Hassan Butt, ex-extremist, has a brother, who still apparently has some way to go.

A muslim dentist made a woman wear Islamic dress as the price of accepting her as an NHS patient, it is alleged.

Omer Butt is said to have told the patient that unless she wore a headscarf she would have to find another practice. Later this month, Mr Butt will appear before a General Dental Council professional misconduct hearing, which has the power to strike him off. It is claimed that the 31-year-old dentist asked to speak to the woman in private after she turned up for an appointment at his clinic in Bury.

According to the charges, he questioned her on whether she was a Muslim and told her that if he was to treat her she would have to wear Islamic dress. He is also said to have read out a number of religious rules to her. He then told his nurse to give the patient her own headscarf to wear, the accusation says.

It is not known whether the woman was a Muslim.

What a tit.

This afternoon I was chatting with a Palestinian, who was currently trying to get a job in the UK. He’d been pushed out of a lift in the morning and had “fucking Muslim” shouted in his face - he had the beard and short hair. He couldn’t see why he was deserving of this, it wasn’t as though he was one of the “fucking crazies exploding things” ,as he put it, and pointed out extremists were killing Muslims in places like Pakistan, Algerian and Iraq. I couldn’t help but think that in certain liberal circles he’d have been denounced as Islamophobic.

He was a nice guy.
