Actually, I would agree with this IF, and only IF, it applied all employers and all employees.
In other words, private companies should be free to hire and fire on whatever basis they chose. Governments are a little different, but they should be able to establish their dress codes, as long as it applied to all people equally.
In other words, if crosses could not be worn, neither could hajibs.

A lot of the customs that Muslims have come from tradition as well(Hadiths), not scripture!
Muslims are a protected class, so that doesn’t matter anyway. It’s evil White Christians that have to apologize for being horrible people. /s

Keep wearing them. It’s your stuff or your soul on which you place more value.
To: Cincinatus' Wife
Government lawyers also told the Strasbourg court that wearing a cross is not a generally recognised act of Christian worship... These "government lawyers" don't seem very bright. I wonder who told them that nonsense.

So does this go equal for Muzzies who have to pray five times a day to Mecca?

Well, if it’s requirements they want, Islam is the religion for England. The imams will tell you what your wife and daughter can wear and which hand to wipe your butt with.
Britain is going down the drain, after all the blood we shed on her behalf. What a waste.

How offensive to wear a gold or silver cross!!!
I know I'm living on the edge by doing this however...(gasp)....
Someone MUST show the totally offensive and horrendously in your face piece of metal!
Perhaps children should be removed from the room if anyone is reading this in the presence of minors.

It’s not as if the cross is as important to Christianity as the Burka is to Islam.

Governments are a little different, but they should be able to establish their dress codes, as long as it applied to all people equally. That is, in fact, how it should work and how one would interpret a Constitutional reading of our system.

EXACTLY!! We are told to 'carry' our cross daily. :) Let the godless idiots figure out that one!
To: Cincinatus' Wife
There are several passages of Scripture that clearly state that your Christianity is to be publicly displayed and not to be hidden under a bushel basket - for example:
You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden...” Matthew 5:14
