A Toronto barbershop has found itself at the centre of a human rights complaint after its barbers refused to cut a woman's hair.
Faith McGregor, 35, went to the Terminal Barber Shop on Bay Street, back in June looking for a haircut.
But she was turned away.
The barbers, who are all Muslim, told her their religion didn't allow them to cut the hair of a woman who is not a member of their family.
McGregor filed a human rights complaint.

Pertinent quote from later in the article:
"I want the shop to be cited and forced to give haircuts in the fashion they provide [barbershop style] to any woman, or man that asks for one," she said.
I do love seeing sacred cows lock horns: in this case, the religious rights of a minority vs. the almighty Human Rights Commission. I'm makin' popcorn.

I’m actually OK with them refusing as any business should be able to do.
Me personally, I’ll pass on sitting in a chair with a muslim waving a sharp object around my head.

The Muslim barbers are sexist morons, and I would not allow anyone like them to cut my hair. The customer is a litigious moron, and I would not associate with anyone like her. The members of the Human Rights Council are morons, but at least it’s their job - they are professional morons. All three sides deserve each other, and I hope they will waste massive amounts of time and money, suffering the entire time.

"McGregor filed a human rights complaint." What a fool. Everyone knows there is no such thing as human rights in the Muslim world.
