    point I was making was they refused to hire black people because their clients don't want them that is illegal.

    the answer is there is nothing they can do to fix it because their clients don't want to play the game.
    Yeah, sounds reasonable to me. I didn't actually rtfa (if there was one).

    The parents have the usual right to refuse to have a person in their house. They dont have to give a reason.

    the second if the carer can't behave then they shouldn't be employed, if the customer can't behave then it needs managing.

    I'd always thought there was a split in the OT which is where Islam came from (legitimate vs illegitimate children or something like that). I wonder what, if any, religion that spawned since clearly it wasn't Islam!
    The Koran is full of stories mentioned in the Bible - both old and new testament. What you're probably thinking of is the story of Ishmael and Isaac. The OT story has it that Isaac inherited from Abraham; the Koran that Ishmael inherited. This certainly would have appealed to the Arabs, since, traditionally, they are descended from Ishmael (the Jews from Isaac). The fact that the OT account is hundreds of years older than the Koran is handled by Islam by saying that the Bible was corrupted by the Jews and Christians.
