Subject: [Sndbox] God forbid we insult a terrorist..Sacked for Insulting Binny Laden
A prison guard in Britain is in court claiming unfair dismissal after he was fired for insulting Usama bin Laden following the Sept. 11 attacks, possibly offending Muslims in the prison by his insensitive remarks, reports the Daily Telegraph.
Colin Rose, a guard at Blundeston Prison with an unblemished 21-year record in the department, says he threw some keys into a metal chute at the prison gatehouse in November of 2001. He was said to have remarked that he threw them so hard because a photo of bin Laden was at the bottom of the chute.
Peter McKinnon, another prison officer, told Rose to be quiet because two Asian women wearing headscarves and an Asian man were at the window of the gatehouse.
It was never determined whether the visitors heard the comment.
