@barb I haven't heard anyone say that she wasn't treated with courtesy? So lets say she was, and politely told that unfortunately they couldn't cut her hair because of their beliefs. She could have voiced her opinion and then move on to another barber.

I don't think it's unreasonable to state that he can't cut her hair because of his beliefs. If however, she was turned away because she was a lesbian, then I would take issue with that.

It really just comes down to her understanding that it's not personal.

Not cutting someones hair because they're gay or wear a Berka/Hijab would be making it personal, and I would completely support someone taking that situation to the Human Rights Commission.

Just my two cents.

Have a great day.

@barb I find it interesting how you equate this to racism when it has nothing to do with racism. However your former statement about a non Muslim refusing service to Muslims just due to the fact that they are muslims, that is the definition of racism. I urge you to learn more about why the barber refused before you make comments that come across as hateful or to some even racist because that just reflects badly on you and also deflates whatever argument you were trying to make.

@barb First of all I never called you a racist, I was referring to how your comment may be perceived. I was actually sincerely trying to help, "but now the mood all changed". Secondly I find your response amusing especially this part, "They don't reflect badly on me and they do not deflate my argument. Your unfounded comments to me deflate your argument.", because it makes no sense and reminds me of my little nephew when he says "I know you are but what am I." I find the tone of your response and my nephew's favorite phrase very similar. So let me elaborate on why your statement makes no sense. I never even presented an argument in our convo. and thus it can not be deflated. As for your other statement, "I truly believe that you can't turn someone away from a business or do what you like in the name of religion, plain and simple", this is a blanket statement and I think it really depends on the situation. Lastly, your last statement also made no sense cuz frankly you dont know me and you know what they say about making assumptions.

@zane Zane, I am female and I would take it awfully personally if someone refused me service on the basis of my gender, that is very personla, gay or not. Just my two cents. Thanks you, you have a lovely day as well.

@mz Why don't you explain it to me Einstein. You really are an arrogant jerk. Believe me, I certainly don't see you as an intellectual Liberal, that would be your job. You are a complete jack ass! Or should I look that up too?

@mz Oh,and before I forget, when I said your message was convoluted I meant it was convoluted, as are most of the messages you have posted Why don't you look it up? When you're done try and get over yourself.
