Never, ever, make a joke to a Muslim. Joking with a Muslim is a hate crime:
Bloggers from around the globe have been debating last week's story about the policeman who quit after giving a Muslim colleague a bottle of wine and some bacon for Christmas.
They are commenting on the resignation of the Bedfordshire officer who gave PC Mahmood the presents as a joke secret Santa present.
On one internet forum, islamboard.com, Alesha from Durham said: "That is really sick.
It amazes me what some people consider to be 'funny'."
The responsible officer should have been sacked rather than giving him the opportunity to resign."Someone giving wine and bacon to a Muslim is more than just a mistake."It goes beyond the practical joke category. It lacks dignity and respect, there is nothing wrong with a bit of humour but this 'crossed the line' and I bet there would be the same outcry if it was vice versa, should the Muslim officer have given a gift with intent to cause offence."
Some commentators objected to the police officer even taking part in the 'secret Santa' swap, which happened on Christmas Eve at Luton Police Station.'
Crayon' from Saudi Arabia said: "The Muslim officer shouldn't have been participating in the secret Santa anyway."
MTAFFI, from the USA, added: "What is this Muslim doing participating in a Christmas game anyway?"
However, some people feel that it was wrong for the officer that gave the bacon and wine to resign.'K Ading' from the Netherlands, said: "I'm absolutely amazed that he lost his job over this. Wine and bacon are everywhere in the UK."The 'victim' should just refuse the 'gift' and someone should explain to the 'perpetrator' it wasn't funny in the least."
Caroline from Haiti added: "It was rude, no doubt. But it's not like they held him down and forced him to eat it. It was stupid and rude, but not cause for someone to lose their job."
Other people felt that the role of the police officers exacerbated the severity of the gesture.
"I think it also matters that this is a policeman - not a cashier or librarian. He is in a position of authority over people," said Jayda from South Carolina, USA."That attitude is corrosive in such a position."
Hana Aku, who states her 'way of life' as Muslim, said: "I am thoroughly disgusted that there are people defending the actions of this officer."There is absolutely no justification for what he did."
Absolutely no justification for making a joke.
