A Coventry Morrisons which displayed pork products next to Ramadan items has been accused of ‘mocking’ Muslims. Staff had reportedly made the blunder at Morrisons on Skipworth Road in Binley.

In an image obtained by CoventryLive, £1.50 ‘Mr Porkys Crispy Strips’ were displayed next to a stand containing ‘Ramadan Stickers.’ Muslims are forbidden by the Quran from eating pork.

Shoppers slammed Morrisons on Facebook, with one saying they were ‘deliberately mocking’ Muslims. Another said they would be ‘boycotting’ the major chain and described the move as ‘passive-aggressive.’…

A spokesman for Morrisons said: “We take this really seriously and can confirm this has been rectified. Whilst it was an isolated incident, we apologise for any offence caused and are working hard to ensure this does not happen again.”
