Weird Muslim PC sues after workmates 'laughed at his beard'

[The Helper]

A Muslim police officer claims he was forced out of his job by colleagues who made fun of his beard and called him a 'f***ing Paki'.

PC Javid Iqbal, 38, said white officers openly discussed in front of him how they were ' better' than their ethnic-minority colleagues.

The married father of two also claims officers pulled faces at each other if told they had to go out on patrol with him and forced him to walk home from a job instead of picking him up.

I lol'd at his beard.

Subsequently, he said, an officer had openly referred to him as a 'f***ing Paki'.

After reading the article, this is all I saw that would really be considered offensive. Many of the other things are claims that are only from his side of the story, and so they aren't believable.

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

"NINE MONTHS"?!? on full pay?!!! That's ridiculous!!

I lol'd at his beard.

It looks fake

 

[Bronxernijn]

Well no wonder his colleagues don't like him. Bad looking beard and being depressed for 9 months on full pay.

It looks fake

It has been photoshopped, I found the original.

 

[DDRtists]

LOL!

That is the worst beard I've ever seen, literally. It's not good looking at all... :thdown:

Don't you Americans have a law about indecent exposure?

 

[Azlier]

Not in Tennessee. There are a few towns in Tennessee where it's illegal to mow your lawn, but walking around naked is perfectly legal.

Lol @ his beard.

 

[Cornface]

I started laughing at his beard. But still, making fun of him in public is not right.

 

[FireCat]

It looks fake

Yea, it really does, it looks like it was glued on hes face

 

[esb]

Thought his beard was photoshopped.
If I wasn't so lazy, I would find clues to prove it's photoshopped.

I'd hate him too for getting 9 months of full pay for 'depression'. Stuff like that makes ME depressed...

 

[WastedSavior]

I fixed it!

 

[Jedimindtrixxx]

also, wastedsaviors looks more real then the real one

Funniest beard ever lol. Who can blame people for laughing at his beard?

Facial hair says one of two things. On the one hand, you can have George Clooney style facial hair (http://stylebell.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/george_clooney_01.jpg). This says "I'm rugged and sexy. Have sexual intercourse with me." The other is the kid in this article which says "I'm scraggly and unkempt and mostly mentally unstable. I probably want to eat your children. Avoid me." As I said, his is clearly in the second category. Although in all fairness some of the remarks that were apparently leveled against him were very harsh, I'll admit that, and if they're true the workers should be reprimanded. But he also needs better facial hair, he gives the rest of us scragglyfolk a bad name.

I think the main issue with the guys beard is that its very close to his bottom lip without going over, as wastedsaviour demonstrates with his image. Since there is little spacing, aswell as the rich black color that it is, he looks like he has a baby face with what is the same of an old man beard, in the color of a young persons hair - it just looks odd.

I personally go for a Hugh Jackman look with my facial hair.

"I'm scraggly and unkempt and mostly mentally unstable. I probably want to eat your children. Avoid me."

Congratulations on your ability to stereotype people who bother to shape their beard.
You can't split people into scraggly and rugged. There are waaaay too many beard variations for that.

 

[radromity]

I was being sarcastic... I have a great deal of facial hair and it makes me look incredibly mentally unstable if there were just two categories... I know that's not true.

I once had a uncle who had a hitler style mustache, he was given 3 death threats because his facial hair... (and thousands of stares)
