Tesco has been accused of religious discrimination after the company ordered the founder of a Jedi religion to remove his hood or leave a branch of the supermarket in north Wales.
Daniel Jones, founder of the religion inspired by the Star Wars films, says he was humiliated and victimised for his beliefs following the incident at a Tesco store in Bangor.
The 23-year-old, who founded the International Church of Jediism, which has 500,000 followers worldwide, was told the hood flouted store rules.

Last time I checked, only the Sith wore their hoods inside. The Jedi were always respectful, and removed their hoods whenever they entered a building. Sooo.... The store was in the right. I would kick a Sith out of my store as well!

Hey if you can believe in the invisible man in the sky routine, why not the Jedi.
For that matter, how about Muadib? Sandworm Messiah? or Benejezzeret Sisterhood?
