Political Correctness Run Amuck Over the Skies of Britain

From Worldnetdaily, we've got an airline going far too far in efforts to please Fundamentalist Muslisms in Saudi Arabia:

A British airline banned its staff from taking Bibles and wearing crucifixes or St. Christopher medals on flights to Saudi Arabia to avoid offending the country's Muslims.

British Midland International also has told female flight attendants they must walk two paces behind male colleagues and cover themselves from head to foot in a headscarf and robe known as an abaya, the Mirror newspaper of London reported.

So women to work for British Midland International, you have to travel back in time 800 years. What utter nonsense. The idea that people should be suppressed like that is outrageous. You're basically forcing them to live like they're fundamentalist Muslims.

I will not be flying British Midland International airlines for whatever that's worth. The one thing I would take from this story is that as outrageous as this requirement is on British Christians working for BMI, this should give us sympathy to Christians in Saudi Arabia who live under these restrictions 24/7 while also facing the thread of death.

Crazy

Absolute lunacy! To add insult to injury, don't forget that they probably paid a lot of consultants a huge sum of money to come up with these bizarre ideas!

True enough. While the best things in life are free. The worst things cost through the nose.
