British Muslim medical students reject kafir ways: In a report by Daniel Foggo and Abul Taher in the The Sunday Times (London), we learn that

Some Muslim medical students are refusing to attend lectures or answer exam questions on alcohol-related or sexually transmitted diseases because they claim it offends their religious beliefs. Some trainee doctors say learning to treat the diseases conflicts with their faith, which states that Muslims should not drink alcohol and rejects sexual promiscuity. A small number of Muslim medical students have even refused to treat patients of the opposite sex. One male student was prepared to fail his final exams rather than carry out a basic examination of a female patient.

Britain again. I can imagine stumbles, tripping points, and hurdles always popping up along the way as to how the British deal with such things. Over time, especially if they are equipped by knowledge that for example, you provide, they'll get better at it. This is to the case with seeing the glass half full.
