- jggube, on 03/09/2009, -11/+212Sorry, but man, that beard looks fake and awkward on him (don't sue me).
- MrChunks, on 03/09/2009, -12/+164To be fair, it's a ridiculous beard. Although the comments made by his workmates were totally out of order. Still, ridiculous beard.
- stuartjmoore, on 03/09/2009, -6/+138He looks like an Amish ZZ Top.
- jupaneanu, on 03/09/2009, -8/+107No offense but who wouldn't laugh at the sight of that thing
- vmos, on 03/09/2009, -8/+94Oh daily mail, when will you learn?
I don't care if you're muslim, christian, jew, bhuddust, druid, pagan, atheist or pastafarian. That is a ***** stupid looking beard. I'd be hard pressed to grow a more ridiculous beard without resorting to dye and extreme waxing - unit001, on 03/10/2009, -24/+90once again displaying the legendary muslim ability to take a joke.
- clickmyface, on 03/09/2009, -7/+70HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
- marius404, on 03/09/2009, -15/+76Not enough details to determine what really happened but.....if he was mistreated based on his looks and ethnic background then I hope justice will prevail.
- dicer999, on 03/09/2009, -9/+64lol @ this blokes beard
- dorsey47, on 03/10/2009, -3/+50The beard is funny, I don't care what religion it is.
- JustAn0th3rFace, on 03/09/2009, -4/+47oh come on the beard is quite comical
- ginetteginette, on 03/10/2009, -12/+46"He says the first racist incident came in early 2006. He claims he was in a van with seven PCs and three 'tutor' constables - including one other Muslim - which stopped for food at a shop which did not sell halal products. When he asked if they were stopping anywhere else, he was told: 'This is it.'"
so, that's it? it's racism to not want to stop at more than one shop during a short lunch break? why didn't he pack a halal lunch or take a separate car to a different restaurant if he knew he couldn't eat the same food? - skztr, on 03/10/2009, -5/+38They're not making fun of your religion, they're making fun of your beard. Your religion is just the excuse you use for having a very silly beard.
- Rapter09, on 03/10/2009, -3/+33Okay, first of all: Dude's beard is ***** hilarious. Has nothing to do with his religion or race. I am a fully bearded man and that beard is a first-class facepalm. I mean, the guy's gotta have some friends on the force that leveled with him and said "Listen... Javid... man... the beard..."
With that being said, though - and as much as I think this guy needs to take a chill about his beard - you guys are forgetting the fact that his co-workers called him a "***** Paki" so, funny beard or not, that ***** ain't cool. Especially not from police. - LoneWolf01, on 03/10/2009, -1/+29It's the Daily Mail, you're almost there.
- scarwars, on 03/10/2009, -0/+21if I was drunk and that guy turned up I would so pull his beard to see if it was fake
- ryan83189, on 03/09/2009, -6/+25Not to defend the guys, but he needs to grow a mustache or shave below his lip a little and grow a more hair on the top, and then it would look fine. I don't know religious wise if that can be worked in somehow, but right now it looks like some kind of upside down high-top fade or something. But if that dude wants to rock it he shouldn't have to put up with a lot of *****, but this seems quite minimal(for the beard jokes anyway), then again it is the daily mail and they usually withhold info. The guy might have a case for religious discrimination because things are very backward when it comes to people of middle eastern decent in positions of authority. He seems like a nice guy who holds his religion to his core and really wants to help so bad that he puts up with stuff like this, so I wish the best for him.
- IKORKYI, on 03/10/2009, -12/+30durka durka? awwwwww durka durka!
- ericwbaker, on 03/10/2009, -1/+18I really like his watch.
- inactive, on 03/10/2009, -10/+26Hm... Guess this guy hasn't had many social experiences in his time on this earth: Men rag on each other. It's what we do.
- yocouchdigga, on 03/09/2009, -2/+18is ridiculous.
- eugenesucks, on 03/10/2009, -10/+26Daily Mail = buried
- KMartSheriff, on 03/10/2009, -7/+23***** that, this guy needs to grow a pair. I'm so sick of this ***** politically correct (don't step on anyone's toes) trend that's been going on lately.
- inactive, on 03/10/2009, -3/+17Oh I see, it's funny because it uses racial slurs.
- zyklon, on 03/10/2009, -1/+14It's funnier because he added the "j.k" to cover his tracks.
- rabidbob, on 03/10/2009, -0/+13No, The Onion is far more trustworthy than the Daily Fail.
