So Mum takes a passport application form into a Post Office and the person behind the counter refuses to accept the picture as her daughter has bare arms and might upset a Muslim! Neither the Post Office nor the Passport office has such a rule so this was simply the whim of an official. Like the whims of the Nazi official deciding to send some to the chamber and others not to. Power. This post office worker should be charged without any doubt for racial incitement. Then sacked. The mother, of course, should have asked to see the relevant section of the Passport legislation which states such a thing and refused to move until it was (which it couldn't have done!)

I don't like to see Muslims wear the full dress (Burqa). As a westerner I believe it to be hiding, not being open. If I wore a balaclava over my head, do you seriously think I could board a train or plane, yet we allow this garment where we do not even know if it is male or female. We must tolerate but we must all be treated equally also. One law for all is the basis of a democracy and it's one we invented.
