Muslim thrown off NE coach in Bristol after passenger said they felt "uncomfortable"
 
http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/images/...0250-large.jpg

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.

Better to be safe than sorry. Blame the violent wing of that religion and not the concerned traveller.

female passengers complained he 'looked shifty'

was the extra luggage a suicide vest? :hehe:

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.

What about the non-Muslim terrorists? Or what about the countless other violent crimes committed on a seemingly daily basis by white people? Please tell me why it's only Muslims causing the worry.

It's ignorance and, frankly, borderline racism as far as I'm concerned.

The woman should have been asked to leave the coach instead if the only issue was his religion :umm2:

no he had lots of luggage and refused to put it in the hold. I would have been worried to. Well done to the driver to get him off.

What is domestic extremism?

Domestic extremism mainly refers to individuals or groups that carry out criminal acts of direct action in pursuit of a campaign. They usually aim to prevent something from happening or to change legislation or domestic policy, but try to do so outside of the normal democratic process. They are motivated by domestic causes other than the dispute over Northern Ireland’s status.

At various times in the recent past, a range of groups have fallen into this category. They have included violent Scottish and Welsh nationalists, right- and left-wing extremists, animal rights extremists and other militant single-issue protesters.

The vast majority of people involved in animal rights, nationalist and political campaigns are peaceful. However, such causes have sometimes attracted extremists who have resorted to violence and intimidation. For example, some extremist animal rights campaigners have attacked property and made threats of violence. They have also posted hoax bombs to homes and offices as part of organised campaigns against animal-testing companies.

Domestic extremists may seek to carry out solo acts of violence. In 1999, David Copeland, a neo-Nazi, carried out a series of bomb attacks against gay and ethnic minority targets in London. His attacks killed three people and injured 129 more.
Countering domestic extremism

For the most part the actions of domestic extremists pose a threat to public order, but not to national security. They are normally investigated by the police, not MI5.

The National Domestic Extremism and Disorder Intelligence Unit, formerly known as the National Domestic Extremism Unit, continues to take the lead in setting the strategic national direction for domestic extremism intelligence and supports UK police forces in tackling these threats.

The NDEDIU remains part of the SO15 Counter Terrorism Command under the existing Metropolitan Police lead force arrangements.