- LilJimmyNordin, on 03/10/2009, -10/+23Oh, *****. Where does it say that people have the right to live a life free of offense? ***** this guy. If everyone sued for every stupid slur or insult hurled at them, what kind of ***** world would this be? Quit being a pain in the ass, everyone. Sometimes freedom of speech doesn't go your way. Deal with it. Sticks and stones.
- Logicexe, on 03/10/2009, -13/+25Yes and Christians bomb abortion clinics, Jews control the world's banks, Atheists shoot up schools, Homosexuals rape children, Pastafarians are excessively awesome, Americans are fat, blacks are lazy and Roland1232 is a very enlightened and tolerant individual.
- abstracthuman, on 03/09/2009, -5/+17His arms are trying to catch up with the beard.
- CressCrowbits, on 03/10/2009, -3/+15Please show me in the article where he says he was offended by people being critical of Islam.
- 3nder99, on 03/10/2009, -6/+18I don't really care that he's suing, or am surprised his coworkers are racist.
All I care about is that funny ass beard. What was he thinking? - PopcornDave, on 03/10/2009, -0/+12When I saw the picture, the first thing I thought of was that Willie Woolie magnetic kids game where you make facial hair on the cartoon picture with the magnetic shavings.
- geekoid, on 03/09/2009, -6/+18I think to make that look less unusual he should at least grow the tash...
- waydee, on 03/10/2009, -5/+17did you just stop reading there or something?
- SharkyTech, on 03/10/2009, -0/+11Exactly my thoughts.
They laughed at your beard and wouldn't accomodate your food preferences. Harden the ***** up.
The rest of the stuff though is pretty bad.
@poidh: getting paranoid much? seriously, its just the same sense of religious entitlement that every other wacko under the sun has, not a massive conspiracy - chillibabe, on 03/09/2009, -12/+22If he was really humiliated then he did the right thing
- AndrewDB, on 03/10/2009, -4/+14Is that a beard or is that a bird's nest?
- stack3r, on 03/10/2009, -7/+16agreed... *****, we have a indian lad at work we call him "curry" all the time... he knows its all in jest, he could call me a white piece of ***** for all i care.
I really think thats the problem, people just dont want to hear what they are. I have so many non-white friends, none of us see each other as a different race, cannot see the color any more, but we all joke about the heritage because its all brotherly..
Hard to explain, but you know the racism isnt there when everyone can laugh at being called something. - Chewie67, on 03/10/2009, -7/+16*****.
Grow a pair and stop acting like a child. "Mommy, someone called me names!"
Should co-workers tease someone for their looks? No.
Should the courts be involved? Absolutely not.
This isn't Kindergarten, it's real life. Grow a spine and stop acting like an infant. Our courts are full of enough ridiculous ***** without adding name calling lawsuits. - inactive, on 03/10/2009, -4/+13That's exactly what I thought.
- CressCrowbits, on 03/10/2009, -5/+14I don't think deliberately undermining someone's career can really be considered a 'joke'.
Seems a lot of people here need to RTFA. - GrooTheWanderer, on 03/10/2009, -1/+9His colleagues weren't being racist. Some things are just inherently funny - lolcats, flatulence, skateboarders faceplanting... and that beard.
- inactive, on 03/10/2009, -0/+8"Sharp Dressed Man"
Oh wait - inactive, on 03/10/2009, -3/+11im not suprised they laughed at his beard. its a friggin joke
- poidh, on 03/10/2009, -7/+15I doubt very much that he was called a "Paki". People in the UK now are so wary about what they say. I think he just made this up to further his compensation claim.
What's funny is that it's ok to call someone an Aussie, a Kiwi, a Yank, a Frenchie, and so on, but the moment that the "victim" doesn't have milky white skin, it becomes a crime to call them by a slang name. Why is that? Is it because it's not possible to be racist against white people? Can only white people be racist?
I think people need to chill the ***** out. If someone calls you a name, it DOES NOT entitle you to compensation. - doctechnical, on 03/09/2009, -8/+16I'll bet you could pour hot water through that beard and have a nice stew.
- Logicexe, on 03/10/2009, -7/+14There's a difference between living free from offense and being protected from harassment. Do you think sexual harassment is no big deal either?
If he was complaining about offensive television shows or billboards or something I would agree with you, but harassment is quite different form just being "offended." - foofoobee, on 03/09/2009, -15/+22how is that funny?
- evilsin, on 03/10/2009, -1/+7i lol'd
- SomeGuyin209, on 03/10/2009, -1/+7Sorry but I laughed my ass off when I saw his picture. Couldn't help it. Just came out. LOL
