A British Muslim dentist allegedly refused to treat some female patients in his National Health Service (NHS) funded clinic unless they wore a traditional Islamic dress to cover up their hair.
Turkey’s parliament has passed two constitutional amendments easing the ban on Islamic headscarves at colleges. The issue is a heated one in the country, where the government is secular. Protests are expected.
A Muslim dentist made a young woman wear an Islamic headscarf before treating her for toothache. A hearing with the General Dental Council will determine whether he can continue his job with the National Health Service.
