religious biaswhy is it that muslims can wear their religious regalia, as can seikhs, hindu's, jews, etc etc, but christians can no longer wear a cross?? is it time we all converted to islam and became muslims??

Devil Worshippers  ............. they always disappeared into a hole in the ground at the end of my Dennis Wheatley books. 
I'm a Catholic I wore a cross, St.Christopher medal and Star of David on the same chain for years.
If you are talking about the BA employee it is company policy apparently that any jewellery worn around the neck must be below the uniform. I don't know why that is but it wasn't a new ruling. It covers any other type of necklace or pendant.

That seems very unfair Vailron I knew Sikhs could wear their turbans and muslims the hijab. The article I read didn't mention bangles. Just rings and watches.
I think this will get sorted out now because there is too much bad feeling for the government to ignore the wishes of the majority for much longer.

it would seem that christianity is becoming a thnig to fear, even news readers no longer wear crosses, in case they offend others, but muslem women can wear veils, seikhs can wear turbans etc etc, i am not a christioan as such, but i do think things are getting out of hand

I know many Muslims and Hindus and none of them have any objection to Christian religious symbols being worn, nor to the celebration of Christian festivals such as Christmas and Easter. I receive Christmas cards from all of them and send cards for Eid to Muslim friends.
Those who choose to live here are quite free to follow their own religion and this should be respected, but they should also accept our right, as an at least nominally Christian country, to follow our own way of doing things, as long as we all act within the law. This latest business of the hiqab is not a religious requirement and does a grave disservice to the cause of integration and mutual respect.
