WOOLWORTHS is wishing some customers a "Happy Ramadan" — but not everybody is celebrating.

The supermarket giant has Ramadan promotions in 239 stores in areas with big Muslim populations.

At Sunshine's Marketplace Woolworths, posters and a display of nuts and dried fruit greet customers.

The month-long Islamic religious festival involves fasting in daylight hours.

But some customers have complained the promotion is offensive and un-Australian.

On the supermarket's Facebook page, one person accused the chain of "pandering to a minority".

Another said: "I find this kind of advertising OFFENSIVE, as an Australian & as a female!!!".

And another said the signs were offensive to her beliefs and she would boycott stores where they were displayed.

Woolworths spokesman Russell Mahoney said the promotion was running in 239 stores around Australia.

"We celebrate as many international festivities as possible to support the diverse population of Australia," he said.

That included Diwali, Lunar New Year and Passover.

Islamic Council of Victoria secretary Ghaith Krayem welcomed Woolworths' promotion and said people who opposed such initiatives did so out of ignorance and unsubstantiated fears.

"Ramadan is a time of reflection and renewal and maybe it is also a time for all of us to be inclusive rather than push each other away."

Oh! For F's sake?! What's the go with making these sand niggers welcome?

I hate to hear that about the Woolworths stores... they shut there doors here in the states back in 1997-98. I remember them when I was a kid, of course that was a long time ago and we defiantly had a brighter and whiter world back then. But in the big scheme of things I would not worry about the Woolworths stores catering to the muslims/sand niggers/niggers, as much as I would about the muslims themself and the muslims religion... What the muslims have done with there religion is what "We Creators" must do, band together behind our beloved White Race and teach our children the truth, we are different, we  are smarter and to co-mingle with niggers or any type mud race is only detrimental to the White Race. I realize there is little to no hope for a lot of people who are members of the "White Race", but I urge each Creator to be on the lookout for Members of the White Race who are searching for a answers and realize that the "Big Spook in the Sky book" the bible was wrote to destroy the white race, bring them in your circle, introduce them to "NER and the  White Mans Bible"

A Hindu man who ate beef that was wrongly labelled as lamb has asked the supermarket to pay for his flights back to India so he can be cleansed by priests.

Jaswinder Paul claims he bought the meat from Countdown Blenheim on New Zealand's South Island in September.

He said he cooked the contents and began eating it before discovering the dish was beef instead of lamb, as labelled. 

In the Hindu culture, cows are considered sacred and not to be touched.

By eating beef, Mr Paul said he broke his religious vow and needed to be flown back to India to be 'purified' by priests, stuff.co.nz reported.

'According to my religion, I have to go back to my country and do sacred things for four to six weeks, and be purified by priests, so I can continue on my religious path. It's a long process,' he said. 

Mr Paul said he would have to close his small business to pay for the overseas trip, which would substantially affect his income.

He also said his family has stopped talking to him since he ate the beef

Mr Paul approached Countdown who apologised for the mistake and offered him a $200 gift voucher.

He rejected the gift voucher and is requesting the supermarket pay for his travel abroad for his purification.

Following several months without a reply, Mr Paul went back to Countdown in February.

The supermarket once again apologised to him and said the gift voucher still stood.

Furious at their response, Mr Paul is now seeking compensation through the courts.

'I don't want to go to court against a big corporation. I just want to go home,' he told the publication.

'I understand this looks like a simple matter, but for me this is very hard. I break my religion [vows] because of someone else's negligence
