I think if I went to school for 8 or 10 years or however long dentists have to go to school to become dentists, that I would feel like I had the right to run my office the way I wanted to, that I would not need to compromise my religious beliefs or choose between my religious beliefs or "my job." I would consider myself working for myself after all that training, not some peon who had to tiptoe around to appease some higher up boss's arbitrary regulations.
Also, I was confused by the title of this thread which implied that this dentist was requiring full burkha covering for women, when in actuality the only dress part the dentist was concerned with here was the head dress and only for his muslim patients, nobody else.
My personal opinion is that this is one more hatemongering story launched by the Zionist media to provacateur more wars and more killing of families, more little kids with their legs and arms blown off, their faces all pocked with those burn bombs being used, more teenaged boys being hauled off to torture dungeons to be raped and tortured to death by sickos.
This has got to end. The Muslim people are decent, god-fearing, kind and loving people, good family people, and we could take some lessons from them in how to treat our family members and neighbors. Their lifestyle is what is winning them millions of converts, as opposed to Westerners lifestyle which is destroying our families and our society

Or conversely, you could actually bother to read the original article, where the complaints came from muslims, in particular the women who states
Mrs F told the panel: 'I was extremely annoyed. It's my choice if I wear a Hijab or not. But he told my husband he wouldn't treat any of us until I did.
I mean, lets not let the fact quoted in the article that it was muslims complaining about the guy that bought this story about.
Oh no - just try and get another boot in eh?

They are winning a lot of converts, not by force, but persuasion. They are a sect of Christianity, the Muslim religion, an offshoot of Christianity, or rather Catholicism, which is an offshoot of Christanity.

The Hindu Forum of Britain claims hundreds of mostly Sikh and Hindu girls have been intimidated by Muslim men who take them out on dates before terrorising them until they convert.

What distinguished this case from other black gang trials is that the victim was apparently killed after the Muslim Boys attempts to force him to convert to their brand of Islam had failed.

The fact is, people hate Muslims, and resent them being allowed to practice their religion, that any accommodation be made for them in any way, because people think they are barbarians who carry knives in their teeth and are waiting to cut somebody's head off because they are Muslims.

We all know who the elephant in the room is, our continued refusal to address such issues in case we offend someone will be our collective downfall in the long run.

As stupid as I may think this is, the good dentist owns a private business and can serve who he wants and not who he doesn't. If as a businessman he's stupid enough to turn away potential customers because they don't meet his religious standards, that's his choice. I really don't see a problem with this.
How is this a private practice? His office is NHS funded. Therefore, he can not discriminate.
'He made compliance with Islamic dress code a condition of treatment, which is entirely inappropriate under the auspices of the National Health Service.
'Patients should have access to NHS treatment regardless of their religious observance, or otherwise.'
