Finally...

Well it seems we are about to find out just how concerned the Muslims are about our freedom of religion. We have already seen the extremes that they will go through just to practice their religion. Now the tables have reversed. A flight attendant from England is being told by the airline that she can't carry her bible on flight to Saudi Arabia. Here is the story from Guardian Unlimited:

An flight attendant is to challenge a ruling by an airline preventing staff taking the Bible to Saudi Arabia, it was revealed today.

Bmi, formerly British Midland Airways, confirmed that the matter was subject to an industrial tribunal to take place on a date not yet fixed.

The flight attendant is understood to be deeply religious and takes her Bible everywhere she travels. However, bmi said today that it was merely following Foreign Office advice that no non-Islamic materials or artefacts are allowed in Saudi Arabia.

On its website the Foreign Office says of Saudi Arabia: "The importation and use of narcotics, alcohol, pork products and religious books, apart from the Qur'an, and artefacts are forbidden."

The bmi case follows that of British Airways worker Nadia Eweida, a committed Christian, whose objection to BA rules which forbade her visibly wearing a cross led to a review by BA of its uniform policy.
