No, but sometimes it's necessary to look beyond the intial hue and cry and decide whether these are the actions of someone who has been offended, or the actions of someone that has chosen to be offended.

Life isn't as straight forward as you seem to think it is. If you spend your whole time reacting to every person who claims to be a victim, and chasing after every person that's accused of causing offence, you'll quite often miss the quiet person sat in the corner that really needs your help.
Quite.. There are people who seem to look for things to get offended by, both on and off line. The Daily Mail seems to be staffed by them.

The second part of what you said is also true.

Having worked for a Hospital Trust, I agree with Superbiatch. I doubt that the trust would act *simply* because she prayed for a patient. If they did so, they would be opening themselves up to all sorts of potential trouble. I suspect there were other reasons to get rid of her and this was just an excuse.
