Woman Who Tried to Ban Muslims from Her Beauty Salon Gets Arrested

Friday’s horrific terrorist attacks in Paris have garnered the majority of media attention and stirred up a lot of emotion in the western world.

But one woman took things too far in the aftermath of the tragedies, reportedly using the incident in Paris as an excuse to ban Muslim people in the UK from entering her business.

According to the Mirror, 43-year-old April Major, owner of Oxfordshire salon Blinks of Bicester, took to her company’s Facebook page to announce that they would no longer be serving Muslim customers in an effort to “put [her] country first.”

“Blinks of Bicester are no longer taking bookings from anyone from the Islamic faith whether you are UK granted with passport or not,” the post read.

Naturally, there was a public outcry from people.

Major attempted to justify her position online by claiming she’s not a racist.

”My life is with ragga and [sic] patowoire language with Trinidad”, a post online said.

However this excuse wasn’t enough to keep her from getting in trouble with the law – especially after a post was uploaded to her salon's Facebook page in reply to commenters saying: “I hope your family gets blown up by ISIS.”

The Thames Valley Police have since taken Major into custody but she has yet to be charged.

“We have arrested a 43-year-old woman in Bicester today after a number of complaints about a racially abusive post on social media,” the department said in a statement posted to Facebook.

“The woman was arrested under section 19 of the Public Order Act which relates to the display of written material which is threatening, abusive or insulting with the intention of stirring up racial hatred, and for producing malicious communications.“

According to the Evening Standard, Britain’s Equality Act of 2010 states that businesses cannot discriminate against customers based on their religious beliefs.

It seems Blinks of Bicester’s Facebook page has also since been shut down, but not before a troop of internet commenters came in and inundated the page with bad reviews.

“Hitting ISIS right where it will hurt them most, in the false eyelashes. Take that,” a commenter wrote.

“Protecting your business? Ha, you’re not going to have a business after this," another said.
