[Times Online]

A Catholic airport worker was suspended for displaying an image of Jesus on a staff room wall after a Muslim colleague made a complaint against him.

The picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a subject of devotion for many Catholics, was put up by Gareth Langmead at Manchester City Airport as “an act of provocation” according to the complaint.

Read about it here.

[From me]

So much for tolerance.  Stupid, stupid, stupid!

The article goes on to say:

Mr Langmead’s suspension comes only weeks after a Hindu airport worker at Heathrow lost her job for wearing a nose stud as part of her religion.

Mr. Langmead was suspended for a few days. The Hindu worker was suspended for 4 months.

Kevin, when you say:

So much for tolerance.

What do you mean to imply?
