British Islamic states that women cannot travel more than 48 miles without a man present.

(Blackburn)  The Blackburn Muslim Associations  ,Department of Theology, has issued guidelines on its website that include the following statements:

1) it is “not permissible” for a woman to go more than 48 miles – deemed to be the equivalent of three days walk - without her husband or a close male relative.

2) Men must grow beards and are not to shave them.

 Can somebody please explain why in a country that affords equality to the fairer sex, why the authorities allow bigots like this to continue to be sexist, bigoted and racist, without anybody taking them, to task.

For some strange reason, their web site has now been removed. funny that.
