskin.

"As a Muslim nation which practises MIB concept and a nation of 'Zikir', the shop management should not display such items prohibited in Islam. "In other countries, the shop management will inform their customers of products such as shoes, handbags which are made from pig skin in view of its sensitivity to Muslims," he added.

"I express my frustration because no information was given. It shouldn't have been displayed. My concern goes to other customers who visit the departmental store and are not aware of this," he said.

They are not allowed to eat pork. There is nothing in the terrorist training manual about touching pork. Idiots.
