The latest in Burka-wear....

Coming soon, to a hospital in the UK.
THIS is the latest look coming to our NHS hospitals – a burka-style gown for patients.

Instead of standard issue clothing, women who want to cover up because of their faith are to be offered the striking turquoise garment.

Although welcomed by doctors as a breakthrough to encourage Muslim women to seek treatment, critics last night said the move was "another example of political correctness".

The "Inter-faith gown" is being piloted at Royal Preston Hospital after complaints from women that regulation dress was too revealing. Hospitals across the country are also being offered the £12 burkas by an NHS clothing supplier. Doctors say that many women do not show up for vital operations because they fear the procedure will mean them breaking strict Islamic law.

The hooded "Inter-faith gown" is designed to reveal nothing but the patients’ eyes and hands and yet allow access for surgeons.

Rehearsing the finer points of becoming an Islamic Republic has become the new mantra for armies of government funded 'social' workers.

Considering how drafty regular hospital gowns are (particular in the back), this can only be an improvement ...

But look at this amazing antidhimmitude from a Welsh University! The students are standing up for gay rights against Muslim intimidation.
