Why would the crosses even be seen? I never take my cross off and doubt few have ever even seen it.

I bet this “judge” has NO problem with homosexuals wearing rainbox flag pins.

IIRC, the hijab is not required by the Koran. So what is their point?
Or do muzzies get special dispensations from leftist dominated bureaucracies and judiciaries?

“did not prevent either of them practicing religion in private”

The words of liars and hypocrites, when Muslims can pray, PUBLICLY, in mass on PUBLIC streets!!!

It serves no end to wear your religion on your sleeve.

Doesn’t it? Maybe; maybe not, but that’s not really the point, is it?

What a farce. You don’t even have to point to the muslims on this one. The British transportation sector has been full of turban wearing Sikh’s for decades. It’s only Christian and Jewish religious symbols that get this kind of treatment for the governmental “equality” gestapo.

Doesn’t say anything at all about the nature of the business. But no one, repeat NO ONE, wears jewelry of any sort in my shop. I’ve seen rings kill one guy and cost two others fingers. A neck chain wrapped around a lathe spindle is nothing short of spectacular. I simply tell my people I’m not interested in cleaning up their blood puddle because they were wearing their cool stuff. Sometimes wives are a little slow on the uptake when hubby pockets his wedding ring but I just show them what 50 tons can do to a ring finger——they get over it.

Freedom is each man deciding for himself what offends him.
Tyrany is each man deciding for others what offends him.

All the Pope has to do to end this nonsense is order all Caholics to wear crosses, proclaiming the “year of the cross.”

I recently had a Facebook argument with my brother-in-law’s niece about religion in public schools. She said it was okay if muslim students prayed five times a day in school because their religion required it, but not Christians because Christianity doesn’t require it. She makes my head explode. Oh yeah, she’s an unbelieving Jew and loves Obama.

When I graduated from HS, my mom gave me a gold chain and a small gold cross. I wasn't really that religious at that point but I knew she gave it to me with love and it was a beautiful piece of jewelry in itself, religious meaning or not.

I never pierced my ears 20 times, covered myself in tattoos, died my hair green (maybe some highlites!) or wore clothes that showed my a** off. And I'll be damned if any one is going to tell me I can't wear my mothers cross.

If you don't allow a Muslim to wear whatever head gear or dress they want, you're a bigot. How does a cross/crucifix necklace do anything but express your beliefs and who you are? Will the next thing be to not let people into a certain work place because they are Christian, if they wear a cross or not?

That's why praying is commanded again and again in the bible, phrases like "pray unceasingly"... oy vey.

“There is a difference between the professional sphere where your religious freedoms necessarily abut onto and confront other interests and the private sphere. The employees concerned could indeed pursue all the generally recognised manifestations of their religion outside the work sphere.”

The QC also told the court that, unlike the Muslim headscarf for women, wearing a cross is not a “generally recognised” act of Christian worship and is not required by scripture. “A great many Christians do not insist on wearing crosses at all, still less visibly,” he said.

Bottom line, it's ok for Muslims, not Christians. They can try to spin and rationalize like liberals do, but anyone who doesn't have their liberal blinders on can see that this is about attacking Christianity, nothing else.
