Thread Name: BS: Muslim veil ban in Belgium
Subject: RE: BS: Muslim veil ban in Belgium
"A Muslim waitress was last week awarded £3,000 for being asked to wear a revealing dress."

What are the details of this case? I'd be interested to know if the "revealing" dress was simply standard uniform for the job, or if it was being pressed upon the waitresses to alter their own clothing to specifically become more "revealing". How revealing is revealing, and what was the job?

The word "revealing" will mean different things to different people, and especially to different cultures and religions.

I've no idea how revealing the dress code was, and different jobs will imply different styles of uniform and dress. But I don't believe that if you choose to take a job, you aught ever to be exempt from donning a uniform for reasons based on *religious* objection to the style of uniform or dress-code.
