Bible-Carrying British Flight Attendant Challenges Saudi Travel Rules

In Britain, a flight attendant is taking her airline, BMI, before an Employment Tribunal charging religious discrimination. UPI today reports that the employee, who is a religious Christian, takes her Bible on all her travels. However, BMI, following the advice of the British Foreign Office that no religious materials other than the Quran are to be taken into Saudi Arabia, has banned her from taking the Bible on her flights to Saudi Arabia. BMI said it offered the flight attendant a transfer to short haul flights, but she turned down that alternative.
