The shopkeeper may have overreacted but I'm not entirely sure many shops in the UK will serve you if you wear a full veil. I had a part time job at an off-license when I was younger, and I wasn't allowed to serve anyone wearing a motorcycle-helmet due to the CCTV system and insurance requirements, so I don't think veils would have been any different.

Apart from maybe the Anglican Church and something to do with Henry VIII?

Who's gonna pick up the pieces in places like Tower hamlets now?
PICS AND PUBLISH Tower Hamlets extremist vote poses Ed's first big election test - Telegraph
Lutfur Rahman was sacked by the Labour Party last month as its candidate for mayor of Tower Hamlets amid deep concerns about his links with a Muslim supremacist group, the Islamic Forum of Europe (IFE), and a number of powerful local businessmen
Mr Rahman also signed up entire families of "sham" paper Labour members – some of whom do not even support the party – to win nomination as Labour's candidate.
"Things look very good," said one of his major business backers, Shiraj Haque, a millionaire restaurateur.
Labour sources said the contest between Mr Rahman and their new candidate, Helal Abbas, was "extremely close" and would depend on turnout in Thursday's election.
Unlike a conventional leader, a directly-elected mayor has almost complete power over a council's finances and cannot be controlled, checked or sacked by councillors.
Tower Hamlets moved from a conventional leader system to a mayoralty this year as a result of a campaign spearheaded by the IFE.
In secret filming earlier this year, Abu Talha, an IFE activist, told an undercover reporter for The Sunday Telegraph and Channel 4's Dispatches: "The mayor is going to have a lot more control. That's why we need to get someone, one of our brothers, in there. Which we will do."

I cannot believe that there are those on here equating islamic and christian ideals, as if you can just mix and match people in a country. They are different cultures, and in some subjects mutually incompatable.
