Muslim anthropology professor / diversity director (Skidmore) on a tour bus in Orlando, claims offense at alleged ethnic joke told by bus driver who announced at the outset he would provide equal opportunity insults as part of his schtik. Local paper says driver fired over "jokes", only the one (raghead/sheethead) is alleged, however. Local CAIR office director says handful of discrimination complaints received monthly in Orlando area, but claiming supernatural powers, she states unequivocally most anti muslim prejudice goes "unreported". National CAIR office issues press release boasting of the firing. Professors claim to have spoken to the driver at time of joke, sent e-mails after returning home to New York, prompting the firing, apparently without a hearing or investigation. The original unmoderated title of this thread is "Thin-Skinned Muslims Get Bus Driver Fired Over Joke, CAIR Cheers".

"Here in America, we call them 'rag-heads' or 'towelheads,' but that's not right. What they wear on their heads is more like a sheet. We should be calling them sheetheads.".

I just refer to them as murdering bastards.

The driver needed a new act.

"And now they're telling us we're supposed to be nice to these Muslim terrorists who are trying to kill us all," Hilal Isler recalled him saying. "Here in America, we call them 'rag-heads' or 'towelheads,' but that's not right. What they wear on their heads is more like a sheet. We should be calling them sheetheads."...

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL...

The guy should even get "Funniest Sentence" award for that... It seems that Muslims in America are more sensitive than sperm cells.

Liberals and Fascists have no sense of humor.

Sheet heads is closer. LOL

One sect of this rock and pedophile worshiping cult believes their next prophet will be born by a man.

They check their feces for lumps with their unclean hand.
Any lumps in their "sheet" may be their next god.

Well ya gotta admit the bus driver had little discretion using a joke like that.

Even if it is true.

CAIR is a terrorist organisation and should be recognised as such.

We don't post original unmoderated titles. We post ACTUAL titles of the articles posted. When titles are changed, the search function doesn't work, and articles get re-posted numerous times.

While the professor is thin skinned (especially with his stupid Sea World comment), a bus driver has no constitutional right to insult his passengers. If a passenger complains, the bus company is within their right to fire him.

"Mostly the incidents go unreported, she said..."

How does she know if they're unreported?

"claims offense at alleged ethnic joke told by bus driver who announced at the outset he would provide equal opportunity insults as part of his schtik"

If I had a tour bus company in Orlando, which catered to tourists from all over the world, I would fire this guy too. Maybe his "schtik" would be funny in a comedy club, or maybe not, but a tour bus is the wrong place to insult people...even if he insults all equally. This bus driver was just stupid. Orlando survives on tourism. People of all different races, religions and origins visit the area. Anyone with a background in hospitality would tell you telling jokes or making insults in such a culturally diverse group is unwise and bad for business.

Sabiha Khan, executive director of the Orlando office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said she receives two to three complaints a month ...

That's way too low a number. What's her phone number?

At Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., Hilal Isler is professor of anthropology and director of student diversity programs. Her husband is a professor of computer science at an engineering college.

This was Hilal Isler's third time to visit Orlando. At SeaWorld's Shamu stadium, she said, flying eagles and the American flag flashed on the jumbo screen. Audience members were shouting, "We support our troops" and "Go America," Isler said. The scene irked her. "We are not at a military rally," she said. "Maybe they don't want us here," she said. "We won't be back."

See it wasn't about a poor joke, that guy just got in the way.

These people hate America and they hate the fact we are willing to fight.

I suggest they not only stop visiting sea world but that they get the hell out of the country period.

Obviously, the upset person must belong to the sub-class of Muslim that is the butt of the joke:

we're supposed to be nice to these Muslim terrorists who are trying to kill us all"

The driver did not exhibit good sense by telling it, without better researching his audience; but neither did he (ahem!) rag on Muslims in general.

......"Here in America, we call them 'rag-heads' or 'towelheads,' but that's not right. What they wear on their heads is more like a sheet. We should be calling them sheetheads."...

LOL! Works for me!
