Race & Religion 2: Putting the mad back into Mohammadian
I know the Rocket Bar quite well (don’t ask) but before anyone says anything, it’s not that sort of a bar where gentleman might strike a fiscal arrangement with a young lady. There are some bars that you would rather not be photographed leaving but this isn’t one. In fact it is a regular post office watering hole for Mayfair’s young professionals even if it seems to have among its clientele, a surfeit of top totty (allegedly). Well not quite according to one ex-employee
Deep breath & here we go dear readers.....
A Muslim waitress has been awarded a £3,000 pay out for sexual harassment after being made to wear a revealing red dress for work. Fata Lemes, 33, quit her job after claiming that the low-cut dress was “disgusting” and made her look like a “prostitute”. Miss Lemes, a Bosnian Muslim, had told an employment tribunal that she “might as well have been naked” in the dress. “I was brought up a Muslim and am not used to wearing sexually attractive clothes,” she said
& the sexually revealing dress in question looks like... well this
Sorry boys I know it is all rather tame but
The tribunal said Miss Lemes’s £20,000 compensation claim - including £17,500 for hurt feelings - was “manifestly absurd”. Instead they awarded her £2,919.95 for both hurt feelings and loss of earnings
WTF!!!! You sponging little scrubber.
Given the amount of screaming your humble correspondent has been subjected to from aggrieved shareholders over the last 9 months, my employment claim for hurt feelings should be larger than your average bank bailout & before anybody else asks, I would have no problem in wearing a little red number to work, in fact this morning.....

Apparently she has been posting some interesting photos on her Facebook site, heh.

Mah golly gaia. Lawsy me. She is more covered than a Hooters waittress.
Seems to me the opportunistic...uh, naif woman should have declined employment in the first place, knowing she would have to wear such an outfit. I am not impressed with her character or her lack thereof. but then she wouldn't have gotten her quid.
Just another battle in the culture war.

"Muslim cocktail waitress" has to rank right up there with "Orthodox whole-hog barbeque chef."
All right, they didn't tell her there'd be a "summer uniform." Did they lead her to believe she'd be serving up sparkling waters?

She's just taking advantage of the system that is already in place that many other spongers are taking advantage of. Hard to blame her given the environment.
Personally, I believe all claims like that should be dealt with fairly with a baseball bat, but that's just me as I've not had my morning coffee.

I take it that Immigration will be checking her residence and work permits now? Oh yes that wouldnt fit the E&D training now would it?

Comatus hits the nail squarely on the head - if this sponging little bint were such a devout muslim wtf was she doing accepting a job in a pub in the first place?
Far from getting a penny she should have had her case dismissed with the responsibility for both sides' costs landing in her lap.

"She is a whore and must be stoned to death." Some Muslim cleric probably said that when seeing her picture.
Good grief... my daughter wears more revealing kit than that, and she's more conservative than I am.
The best part of this is that her own FaceBook page shows her wearing a skimpy top which shows cleavage.

Wish she'd put her Burkha back on, ugly cow!

Next a Shiite stripper with a bad case of pole burn.

Too bad the defense didn't go to her Facebook page. I'd appeal or get some screenshots of it before she gets a clue and takes it down.

:She tried on the outfit and found it was "physically revealing and openly sexual". She said it made her look like a sex club hostess."
Cut and pasted from the third article you linked.
Now, what would a decent, Muslim girl who was not raised to show her body know about sex clubs or sex club hosteses...hm?
I was raised in California and if there is a culture of body worship regarding fitness and sexuality, that state is as hedonistic as it comes. That said, I have seen surfers in tighter one piece body suits than that!
