Woman refuses medical treatment from Muslim

So, just so I can clarify here: refusing to be treated by someone who is proportionally far more likely than another member of the population to believe in stoning people to death, chopping off hands, mutilating genitalia and sympathy for suicide bombers, is 'bigotry'?

Oh, there was me thinking it meant protecting cherished western values and refusing to extend liberal values to those who pro-actively denounce them and believe in illiberal values.

I see no reason why liberal people should extend liberal values to people who aren't liberal.

I'm sorry but what makes you think a Muslim doesn't? You just seem so delusional to me, it's unbelievable and just disgusting to see people like you comment in such ways.

These values belong in the gutter; if this woman has values - clearly she does - she may believe her life is safer in the hands of someone who actually believes in the sanctity of human life.

In France the medical staff cannot have religious and political items. I appreciate not having to deal with people telling me their religion.

I wouldn't like it if the doctor kept his hat on, or a badge saying "I vote the Conservative Party"; he may really like it, but it is inconsiderate to keep it while working. I don't want to know the political opinions and religious beliefs of the public service employees.

At the end of the day, the doctor is a highly qualified expert who has dedicated many years of her life into this profession.She did not do this to get disrespected by ungrateful, stupid,bigoted patients who would rather risk their own health than put aside their hatred. This level of stupidity does not promote 'western values', but rather wastes time that could otherwise have been spend in a more productive way.

Blah, blah, blah, Islamophobia, Islamophobia, Islamophobia.

Why don't you just put on a Hijab and be done with it? I mean, you are willing to undermine 100 years of campaigning for female equality, so why not just go the full distance and commit your soul to religious conservatism? It will make you feel good about yourself - and morally superior! - and, let's face it, that's what really matters here. Progress is cheap and to be sacrificed, with a second's notice, upon the altar of self-righteousness.

n.b. I'm immune to your exploitation of prejudice for the purposes of making me conform to your politically correct group think. You're just another in a long line of conveyor belt appeasers, mass produced on scale by Zionists and Communists for the purposes of manufacturing self-loathing, guilt and class warfare along gender, religious and ethnic lines. You are so fundamentally...ordinary. You don't think, you just listen and repeat.

Is it so difficult for the doctor to remove her hijab in the hospital?

1. It's nauseating watching people like you - the perpetually self-righteous and appeasers of the intolerable - hide behind adjectives and altruism to lend legitimacy to religious conservatism and barbarity.

2. What makes me think that? All of the surveys I've cited from legitimate polling organisations like Pew research and ICM to demonstrate a disconcertingly high number of British Muslims - often times the majority - believe in illiberal viewpoints which are entirely antithetical, and out of alignment, with values held, cherished and nurtured by western civilisation.

This happened around a month ago, but I only just read about it now.
Honestly this is so ridiculous. Why would someone refuse medical treatment based on the religious beliefs of the doctor? Quite sad and pathetic really

You're simply making assumptions about these people. Based on their religious beliefs. I've never met someone who believes in stoning or chopping off of hands or violence of any kind. And sure, that doesn't represent the whole country, but really, living in a western country like Britain, you would be less susceptible to that way of thinking.

And how is this "protecting cherished western values"? The lady can't even protect herself, not by rejecting medical care. And besides, someone may be Muslim, but they may have also grown up here, so they share those "western values". But it seems as though you're trying to build up a divide, simply because of religion, and that is a very close-minded way of thinking.

And really? Pulling the "sympathetic for suicide bombers" card? (Never mind the fact that the religion forbids suicide.) Do you not see people condemning that? For that matter, do you actually truly know any Muslims who actually believe in the stoning and the genital mutilation and all the other things you condemn all the rest in the chance that they may feel the same. (And I'm genuinely curious about this.)

I know

Wearing a hijab or whatever political accessory does not affect the doctor's ability to perform their duty(which should be the primary concern), so I really don't see why it ought to be disallowed.

But if the woman did not believe in the sanctity of human life then surely she would not be a doctor


Believe it or not there are many decent, non-violent/homophobic muslims. @childofthesun is one.

Freedom of expression mate. If you don't like it you can move out of the UK.

They are free to express themselves, but not at work.

Do you really think you're getting anywhere with your views? What makes you right and others wrong?
I don't really care about what you gather from a few statistical numbers, it doesn't justify the reason why she could do that to a doctor who is qualified.

I opt for facts. Here's a fact: 60% of Muslims would reject a homosexual as a friend. If you're homosexual, why would you want to be treated by someone who would reject you on the basis of your sexuality?

Yeah, stats are meaningless in the face of totalitarian tolerance and diversity - I know.
