A simply incredible story of a cop giving a fellow cop a tasteless gift of bacon and wine.
Yes, the receiver of the gift was a Muslim.
But he laughed it off.
Not so another non-Muslim cop who thought it was offensive and turn in the gift giver.
In standard “use a sledge hammer to drive in a thumbtack” mode, the cop resigned.
A Muslim police officer given bacon and wine as a Secret Santa gift decided to treat it as a harmless if tasteless joke. But a non-Muslim colleague failed to show the same level of tolerance.
The officer who supplied the gift, 26-year-old PC Rob Murrie, was reported to his superiors for racism.
And PC Murrie subsequently came under such pressure that he felt he had no option but to resign from the Bedfordshire force.
Yesterday, the target of the joke, 31-year-old Arshad Mahmood, said he still regarded PC Murrie as “a good officer and a good friend”, while Muslim community leaders accused police chiefs of “overreacting” to the incident at Luton police station.
If the MUSLIM cop was participating in a CHRISTIAN activity, why wasn’t this taken into consdieration and thrown completely out (given Mahmood was not offended?)
Once again we have 90% of the population kowtowing to 10% of it.
