Here, we have an example of deference to Muslims that defies a basic hygiene standard. Apparently, there are just no levels of deference we in the UK won't indulge in ... even if it may mean allowing life-threatening situations to occur.
As to what this says for Muslims, who insist upon this in the first place ... well .. !!! ......

Muslim doctors and nurses are to be allowed to opt out of strict hygiene rules introduced by the NHS to restrict the spread of hospital superbugs.
Female staff who follow the Islamic faith will be allowed to cover their arms to preserve their modesty despite earlier guidance that all staff should be "bare below the elbow".
The Department of Health has also relaxed rules prohibiting jewellery so that Sikh members of staff can wear bangles linked with their faith, providing they are pushed up the arm while the medic treats a patient.
The Mail on Sunday reported the change had been made after female Muslims objected to being required to expose their arm below the elbow under guidance introduced by Alan Johnson when he was health secretary in 2007.
The rules were drawn up to reduce the number of patients who were falling ill, and even dying, from superbugs such as MRSA and Clostridium difficile.
Revised guidance which relaxed the requirements for some religions was published last month.
An example, not 'just' of sheer arrogance from Muslims ... but also a refusal by them to even acknowledge modern day medical standards, AND to force innocent people to suffer consequences resulting from it ?
