A bus driver in Malmö has been suspended after he allegedly tried to stop a woman from boarding because she was wearing a burqa.
The incident happened on Tuesday morning when Leonora Osmani boarded the number 35 bus on her usual route between the Rosengård housing estate and the city's central station. According to Osmani, the driver stopped her from boarding, saying that her burqa made her hard to identify.
A burqa covers a woman from head to toe, with a small mesh screen to see through.
"I have never before needed to identify myself on a public bus. Wearing a burqa is my own choice and doesn't make me any more threatening than anyone else," she told Metro.
Osmani stayed on the bus anyway, but claims that the driver mocked her and looked at her angrily.
Bus operator Arriva says that the driver has a different version of events, but he has been suspended while an investigation is carried out. The driver has also been reported to police. There are no rules on Malmö public buses requiring passengers to identify themselves.
Is the bus driver Ed McMahon? what did she win?
Ever notice how they all live in European “housing estates”? Don’t Muslims mind living off the infidels who pay for their families’ housing and livihoods?
No, they have no problem with enslaving infidels at all.
The bus driver should have said that he thought that the burqa-clad person was a man carrying a suicide bomb belt.
And when she protests, retort something to the effect of “Sorry, it’s kinda hard to tell... what with you hiding yourself under so much clothing. At the time, you looked like a man with a bomb belt. Maybe you should wear something that can’t allow for the misidentification.”
The driver should have been given a medal for keeping the safety of the children in his charge as his most important responsibility.
Punishing this man for doing his job sends the wrong message.
She is obviously lying. Too bad the administration is hell-bent of exterminating Swedes in favor of those who create babies who will grow up and kill them.
Interesting how the US is blamed for everything in the media however all over the world people are starting to wise up to that cult.
Curious how the driver “has a different interpretation of events” but the paper hasnt bothered to find out or detail what they are...
No, it is actually part of their religion to do so.
What children?
LOL
They would be told to remove the burka or not ride the bus here in Malaysia.
Same thing in the banks here. No motorcycle helmets and no burkas
Who believes a Swede boarding a bus wearing a ski mask would be allowed to make similar complaints and demands?
My answer to these throwbacks: Dress according to sharia, ride according to sharia...
Why don’t the Swedes join the Brits in just handing their country over to the towel-heads and get it over with?
