A school which was told it unlawfully excluded a Muslim pupil for wearing a traditional gown has won its appeal at the House of Lords.
The Court of Appeal had said Denbigh High School had denied Shabina Begum the right to manifest her religion in refusing to allow her to wear a jilbab.

But in a unanimous ruling, judges at the House of Lords overturned that.

They said the school had "taken immense pains to devise a uniform policy which respected Muslim beliefs".

It had done so "in an inclusive, unthreatening and uncompetitive way".

etc.

Such a pitty that common sense decisions like this arent the norm instead of the exception!

Anyone know what Cherie Blairs cut of the profits was from the appeal?

Cherie's cut

Probably enough to pay a month or two of mortgage - poor lamb!

It had done so "in an inclusive, unthreatening and uncompetitive way"

Thus the dismal state of Britains education system.

"When I were a lad", you had to be exclusive, threatening and very competitive at all times, in order to be 'cool'.

The NL Nanny State is turning out a generation that are either milksops or homicidal maniacs.

Common Sense

At what cost?
Read the details of the case.
This little ******* ***** ought to be sued into the ground for wasting taxpayers money. Viva la France (err, but only in regard to religious symbols)

"She would consult her lawyers about a potential appeal to the European Courts, she said. "

Oh GOD!! -- oops. I mean What the !!!!

She also doesn't know what proper attire is for muslim women. Probably brainwashed by the illiterate mullah at the local maddrasa.

I was watching that program the other week about Iran and was rather impressed (given the expectations I started with that is) . Female ministers, with headscarves, but none of that Burka crap. Some of the people we have been lumbered with in our society are more extreme than in the archetypal extreme Muslim country.

She is just a pawn. I wonder what the Muslim council of Britain have to say about the case ?
