The Anti-Christian Lawyers Union will sue on behalf of Muslim who is questioned by the airline. That's discrimination. So why hasn't it acted in this case, where a Christian was not allowed to wear a cross on the plane, but Muslims were allowed to wear viels?

You can't have a cross on the plane. It could be used as a weapon to hijack a plane. Everyone knows how civil the ACLU wants everyone to be.

First of all, did you even look to see that the article is about an issue that is going on in Britain? The ACLU is an organization that defends the rights of Americans under the US Constitution. Second, if you read in the article,
"BA's uniform code bans jewellery from being worn over the top of clothing. But bangles can be worn if they are deemed to be an essential part of someone's religion."
Wearing a cross is NOT essential part of Christianity is it? But, it clearly says in the Quran that veils need to be worn by Muslim women. However, there is a difference in opinon as to whether Muslim women must cover their face. I believe the majority of Muslims (and, by the way, the majority of American Muslims are African-Americans and about 60% of Arab-Americans are Christian) do not believe that the face-covering is required.

It would be difficult to call the American Civil Liberties Union in to handle a case that's taking place in the UK, wouldn't it?

Call yourself. Make a wave. Go ahead and get their attention.

They should call the ACLJ. The ACLU was created by a communist.
