The driver said it would be "easier" if they got off and kicked them off so they did'nt hold up the rest of the passengers.

why are you so desperate to believe this man over all of the passengers and the driver, a professional bus driver who has encountered all types over his career, why are you not giving them the benefit of the doubt?

he looks like a jerk to me. he's obviously trying to upset people. probably just wants to sue and get some attention. no one could live in the UK for more than a few weeks and not realize that it's totally inappropriate to dress that way.

It looks like he's wearing a racist halloween costume!

okay, but seriously kizzy, it looks like someone TRYING too look like a ****ing terrorist. if i was going to a party and the theme was "dress like a terrorist" that's exactly how i would dress.

It's the exact stereotype of how people think of terrorists. how could he live in the UK and not realize that his style of dress is out of place???

it would be like a british girl from essex getting on a bus in Saudi Arabia wearing a miniskirt and halter top and being surprised that people get offended. would you be surprised if the people in saudi arabia though she was a slut?

If he was would he really dress in such a way as to draw attention to himself, or is it an alarmist reactionary response?

yes, if he wanted to prove some weird point, like the "clock" boy in texas who made a fake bomb to bring to school, who is now living in Qatar and suing for 15 million dollars...

the tangent of muslims playing up to stereotypes so they can get attention and be defended by white people that are clueless.

kinda like the lesbian that faked getting no tip from christians, and wrote on the check that they wouldn't tip a lesbian because God doesn't approve of her lifestyle, but it turned out to be fraud, but she tried to get thousands of dollars from people that felt bad for her on a crowdfunding site.

kinda like the black woman that was Professor at a college and scratched the word "NI*G*R" into the side of her own car and then claimed to be the victim of a hate crime and then went on a ton of news shows talking about how oppressed she is as a black woman at her workplace... until the CCTV footage from the parking lot came out showing her scratching her own car.

it happens all the time.

you've seen the picture. no one trying to assimilate to british culture would look like that and dress like that and create a scene like that unless they wanted the attention.

he knew exactly what reaction he would get, and he wanted it.

just because he's arab and muslim doesn't mean he's STUPID kizzy! the fact that you think he must just be some naive country idiot, just because he's an arab muslim actually shows YOUR racism. Arabs are just as intelligent as any other race.

Couldn't you say that about every woman wearing the hijab or burqa?

I'm racist because I don't assume he doesn't want to assimilate into British culture?

It doesn't tell me anything as we don't know anything, all we have is a photograph.

If this was an American man flirting with arab women on a train or bus in the middle east, and they took him off the train because he was making people uncomfortable by expressing his culture, what would you say about that? I bet you would say that Americans should respect the culture of the place they are in, right???
