Muslim-owned shop bans customers wearing veils

"I know in Scotland that banks will not allow their customers coming in with motorbike helmets, I don't see why it should be different for people wearing the Niqab. It is an issue about identifying people,"

A muslim owned jewelry shop has banned customers from wearing any veils after the store was robbed by muslim Asian thieves disguised in islamic veils. If a non-muslim store owner had implemented such a rule I'm sure some muslim group would cry islamophobia. Telegraph

A Muslim-owned jewellery shop has decided to ban customers wearing veils after being targeted by robbers disguised as Islamic women. [...]

The store owners decided to act after two Asian men wearing traditional Muslim women's clothes – including niqab veils – made away with thousands of pounds worth of jewellery earlier this month.[...]

"It is our safety that matters as well at the end of the day," Rukhsana Sadiq told the BBC Asian Network. "God forbid anything like this happening to anyone else."
