But an appeals court ruled against her claim, finding that she had not been the victim of religious discrimination.

How contrary to logic that the English are caving on sharia law, but simultaneously desroying the Christian foundations of all western law and civilization. It's happening all over the EU and the US. We must awaken the Church Militant!
