The voice of reason
|
A man was thrown off a National Express coach in Bristol after a passenger said they felt "uncomfortable" - because he was a Muslim. The man had boarded the service, which runs to London Victoria, at Bristol Coach Station at 10.30am on Thursday morning, but was promptly told to leave by a member of National Express staff after a woman onboard the coach said she would feel "uncomfortable" travelling with him. Fellow passengers looked on in disbelief as the man left the coach with the member of National Express staff. Passengers were told the man had been asked to leave because he had too much luggage, but University of Bristol student Rebekah Makinde said the complaints were clearly made because of the man's religion.

was the extra luggage a suicide vest?
I'm always suspicious of stories that have the form .. he was thrown of because of blah, but we all know the real reason is he was black/green/ a vegetarian etc. |

National Express, which was running the service, insisted he had been asked to leave because he refused to put a printer he was carrying in the hold.

This is the start of fascism. Look at Nazi Germany, fear and scaremongering around Jews.. discrimination shrugged under the rug. I honestly can't believe people are repeating the exact same thing but to another religious group.

It's ignorance and, frankly, borderline racism as far as I'm concerned. Last edited by Lostie!; 08-12-2015 at 04:36 PM. |

The woman should have been asked to leave the coach instead if the only issue was his religion
