Angry parents hounded a woman out of her job at a Muslim girls school because they believed she was a man.
Shifa Patel, a 28-year-old secretary, was accused of hiding her masculinity beneath a traditional headscarf and robes.
The hate campaign started when photographs of a short-haired Miss Patel wearing a shirt and trousers were spotted on Facebook. They were copied and emailed to dozens of concerned parents as 'proof' that Miss Patel was a man.
In a bid to defuse the rumours, she underwent a humiliating medical examination to prove that she was in fact a woman. But parents refused to believe the results and the headteacher resorted to writing to all parents assuring them the secretary wasn't a man. Miss Patel was finally forced to quit after a mob of parents gathered at the Al-Islah Muslim Girls School in Blackburn and demanded governors sack her immediately.

Her crime was obviously appearing on Facebook in a shirt and trousers. She was lucky not to be stoned.
If they didn’t force their women to wear tents, this situation wouldn’t be a problem. ;-)
I guess Janet Napolitano and Rachel Madcow would be out of the question, huh?
Shoulda had Mick Dundee check her/him out. Took him .75 seconds to pronounce, “You ain’t no sheila.”
This is a real shame. Its too bad we can’t get these head strong parents to speak out about the admin, with the same pi$$ & vinegar it took to run an innocent person out of her job. I do not agree with the head scarves, and as Doc put it, tents...but after the woman turned out to be innocent of the accusation, they should have left her alone.
I’m a Christian, and I sure as hell don’t like it when I see Christian rights being thrown in the toilet, while muslim rights are expanding - having said that, I don’t like when INNOCENTS from ANY religion are persecuted simply because of their religion or ethnicity.

I don’t believe its okay even if it is in your own group. When the accused was found to be innocent, she should have been left alone.
