Sun pays £30,000 damages to Muslim bus driver accused of fanaticism

they come here by the plane load even though they cant stand us!

stop nhs and benefits and see how many reverse direction ROFL

you know its true

cant wait for the angry replies from the ocuk pc brigade :D
 
what makes you think the suicide bomber would give 5 mins notice before he detonates ?

Who mentioned 5 minutes?
You're on a full bus, bus pulls over, driver gets out of cab then kneels down in the aisle and starts to pray.
Because of the circumstances and the strangeness of the incident I would have reacted within seconds of him kneeling down.
Anybody who says this is normal needs their head looking at.
I work with Muslims and they all agree that he was lucky not to have been beaten in such circumstances.
 
What would you do?
You're on a bus with your family and suddenly out of the blue the bus stops, driver kneels down on the floor and starts praying.
What do you do, sit there and pussy out?

I don't mind admitting at that point I would have poo'd myself but at least I'd be trying to kick a window out and if that wasn't possible I'd be stamping on his head.

(of course the original story may be untrue but let's pretend it happened)
Stop trying to act like a hero. There are four exits on London buses, you just need to step off the bus, or jump off, if you're on the top deck.

No need to "stamp on his head" and risk blowing everyone up at the push of his button, or getting done for GBH if he was innocent.

Because kicking the volatile home made explosives is always a good idea.

Being in the situation you described would not make me panic, I would sit there with a :confused: expression on my face because "shock horror" not every Muslim is an extremist!

Totally incapable of reading my post.
I said I would try and kick out a window and you said it could be done.

They have explosives in their heads now :confused:

BS.
How would you react if someone did this in the aisle of a plane?
What he did was not normal and any Muslim would tell you the same.
 
There is a difference between acting 'not normally' and 'blowing up a bus'

I cannot think of any possible scenario where a bus driver getting out and praying would lead to any other reaction than befuddlement. The thought of launching myself at the driver because he was praying is nothing short of laughable, frankly.

ok it's not normal but surely you can see that you're overreacting to this. why would you want to kick someones head in just because they have got down to pray ?
i said 5 minutes as that is the amount of time people have said he took to pray, it's all he did 'pray'.
i'm still not sure where people are making the link from someone getting down to pray and blowing themselves up.
 
Personally, I'd have no problem with someone showing him the disrespect he had shown others. The selfish, arrogant, ignorant b******d maybe needed a bit of a kick up the arse. ;)
 
He should have gotten the boot.

He should either have:

a. Waited until his breaks.
b. Asked the bus company to give him routes and journeys that meant he would not be working at his prayer times.
c. If that wasn't possible, the bus company shouldn't have hired him.

The real world should not come to a standstill to pander to religious beliefs (Of any sort).

The "terrorist" comment was a bit OTT, although I can sort of understand it as it's not something you expect to see.

Very well said.
And if he couldn't be accommodated, then don't give him the job. He shouldn't have been employed if he couldn't fit in with the job.

But I also think he'd have got a smack in the chops if he'd have done that in the town down the road from me. And I have no problem with that.

No he shouldn't. You should only ever be given the boot for something totally unacceptable/dangerous whatever the reason.

The first stage of a formal disciplinary service (or whichever stage currently at) should be the proper and justified conclusion to this.

Assuming we're talking about the middle of the journey bus driver and not the Sun damages bus driver :D
 
Who cares? I've watched drivers sit there for 10 minutes having a fag because "the bus is ahead of timetable". Deal with it or find another method of transport. Admittedly TFL's monopoly doesn't help matters...
