But oddly enough, in shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain, he lost his suit over a fake bomb with “Allahu akbar” written on it that was used in a training exercise. One would think he would have won a big payout for the intolerable suggestion by the security firm that there is something Islamic about jihad terrorism.
“Muslim train driver loses religious discrimination claim after suing security firm working for Heathrow Express that used fake bomb daubed with words ‘Allahu Akbar’ as part of training exercise,” by Jemma Carr, Mailonline, January 14, 2021:
A Muslim train driver has lost his religious discrimination claim after suing a security firm for using a fake bomb with the words ‘Allahu Akbar’ on it as part of a training exercise.
Anis Ali, 36, launched a claim for compensation after he discovered that the fake suspicious package planted to test security procedures had the Arabic words for ‘Allah is Greater’ on it, an employment tribunal heard.
Mr Ali – who worked for Heathrow Express at the time – said that seeing the words of Islam connected to a simulated terror device ‘violated his dignity’ and created a ‘hostile environment’ for him.
However, the tribunal ruled he had not been discriminated against and it was unreasonable for him to take offence because ‘this phrase has been used in connection with terrorist attacks’.
It ruled that in two other incidents he had been a victim of religious discrimination when colleagues complained about him wearing ‘a Sikh kara bracelet’.
Since leaving Heathrow Express, which operates services between London Paddington and Heathrow Airport, Mr Ali has won plaudits for his NHS volunteer work during the coronavirus pandemic.
In acknowledgement of the hundreds of hours he volunteered in 2020, Mr Ali’s name was even put up in lights above London’s Oxford Street.
The tribunal heard that in August 2017 staff for Redline Assured Security Limited – which has a contract with Heathrow Airport for security-related services – concealed a carrier bag at one of Heathrow Express’s stations as part of a test.
This was open at the top, and contained a cardboard box and some electric cabling.
At the top of the bag, so as to be visible on close inspection, was a piece of paper with the words ‘Allahu Akbar’ written in Arabic.
The proper translation of this is ‘Allah is Greater’ and this was described by the tribunal as ‘an important and significant phrase for Muslims, which may be used many times a day by Muslims in the context of religious devotion’.
The tribunal heard that Mr Ali was not on duty at the time of the exercise but when he discovered the nature of the note ‘he considered this to violate his dignity and created a hostile […] environment for him’.
Mark Rutherford, operations director of Redline, told the tribunal: ‘The only purpose of the note is to ensure that the package looked obviously suspicious […] to reflect just one of the current threats that were present in the UK at the time.’
He added that Redline would also use English phrases in their fake suspicious packages, such as ‘Animal Testing must STOP now’ or ‘No Third Runway’.
Mr Ali, from Morden, south London, claimed that Redline had discriminated against him because of his religion by using the words Allahu Akbar in this context.
However, his claim was dismissed by employment judge Laurence Antsis, who ruled this was not directed at Mr Ali, saying: ‘Regrettably, this phrase has been used in connection with terrorist attacks.’
He added that it was ‘legitimate’ for Redline to reinforce the suspicious nature of its packages by ‘referring to known threats and matters connected with previous terrorist incidents’ and it was ‘not reasonable’ for Mr Ali to take offence.
Mr Ali, who now works for Great Western Railway, made two other claims of unlawful harassment related to his religion by colleagues at Heathrow Express and was successful in these.
In November 2016, a duty station manager called Davinder Hare complained to Heathrow Express about Mr Ali – known as Anis – wearing a Sikh kara bracelet despite being a Muslim.
He claimed that Muslim men would wear a kara to attract and then rape Sikh girls.
He emailed bosses and attached an article, which was extremely critical of the religion of Islam.
In March 2017, another Sikh colleague – a train driver called Narinder Rai – made similar remarks about why Mr Ali would wear a kara.
The tribunal, held at Reading, Berkshire, ruled that Heathrow Express and Mr Hare would have to pay Mr Ali a total of £2,000 for ‘injury to feelings’ on grounds of religious discrimination for the first incident.
For the second incident, the tribunal ordered Heathrow Express and Mr Rai to pay combined £2,000 on the same grounds….
mortimer says
When do we get compensation every time Muslims insult our religion?
spiro says
Exactly !!!
Wellington says
Good point, mortimer, an eminently good point, but as I recently maintained on another thread here at JW, we live in a time, a la Orwell, when all religions are created equal but one religion is more equal than others.
The Age of Nonsense marches on. It surely does. And inexorably into an all consuming totalitarianism, which both Islam and woke Leftism are only too eager to inflict upon all of us.
Westman says
Intentional infliction? He certainly made numerous efforts and finally, a payoff; like a slot machine that works without a coin.
We can imagine in the throes of his, “violated dignity”, Anis Ali cried all the way to the bank.
Wellington says
I will prefer, Westman, to think of this turkey as “Anus,” not “Anis.”
End PC says
Muslims insult Christianity & Judaism at least five times a day, every day, in their required prayers. See “Prayers for Kafirs” on YouTube.

wtf is a moslem employed at heathrow?

