If you're going to plan a daylong gala with a strict dress code, prayer areas, events segregated by sex and no gambling, alcohol or music, what would you call it? Why, Muslim Fun Day, of course.
Shockingly, the plans were a big flop, and the event was called off due to a lack of ticket sales:
Organisers had hoped to fill a niche for Britain's 1.7 million Muslims, some of whom may be uncomfortable with mainstream entertainment.
But the fun day had caused some consternation: a non-Muslim couple scheduled to hold their wedding at the park's hotel complained to newspapers that event organisers told them the bride and female guests would have to cover up.
