UK - School sacks Muslim woman after veil row

Good for them!

In October, a tribunal dismissed her claims of religious discrimination and harassment on religious grounds.

Which was the correct decision since the veil is not a religious symbol but is in fact, a radical Muslim statement.

Mrs Azmi had said she was willing to remove her veil in front of children, but not if male colleagues were present.

And yet when she was interviewed by the male head of the school she wore no veil and failed to mention she would be wearing it in school. Mrs. Armi is nothing more than an agent provocateur.

The dispute was brought as a test case under new religious discrimination regulations, the Employment Equality (Religion or Belief) Regulations 2004.

Which is what this case is really all about.

Now the courts need to reverse Mrs. Tony Blair's famous veil case.

At the time of the tribunal, she criticised government ministers who had intervened in the case, saying it made her "fearful of the consequences for Muslim women in this country who want to work".

You mean for those Muslim women whose male relatives will let them work, don't you? Here again, since the veil is not a religious symbol, Muslim women, those that are allowed to work by their male relatives, should have no fear of going to work. Just don't show up in a radical Muslim costume.

And what about the fears of those school children who were being taught by someone who looked like Darth Vader.

Mrs Azmi's case became a central part of a national debate on multiculturism in Britain.

As did UK Muslims fanatical reaction to the Muhammad cartoons.

Glad to see people in this country waking up to the danger of appeasing Muslims and standing up to them.

This site reported on her links to the extremist group Tablighi Jamaat. And it then turned out that she'd been told to wear the veil by one of their preachers.
