However in the Uk we become tolerant for example in the 70's we have specific acts to allow the slaughter of animals (halal and Kosher), carrying of ceremonial daggers, changes in traffic laws etc..

Problem is it makes life easier for minorities but still doesn't change our attitude.

I never ever get involved in discussions like this, but i feel compelled to respond on this occasion.

Firstly, if memory serves, the hairdresser in question simply did not think it right that she should employ someone who was not prepared to show her own hair. The employer was not racist or anti muslim and I am sure she would have declined to employ ANYONE that insisted on wearing a headscarf. Yet, she was fined which was an appalling decision.

In the UK, we have become more tolerant, but perhaps we have become too tolerant. At the moment, we have 2 high ranking Asian policeman who were conceivably promoted beyond their abilities, taking the MET police to a tribunal claiming they were denied promotion because they were not white or Christian. The problem with becoming too tolerant is that anyone who does not get what they want can immediately play the race or religion card.

I honestly think that in England we have bent over backwards to try not to offend Muslims or ethnic minorities, but nothing seems to be good enough. Christmas celebrations have been cancelled in many offices, Christmas cards and Christmas lights have had to be renamed, but still there are some that will whinge. Muslim fanatics that rampaged through Oxford Street with "Kill all non believers" placards went unmolested whilst an aged couple of Christians were pulled in by the police and questioned for 4 hours for daring to hand out leaflets questioning the positives of the growth of Islam in the UK. It is not the ethnic minorities or Muslims that are being oppressed in the UK my friend, it is the English.

It appears to be perfectly in order to advertise jobs where applications only from Ethnic Minorities will be considered, but God help anyone that placed an advert for White Christians only. They would be in court before you could blink.

Perhaps we should not be changing our laws and customs to suit others, but expect just a little effort for them to have respect for ours.

Unlike you, i have not studied law and i have never spoken to a professor. I am just an ordinary Englishman who feels like it is now illegal in the UK, to be White, Christian and proud of it.
