Beard and a Bellyache

A muzzie cop in Britain is suing because people laugh at his beard.

I can't imagine why they'd laugh at it:



The image is not digitally altered. His beard just looks like a bad MS Paint job.

But this budding Minister of Silly Beards isn't just mad about the stubble scorn. No, he has a whole litany of whining points, like this gem:

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.'


That's right: THAT'S IT. Eat, or don't. We really don't care. You say you want to give back to the community you're a part of, but the real truth is that you are not a part of the community. You want to eat differently, dress differently, and groom differently. You just want to be different. That's not what a police officer does, Iqbal. You can't stand apart from the community, ignore its culture, mores and norms, yet still be a part of it.

You want to wear a stupid beard, eat special food and worship a ridiculous caricature of a god? Go to the Middle East. There's tons of like-minded people there. In fact, the sooner the better. And take some friends.

Maybe they won't beat your wife and throw her in prison for asking someone to pick up a loaf of bread at the market. Then again, maybe they will. But I can assure you the British government would do no such thing.

So you think long and hard about what "discrimination" and "oppression" really are, Iqbar. You think about what you have, and what you don't. And when you've thought about it long enough, just maybe you'll begin to understand that the world doesn't exist to cater to your insecurities. If you'll grow up and stop playing the victim, perhaps people won't point and laugh any more.

Mr Iqbal had only recently returned to work after a ninemonth (sic)leave of absence on full pay owing to depression when he was sacked for poor performance in August last year.

He took a NINE MONTH leave of absence because he was sad, and then wonders why he was sacked for poor performance? Uh, maybe if he SHOWED UP FOR WORK his review would have been better? The taxpayers should be counter-suing him for wasting their money. Too bad his critical cultural identity doesn't give him the intestinal fortitude to work more than 3 months out of a year.

And besides, his beard does look ridiculous. Silly little whiner. "His mother was a hamster and his father smelled of elderberries! Now go AWAY, or we shall taunt you a second time."

(Special thanks to the Monty Python writers for their wonderful taunts.)
