Christian doctor 'was forced out'
By Frances Gibb

An eye specialist has accepted undisclosed damages after claiming that he was forced out of his job by Muslim colleagues.

Joseph Erian took the United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust to an employment tribunal, stating that he was made to resign from the ophthalmology department of Pilgrim Hospital, Boston, after staff there discovered that he was a Christian. The tribunal, which started earlier this month, ended when the trust offered an out-of-court settlement and admitted that the problems surrounding Dr Erian’s case “were not his fault”.

Dr Erian pursued his claim privately after the British Medical Association refused to back the case, Jane Jelly, his lawyer, said. He brought his case under the Employment Equality (Religion or Belief) Regulations 2003, which make it illegal to discriminate against someone on the grounds of their religion or beliefs.

Now, shouldn't tolerance be a two-way process? Otherwise it doesn't work.

Didn't you know? Look at my signature.


They only tolerate you, if you agree with them.

:wink:

So, no, it's not a two way street.

Ask the ACLU, they told me so.

I posted this in a different thread yesterday:

Looks like Ummon started a new topic, I wonder what it's about.... oh, it's about Muslims vs the West, how surprising.

I guess this is Ummons Muslims vs the West thread of the day.
Can you say obsessed?

[Ummon]

No, but you can say troll. :wink:

And you were replied to, in the original thread were your comment belonged.

It was not my intend to troll, sorry if it came across like that.

I just wanted to point out that we have had a discussion about this subject many times before and I don't see how this new article deserves a new thread.

I just posted a thread discussing the self destructive nature of the civil rights movement.

There is nothing more destructive to race/religious relations than one-sided "tolerance".

What does this have to do with tolerance? If those Muslims were tolerant, he would never have been forced out. I can't believe the scapegoating you guys are doing here; this has absolutely NOTHING to do with tolerance. Do you really think those Muslims who forced him out are the type of people who preach about religious tolerance? Listen to some Imams sometime.

If you're right, why didn't the ACLU start screaming bloody murder when the story came out? They scream bloody murder every time a black person or a Muslim feels stiffed.

Maybe because Britain is not actually part of the United States?

Actually, they have opened up a couple of ACLU branches in Great Britian.

Try again, Darth Wong.

Oh I see, so if they have a "couple of ACLU branches", they must be just as active in Britain as they are in the US, hence validating Kassad's argument, right?

But again, can't blame you for trying that approach. Sorry to squash it.

Do you really think this trash-talking will accomplish anything? Yeah, you're a kick-ass debater, all bow down to you, etc. Happy?

This article is informative.

1. We now have a department of eye specialist in a hopsital in UK composed entirely of Muslims (well, great for Muslims. Shows that we're not a bunch of uneducated people with bomb strapped on our bellies)
2. The reason of him being forced out is not disclosed (could be that he's eating pork in the sight of everyone...or made something not Halal and had everyone eat it, and then told everyone so, and then laughing about it because it was fun...then again, I'm making things up)
3. The incident was settled out of court for an undisclosed amount of damages.

Very exciting article. Ummon, I want more.

1. I never in my life thought that muslims are a "bunch of uneducated people with bombs strapped to their bellies".
2. Well, being kicked out for that would be discrimination in any case. You can be ineducate, and disrespectful, and yet a valid professional.
3. This is the most mysterious part indeed. Yet evidently, damage was done, or so it appears.

I cannot seem to find any other links on this, anyone finding them would please post them here?
