Shop bans Muslim veils after hold up by hijab wearing robbers

In Glasgow, owners of an "Asian" (which, to the Brits, typically means South Asians and folks from the Middle East) jewelry shop have decided to turn away customers wearing Muslim veils after they were robbed by two men dressed in full Muslim female dress, which covers everything except the eyes.

The shop owners hope their idea will be adopted by other businesses. While they acknowledge their new policy may offend some people (Muslims), they consider their safety more important.

As expected, folks are already calling this move prejudiced and discriminatory.
