well from the C AB site:

so I erm allege that discrimination on religion is unlawful

Religious discrimination in the workplace and training

You are protected from religious discrimination in your workplace. This means you are protected:

whatever your religion or belief
whatever your employer's religion or belief
whether you are already working for your employer
whether you are applying for a job.
Discrimination at work because of your religion or belief could include:

dismissing you because of your religion
advertising for job applicants of one religion only
requiring you to dress in a certain way, for example, requiring all women to wear a short skirt. This would not be acceptable for women of several different religions
requiring you not to wear sacred items. For example, a Sikh man might be required to remove their kara (symbolic bracelet). However, if the employer can justify this on health and safety grounds, this wouldn't count as discrimination
making you work at times that you cannot work because of your religion
victimisation
bullying at work because of your religion. This is also known as harassment.
If you experience discrimination at work because of your religion or belief, you may be able to make a complaint. This includes raising a grievance with your employer or making a claim to an employment tribunal.However, in some circumstances, it might be possible for your employer to show that there were genuine business, or health and safety reasons for the way you have been treated which have nothing to do with your religion or belief. If this is the case, it won't count as discrimination.

AOG, do you regard calling someone a Christian or a bad Christian as racial abuse? If not, why not? Would it be so in these circumstances?

Why is calling someone a Muslim or bad Muslim racial abuse, then?

[bazwillrun]

Strange that...

i've seen enough posts about muslims on here and the posters are referred to as racists among other choice throways
You can bet you bottom dollar if a white was saying it thered be hell to pay all the pc mob would be be straining at the leash.

[FredPuli43]

Circumstances alter cases, baz, but it wouldn't be racist if a white person said it in such circumstances. Though it may well be that some on here think Muslim is a term of abuse, or treat it as one, given the cases and associations with Islam they cite !

I can’t understand much of the video, but according to Chewn’s post at 15:44, she said at the beginning “You don’t judge me and my personal life. You understand?” I wonder what he said to her to elicit that response?

[mikey4444]

emmie and I agree ( ! ) Completely out of of order... this woman should get the sack.

[naomi24]

Mikey, tempers were certainly inflamed. Do you know what he said to her before she said “You don’t judge me and my personal life. You understand?”?

There may be a history between the two of them that changes how the clip should be perceived.

The muslim deliberately wound up the woman; most expect females to be subordinate & do as men demand.

Cashier should not be sacked coz of wind-up customer. The 3x panic bell was ignored by management.

[Baldric]

I note the inconvenient question
"How is calling someone a Muslim being Racist?"
has been ignored.

[hc4361]

There are a few posts that say this isn't racial abuse, baldric.

[boxtops]

whatever she or he is, she deserves a disciplinary if not a suspension - that's appalling customer service behaviour.

[DTCwordfan]

The old bag needs suspending.

[Baldric]

Thank you hc, yes I had seen them but wasn't it the OPer that initially called it that?

[hc4361]

AOG was simply quoting the DM headline.

[Baldric]

It mentions "Abuse, Customer and Muslim" I don't see Racial anywhere?

[Baldric]

Oops, just seen it in the Link NOT the Headline!
