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.'

Islam is not a RACE! Criticizing it cannot be racist.
Thanks for that insight.
Go learn some real history, fool.
I would point out that yours is based on ours. A fact both Yanks and Limeys forget.
No, the British PEOPLE still can.
And those ‘police’ get arrested and jailed, despite what Americans may think.
As stupid as this case is, no they haven’t. 96% of the UK is still non Muslim, 92% white European. As stupid as some of the PC nonsense is, ‘they’ haven’t and will not take over the UK.
Reading the DM/Sun/Telegraph it’s hard to see differently. Do you think for one minute those mussie marches like what they do in London would be put up with here? When people protest mussies in the UK it is they who are charged.
And when the muslims are done with the English, the Scots and the Irish will be the next to fall. English socialism is pervasive throughout the isles, and all of them will suffer for it.
Next time around, don’t expect the Americans to show up. You are on your own.
Don’t worry, we’ve learnt from history not to expect you to turn up. Except late and claim all the glory.
On our own?. You mean like 1914 and 1940?.
Yet they keep electing these fools.