Obviously you haven’t been to Heathrow recently, because, once you’re in the terminal building, you could be forgiven for believing that your plane had been diverted to Islamabad. (Mind you, you could believe that in quite a few parts of London and the UK these days). The idea of Disciples of the Great Prophet working on the railways could also be a matter of some concern. London Underground had to dispense with the services of one of them working on the maintenance staff after it was discovered that he was related to a terrorist who was currently in jail, and a very serious crash on the main line into Paddington was caused by a muslim driver jumping a red signal because he couldn’t concentrate as a result of fasting for Ramadan. And that’s just two incidents that the MSM have been allowed to report.

This above,top, article does property does mention the current world pandemic plague coronavirus.
It’s therefore very interesting that by the reading from the Quran it’s very obvious Allah is responsible for that starting and continuing the plague of coronavirus
What a cruel and vicious god, Allah is.
For when getting down to basic Quran theology which is the Quran based worldview the one who is really to blame and is responsible for the coronavirus plague is the god of Islam ,Allah. For according to the Quran Allah had sent cruel disaster of coronavirus on human beings .
This means then the god of Islam, as if he really does is a destructive and malicious god. For the Quran teaches in Surah 57:22. “No misfortune [disaster] can happen on earth or in your souls but is recorded in a decree [Quran ] before [in eternity ] We [Allah] bring it into existence: that is easy for Allah.”
Therefore according the Islam’s “holy book,” the Quran the Islamic god, Allah, is guilty of infecting people with coronavirus What a cruel vicious, malicious god Allah must be. So Allah is than a very unloving malice –filled god.
Nevertheless, all Christians and Jews shout not lose faith and heart in the God of the Bible as vicious by sending coronavirus on people.
This is because the god of Islam is should be made clear that the God of the Bible is not really Allah the god of Islam. To explain, through the passing of time it has become widely accepted that the word “Allah” is just the Arabic word for God. This started when truth compromising Bible “translators” substituted the word Allah where the word God should have had been uses in the Arabic translation of the Bible. Furthermore, in the glossary in the book ASSASSINS! By Dr. Haha Lung it defines Allah as the “Pre-Islamic Lunar god : the god of Islam. “
Likewise, in the book entitled INSIDE ISLAM by a former Muslim who is now a Christian, Reza F. Safa on pages 22, 23 it reads “In pre-Islamic times both Allah –worship and Baal-worship involved the worship of the sun, the moon and the stars which h defines them as astral religions. [Which are condemned in the Bible, Second Kings 23:5] The crescent moon, which was the symbol of moon worship, is also the symbol of Islam.”

They attempt to appear like tough guys…heavy beards, making bold threats, etc….but when it comes to “hurt feelings,” moslims are the world champs at wimpiness.
Of course, it isn’t that their feelings are really hurt; they just know how to get some money without having to work for it. And, this in turn, makes other employers afraid of “offending” these creeps…creeps they are forced by the governments to hire.
Why was he wearing a bracelet that is a symbol of another religion? if not for the reason the other man complained, what reason is there for a moslim to sport a symbol of a ‘god’ that he does not worship? Do moslims every wear crosses…why, yes, they do; When they want to deceive others who are non moslim and are aware that many terror groups are moslim through and through.
This wearing of crosses was one of the things isis advised their fellow terrorists to do.
So, what about the Sikh bracelet?
And as another asked, why was he working at an airport?
The only ‘good’ thing about this is that he was denied the one suit and the judge made a good pronouncement about the use of the islam terror phrase.
jca reid says
This really is the downfall of the West setting in. What about the hurt feelings of non-Muslims? A few years ago, a Muslim man was interviewed for a job with the Supermarket chain, TESCO. He was asked about handling Alcoholic drinks & Pig Meat Products. He said he did not mind but would object to cleaning up spilt or broken containers of either product. The interviewing team said he would not be asked to clean up & gave him a job. After only a few weeks he put in a complaint about having to handle intact alcoholic & Pig meat packages. Although the guy blatantly lied at his interview, the Court made Tescos pay him, £10,000 (US$13,000approx). The thin end of the wedge is being shoved in deeper & deeper.

So when will UK Christians dismissed for wearing a crucifix or discussing religion, receive their compensation for religious discrimination….?
SS says
Muslim men wear Hindu & Sikh symbols as part of their M.O to groom Hindu & Sikh girls (‘Love’ Jihad). Shame on the UK judge! He should look at the grooming and sexual exploitation of English girls at the hands of Muslim men all over the UK!
Michael Copeland says
Keep hoping.

Maybe Anis Ali was upset because it was only a simulated terror device and not the real thing.
Giacomo Latta says
‘this phrase has been used in connection with terrorist attacks’
Change the headline immediately to ”Common sense invades UK bureaucracy.” We can only hope it strikes as widely as COVID-19.
”It ruled that in two other incidents he had been a victim of religious discrimination when colleagues complained about him wearing ‘a Sikh kara bracelet’.”
Were these colleagues Sikhs? They are the ones being slagged by having some creepy muslim parading as one of them.
