Muslim doctors and nurses are to be allowed for religious reasons to opt out of strict NHS dress codes introduced to prevent the spread of deadly hospital superbugs.
The Department of Health has announced that female Muslim staff will be permitted to cover their arms on hospital wards to preserve their modesty.
This is despite earlier guidance that all staff should be ‘bare below the elbow’ after long sleeves were blamed for spreading bacteria, leading to superbug deaths.

As a Jew, how can I be anti semitic against myself?
This is not anti semitism... Its about double standards..

Not all muslims are semites.. Some are asian, american british, white, black, brown... Stop accusing racism when there is no racism here, just double standards... Islam is not a race but a religion... That card gets played too often to stifle debate.... It wont work here....

Its hard to be objective with things like this... So how do we proceed in an objective discussion about a group of people who single themselves out for special treatment? Do we keep quiet about it? Or do we speak up? But you speak up and get accused of hate
I dont hate Muslims... But I do hate legislation that gives special treatment to a minority religious culture that does not want to integrate and behave like they are in another country... I dont blame them though.. I blame the government for giving to much to them from the get go, then they take a mile after it....
Another instance is the ridiculous complaints of a mock mosque built for troop training on a firing range... It upsets their sensibilities apparently.. .......
