Police arrest woman for 'racially abusive' Facebook post banning Muslims from beauty salon because
Daily Mail (U.K.) ^ | 11/16/2015 | Stephanie Linning

A 43-year-old woman has been arrested over a 'racially abusive' message posted on a beauty salon's Facebook page.

The woman has been named locally as April Major, the owner of the beauty business in Bicester, Oxfordshire.

The post, made following the terrorist attacks in Paris, said the salon is 'no longer taking bookings from anyone from the Islamic faith' , 'whether you are UK granted with passport or not'.

It added: 'Sorry but time to put my country first'.

Thames Valley Police arrested the woman yesterday after receiving a number of complaints about the message.

She has been released on bail until 30 November.

It was also met with criticism online, with social media users branding the person behind the post 'racist', 'ignorant' and 'vile'.

Laura Burt wrote: 'Thank God you have been arrested! Foul woman you deserve all you get!'

Victoria Alice Brady posted: 'Fantastic news TVP! In the light of the attacks on Paris.'

Scott Woods said: 'Can put fake lashes on ignorance but you can't educate it. You've a LOT to learn...racist and ignorant.'

A Thames Valley Police spokeswoman said: 'We have arrested a 43-year-old woman in Bicester today after a number of complaints about a racially abusive post on social media.'

'The woman was arrested under section 19 of the Public Order Act which relates to the display of written material which is threatening, abusive or insulting with the intention of stirring up racial hatred, and for producing malicious communications.'

People saw something they didn't like on Facebook, so they CALLED THE POLICE? And the police not only didn't laugh it off, they ARRESTED this woman?

WTH?

Islam is a totalitarian death cult founded by a child rapist.

The UK has joined the PC clan and made it illegal to be “racially abusive.” Some British expats here in the US are glad they got out when they did.

Britain’s tolerance for the opinions and free expression of its own citizens has become a sad joke...

The EU is a totalitarian construct. It is loathsome thing that hopefully will die of its internal contradictions and detachment from reality.

Mixing case examples slightly, but ... if you don't bake the cake or sign the marriage license, you get arrested in the U.S.A. ... this is the coming "norm" if we don't fight it *now*.

An exceptional shift in policy in Europe now has to take place to restore muslims to their former lands. It may never happen.

Leftists are itching for the power to wield PC against people who disagree with them,
to the point of incarcerating or, ultimately, executing them.

If we tried to post on FR in England, we would all be facing jail time.

I see Daily Mail allows no public comments on this.

Maybe this will influence some patriots in the USA to exercise their free speech and help show the islamo morons the door.

Too bad the UK authorities don’t put as much effort into arresting terrorists as they do in going after beauty shop owners.

The UK hasn’t had free speech for many years.

I am aware of that. Few people are. The EU is a truly oppressive and abusive monstrosity, but then any entity pushing for the dissolution of national boundaries and identities is.

Time to begin calling for the pendulum to swing.

Constantinople for Christians, Jerusalem for Jews, Mecca (and only Mecca) for Muslims!
