Jedi Knight Wins Apology

[00bob00]

I did a search for jedi and apology but found nothing so don't think it's a repost

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ns-apology-Jobcentre-kicked-wearing-hood.html

Bare in mind it is the daily mail, so ignore all the political undertones and just accept it for it is: hilarious.

I laughed out loud when I read this earlier in the week.....think I may have to get into this Jediism malarky

The father of three now plans to sue Jobcentre Plus in Southend for discrimination, despite admitting he took up the 'faith' last year only as an excuse to wear hooded tops.

'I am a Star Wars follower. It means following the way of the Jedi,' he said yesterday. 'The main reason is I want to wear my hood up and I have got a religion which allows me to do that.

What a tool.

isn't this the same douche who was kicked out of tesco for wearing his hood up?

 

[platinum87]

A apology via a letter is meaningless

Folder full of templates, i.e, religion, sex, long wait etc.. when you get complaint, just print off template, sign it and send it!..

'I was told by security staff to remove my hood. I was told, not asked. I said, "It's my religion, I'm a Jedi Knight",' said Mr Jarvis, 31.

.... and I'm Miss Piggy.

If he believes in self sacrifice then he should do us all a favour and stop claiming benefits.

I hope this idiot doesnt get any money over this if he sue's.

I think they should have confiscated his lightsabre. Alternatively, surely he could have simply done the Jedi mind trick on them.

 

[RDM]

Part of the problem is how vague the legislation relating to religious discrimination is.

As stupid as this seems, he is only doing what followers of other religions do. Sikhs are always banging on about being allowed the carry an offensive weapon around with them.

 

[bledd]

What a bender

 

[Moley]

This is totally ridiculous, Jedis are totally fictional characters whose inventor is still alive today to testify that there is no such thing as a Jedi religion.

This man is NOT a religious adherant he is a film fan plain and simple and should be treated as such.

(waves hand) I am eligible to receive housing benefits on top of my jsa and these definitely aren't the droids you're looking for!

How is Jedism any different from any other religion?

 

[Paramount]

Lol "sihks are allowed to carry a great big dagger".

 

[CliffyBiro]

Read about this on another forum and have since converted.

No he's not. "Jedism" is not a real religion and there is nothing in it which obliges or requires him to wear a hood.

The fact that it's not a religion springs to mind...

Is there anything in Islam which obligates women to wear a hijab, burka, niqab?

Please don't mock my religion, I find it offensive. I do not claim your religion to be false

Why isn't it a religion?
