Fail to see why they would be offended- Easter egg chocolate isn't Halal anyway so a Muslim wouldn't be buying it no matter how the blurb was worded.
Nonsense, surely. I'll check when I do my shopping.
The tail wags the dog again...

Maybe the reason so many people want to live on our shores is because we are so thoughtful, compassionate and sensitive to those who might get offended.

When will this nonsense ever cease?
whaty next ?

all the displaced Muslims from Brussels will come over and murder us in our beds of course - not saying I kill you now but
m'enfin je vous battrai....
O my f God !

La adrabni is a useful phrase but may not work ( dont shoot ! )

this must be true as I read itday in and day out in AB

Now wonder on - if someone carried around a cross and had on it 'this is not a cross ' would it cease to be a cnristian symbol ?

I say not

an easter egg is an egg is an egg ( thx to Gert Stein)

it enlarges the market for chocco sellers
hello missus - he might say to a mustachioed muslim ( in a burqa because she is a gurl or a man in disguise ) chocco ? All the kids are eaing chocco this week end

and if she ( or he ) buys ... hey another sale - to a heathen but so what we alll have to live ....

Happens a lot in Leicester - Diwali - o that is a muslim feast I havent heard of, you say - where everyone finds an excuse to celebrate the feast of Light

Happyu SPring Festival TWR - oh easter isnt a christian word - it should be pascho-something
It'll be a marketing strategy rather than kow-towing to any form of PC.
Stick 'Easter' on something and you are narrowing your market, possibly.....remove any sort of religious association and you'll appeal to chocoholics everywhere.
Look forward to some interesting answers.
^Doh! Too late.
I have a pile of Cadbury Easter eggs here awaiting distribution. I've checked and although Easter isn't mentioned on the front of the box, there is a message on the side inviting us to 'Join in this Easter! Find out more about Cadbury's Easter activities on www.cadbury.co.uk/easter'

I wonder if The Star could be making this up? Surely not!
If anyone has Chocolate Eggs with Easter on the packaging and it offends you.
Please send them to me and I will dispose of them for you for free :-)
Best answer to Ab Editor again

Delphic I call him....
//Happens a lot in Leicester - Diwali - o that is a muslim feast I havent heard of..//

really Peter? who told you it was a muslim festival? you certainly won't have heard that on the Humberstone Road, where all the hindu sari shops are.....
Easter? Shurely zombie stone rolling festival.
have to laugh wife works in big cash n carry place all the indian and pakistani shop owners buying easter eggs by the dozens!!
Lots of the comments on that article follow the lines of:

"Shows you who these companies are loyal to eh?!"

Which, we assume means some kind of liberal conspiracy of chocolatiers. Coming over here (from here) with their compassion for others and quakerism.

BUT! Really it's just that it's easier to shovel chocolate for cash over the weekend if they take out relgious affiliation. No awkward questions being asked of parents about why easter is an egg, or whether the easter bunny is something to do with jesus or mohammed etc...

The enemy of the Christan chocolate lovers here is... marketing and capitalism?...

... Shall we talk about fixing that instead?
The goalposts are like Easter, movable.
Well done Douglas!

I wondered if the AB logo might have a cross in addition to the chick and eggs. ( Britain is after all. a Christian country ) ?
Nope chance I'm afraid Anne. Please feel free to send in any religious versions of logos you like in to the normal address and we'll consider them however.

Also, isn't the Easter story the resurrection, not the crucifixion? I'm out of practice.
The only reason for chocolate eggs to be called *Easter" eggs is to make money...has very little to do with any religious observations,and probably hasn't for a long time. The very fact they appear in the shops on the 1st of January speaks volumes. But there are always those who see fit to get their knickers in a twist and see conspiracies everywhere.
