As for BA, well, this is a christian country, for better or worse, and they are going to get in serious trouble if they, as a corporation, start dabbleing in social engineering. It didn't go too well when they tried to ditch the flag, seems they have failed to learn from that.   

The older I grow, the less tolerant of idiots I become.

Two people go into a bank both with their faces covered. One is female middle aged and arabic, the other is male teenaged and white. How is the security guard suposed to act?

I hope they are both treated respectfully and asked to either remove their masks or leave.

Respect is important, but it doesn't over ride comon sense.

Here to help.

Nope, she admits she didn't wear her veil when she was interviewed, by a male,

(its near the bottom)

Sky didn't cover the schools denomination just that she was to help muslim children intergrate with english culture. Which as was pointed out is a contradiction.

Thanks for the extra info, should stop thinking sky has all the answers, (which is another thread)

Anyway.

.... You know everytime an Orangeman marched down a particular road in belfast he was just affirming his identity.  His culture. 

And when the KKK went about in their full body veils, they were allegedly celebrating their culture and protecting their spirituality too.

And every time in Britain that a family clandestinely hushes up an honor killing or circumcises a baby girl.  Its part of an ancient cultural tradition. 

Of bullshit.   

No one has the right in this country to walk down the street with genital torture implements applied to themselves in public view.  No one has the right to walk down the street nude.  Why is the reverse the case?  Dont I have a right to wear my cock ring proudly in public?

As far as Im concerned everyone including employers are allowed to ask you to remove the full body smock of judgement and intimidation - As frankly its imposing a sexist, recidivist and fundamentalist interpretation of an otherwise progressive religion on your fellow human being.

We treat each other as equals.  Equals with the same standards.  In your house you can watch porn, own a shotgun and wear a full body veil while getting licked by a daschund - Its your choice, your option.

I agree that there is an Islamophobic culture being grown here - And its getting encouraged by Fundamentalist Islamic organisations that wish to retain their cultural rights of exploitation misery and inequality on their community.

Encouraged as every time this conflict occurs their dread fear of a culture in which the Fundamentalists have to recognise the rights of their own people draws further away. 

...I've lived in the cultural experiment front line to know that theres some brilliant people out there in all cultures.  And that its typically the old men with beards who tell you whats right and wrong who are the real bastards.

Fight the dark with the light of loving comedy.  Dont tear off veils.  If someone wants to willing make themselves a victim of a persecutory dogma - You can only help them by fighting against that dogma.  Not them.  And lets be clear the enemy is never Islam or Christianity or even Nationalism - Its the Fundamentalist bastards who use their twisted interpretations to feed their own lust for power.

Because they have small genitals.
