Woman arrested after Facebook post banning Muslims from her beauty salon

The post, made following the terrorist attacks in Paris, said the salon is “no longer taking bookings from anyone from the Islamic faith”, “whether you are United Kingdom granted with passport or not”.

The post was published in the wake of the Paris terror attacks on Friday night.

The 43-year-old has been detained afte racist messages were posted on the Blinks of Bicester Facebook page, which said people of “Islamic faith” were no longer welcome.

“Whilst I agree posting opinions on Facebook leaves you open to criticism, isn’t she entitled to her own opinion as she is her own religion??”

Another said: “Time to put my country first”.

The woman, named locally as 43-year-old April Major, allegedly decided she would ban Muslim patrons from making appointments at her beauty salon, Blinks of Bicester.

At this point she has not been charged with any offence. I stand by that completely as a United Kingdom citizen.

Police said they received a number of complaints about the message, prompting her arrest.

And a third reportedly said: “I hope your families get blown up by ISIS”.

The police do take any form of racial abuse via social network or any form of communication seriously. Twitter users took screenshots of the reviews before the page became inaccessible.

“If you suspect that racially aggravated crimes are being committed please report them to the police”, he added.
