For example and not even aimed at a Muslim .
S11 of the Employment Act 1989 exempts Turban wearing Sikhs from wearing safety helmets on building sites etc
The Religious Exemption Act 1976 passed by the British Parliament in 1976, Section 2A allows Turban wearing Sikhs not to wear helmets on bikes
these are exemptions to British law that has been in place or was put in place years ago and I believe its the tip of a huge iceburg

Oh yeah and what about the fact they are allowed to to carry a Kirpan?? I can not even buy a butterfly knife to play with let alone caryr one |
That's all you can come up with?Those hoary old stories..Nothing more recent?And yet this is a Muslim bashing thread so surely we have made great swathes of laws to accommodate them..I've Never even heard of anyone being killed with a Kirpan and if Sikhs want to endanger their own lives by not wearing helmets that's their lookout..they can no doubt sort out insurance and all the other Health safety issues involved for themselves.
Or is the old fashioned laws that we have always had, about people in a DEMOCRACY being free to wear what clothes they choose not enough?
But we have banned fox hunting,smoking what's one more freedom lost eh?Then we can ban alcohol and anything anyone thinks needs banning.We'll have curfews for teenagers next as some of them actually go out and get into trouble at night.Maybe all those who go fishing will find themselves the target of the anti blood sports fraternity?
Women wearing Burkhas are not a great security issue..they will accommodate themselves to security issues and I haven't seen the papers reporting about women refusing to show their faces during security checks which the Daily Fail or the Sun would be more than willing to make front page news..
No this is an ism..Not sure if it's racism religeonism or fascism but it is a stamping on people's personal freedoms.
Who the hell are you to tell me what I can or cannot wear in the streets of the Greatest Democracy of a free world?
That's reserved for place like Iran and I don't want to follow their example.
