DENTIST Omer Butt of Manchester, who told Muslim patients he would treat them only if they wore Islamic dress, will be able to continue to practise, a General Dental Council panel has ruled.
It noted that he had changed his approach after he ordered two women to wear headscarfs.

Can't believe this goes on in the UK.

Better believe it - this is deliberate policy on the part of the Labour party to gain and keep "Asian" votes. The question is - has he actually changed his practice now or is his promise the same one as before when he was asked to desist from this absurd request?

how did he know they were Muslims. My dentist does not ask me what my faith if any is.

if this is way that this guy practiced medicine, then he should be disbarred.

To reject medical care because someone does not weir a veil is absolutely outrageous.

Maybe Iain Brady should be allowed back out because he has changed his approach?

Do you think we could be told what his changed approach is?
