The simmering row over religious relations in Britain escalated further today after the government's race minister demanded the sacking of a Muslim teaching assistant who refuses to remove her veil at work.

Phil Woolas said Aishah Azmi was "denying the right of children to a full education". He added that her stand meant she could not "do her job" and insisted barring men from working with her would amount to "sexual discrimination".

Meanwhile, Shadow Home Secretary David Davis stoked the row further with a stinging attack on Muslim leaders for risking "voluntary apartheid" in Britain, and expecting special protection from criticism.

In an article for the Sunday Telegraph, Mr Davis warned of "closed societies" being created in the UK, and said religious divides threatened to "corrode" fundamental values such as freedom of speech.
