I was told a rather short, but nonetheless, a harrowing story the other day of which I'll share the 'experience' with you all here.
A mother was explaining to me of how her daughter after getting on a train while on the way to work last weekend was approached and told that she would have to move away from where she had chose to sit on the train and find another seat?
Now, the individuals who asked her to move were not rail employees NO indeed! They were in fact two hijab wearing female muslims who had been sat in the adjoining carriage, and one of which I was told; must have been a convert has the women was pale skinned and had a Welsh accent!
When the daughter remonstrated why? She was told that the gentleman she was currently sitting next to cannot let you sit there because it is against our/his religion! (The man was sitting on one of four empty seats at the time)
Aghast, the daughter astounded, speechless and confused decided to move away and find another seat.
Now, I'll just post the following article before I finish off the story:

Hopefully, having read the article, you get the general picture of were the story is coming from?
Anyway, the crux of the story is: this woman's daughter wasn't on any Muslim nations rail network, no, she was on the Liverpool to Manchester line! In Leigh, Lancashire, England, Great Britain!
Coming to a town like yours!!
