Re: Muslim woman wearing veil 'refused bus ride' in London

Another "muslim moans" story hmm do we really want to bother with this.
Another? How about all the made up 'Muslim this bans PC gorn mad' stories? We bother with them all the time on here. Are you saying the entire religion ought to suck up the lies and smears without protest, or exercise the right of free speech?

Anyway, it's sort of a rule of mine that 'x banned from bus' stories are generally false unless strong proof emerges - remember that 'Polish bus driver' story a few months back that turned out to be someone's attempt to get money out of the Sun for old rope. Then there are all the 'Muslim bus driver banned my dog' stories which are likewise iffy - obviously any driver making such a decision is going to be heavily disciplined - what usually turns out to happen is that either a passenger was complaining or the driver was exercising his right of discretion over allowing dogs on board. You can't actually tell someone's religion by looking at them, but people know that dropping the word 'Muslim' into a story increases the publicity factor.
