בקצרה: הוא טוען שאמרו לו שמנהלי וירג'ין רכבות ביקשו ממנו לקצץ את זקנו ולא לחבוש כיסוי ראש, הם טוענים שהוא פוטר משום "חוסר התלהבות כללית". וירג'ין רכבות זכו, המוסלמי הפסיד.

Muslim worker loses sacking claim
A former worker at London's Euston Station who claimed he was sacked for refusing to trim his beard has lost his religious discrimination claim.

Mohsin Mohmed, 23, of Ilford, Essex, said he was repeatedly asked by Virgin Trains managers to trim his beard and told not to wear a religious skullcap.

He said his Islamic faith meant he could not trim his beard.

An employment tribunal dismissed his claims of racial and religious discrimination and unfair dismissal.

'Landmark' decision

The tribunal sat for three days in October to hear the case and published its decision on Tuesday.

It was believed to be the first case to decide a claim under the Employment Equality (Religion and Belief) Regulations.

On Tuesday Virgin Trains said it welcomed the "landmark" decision to dismiss the complaints, which were made last July.

Mr Mohmed, who was a customer service assistant, told the tribunal he could not trim his beard shorter than one fist's length - about four inches - because of his faith.

Virgin Trains said Mr Mohmed was dismissed for his "general lack of enthusiasm" and that the length of his beard was never an issue."
