Daily Mail: Thousands rally to defend doctor 'forced out' for asking Muslim woman to lift veil as more than 11,000 sign petition in less than 24 hours

Dr Keith Wolverson, 52, said supporters started a petition to help clear his name. So far more than 11,000 people have signed it calling for his job to be protected. He said he is unable to find work and is planning to quit medicine and retrain. Dr Wolverson said the Muslin woman did not object when he 'politely' asked her to remove the face covering because he could not hear what she was saying.
