LONDON (AFP) — A Bosnian Muslim waitress has demanded compensation from the London bar where she worked over a red dress she was asked to wear, British media reported Thursday.
Fata Lemes, 33, told an employment tribunal that she felt forced to wear the sleeveless dress with a low neckline and an open back, thought the Rocket bar was run like a "sex club" and filed for 20,000 pounds in compensation......

Throw the Muslims out of England!
She can find a new job where she can wear a burkha. When you work at a bar, you’re expected to follow protocol. Burkhas do not belong in bars. Women with burkhas on their minds don’t belong working in bars.
I hope she loses her case.
Red dress is a no-no but selling alcohol is okay? Something doesn’t add up. But then again, it is a mooslim.
I don’t get these people quite honestly. Not just Muslims but the people in general who think they can go in and change a company based on it’s policy. Nobody forced her to apply there to work. I’m willing to bet there’s more to this story than what’s being said.
She wore the dress?
The filthy whore should be stoned to death as as an honor killing for disgracing the men in her family!
(hey, it's her religious tradition!)
This is a Muslim tactic employed while they are still in the minority. That is, to try to use the liberal laws of a welcoming country to assist their agenda. CAIR is involved in it all the time. Remember the “flying imams” out of Minneapolis?
I'd hit it..............with a 2X4.
Why not move to Coal Country and work as a Coal Miner? You’ll be covered from head to foot in coal dust; that ought to cover you up enough to please Allah.
What? You can’t SUE based on working conditions like that?
Well, slap my @ss and call me Sally!
I’m so SICK of this, “My Religion! My Religion!”
Well, I’m sorry. That defense doesn’t work for Catholic Wal-Mart Pharmacists who don’t want to dispense birth control and it SHOULDN’T work for YOU!
Find a JOB that suits your religious beliefs. I’m sick to DEATH of ‘religious beliefs’ being forced upon employers.
(And I’m a boring, old, hard-core, Missouri Synod Lutheran. I’m as ‘by the book’ as they come. Live your LIFE according to your beliefs...or STFU.)
LOL I guess her next law suit will demand that the bar cease selling alcoholic beverages as a "reasonable accommodation" to her religion. Good comedy writes itself Just wish the idiots weren't so serious about it.
You seem to be outraged.
she has a choice not to work there.
other jobs abound.
she felt forced to wear the sleeveless dress....
she sold out her faith for a few sheckels from the Infidels!
I'd hit it.
Wouldn't tell anyone.
Ever.
Then just f-n quit. They are an at-will employer. They can fire you! It’s their right! I’m so sick of these f-n “poor me, accommodate me” people.
Burkhas in bars... when beer goggles aren’t enough.
