A British pensioner who quipped "I'm not a Muslim" when asked to remove his shoes at airport security spent more than six months with a criminal charge of racism hanging over him, before the Crown Prosecution Service dropped the case just one day before it was due in court. Paul Griffith, who was flying from Stansted Airport in Essex, has described the experience as "incredibly stressful", the Daily Mail has reported.
Griffith, 75, was on his way to Malaga, Spain, for a weeks holiday when he set off the scanners on his way through security at Stansted Airport earlier this year. He was pulled aside and asked to remove his shoes, at which point he remarked "I'm not a Muslim, am I?" The security guard accused him of racism and called the police, telling them that he had been upset by the remark. After taking him to an office to be interviewed, the police allowed him to continue on his journey only to arrest him a week later as he was passing back through the airport.
"One minute I am queuing up to get on a plane and the next I am confronted by two armed policemen. They said I had used racist language and took me to an office in the terminal," Mr Griffith explained.
"When I got back I had to wait six hours before they interviewed me again, arrested me and said that was being charged with causing racially aggravated harassment. I was photographed, had my finger prints taken and they also took a DNA swab from my mouth. Then they said I would have to go to my local police station.....

This swabbing of the DNA is getting out of hand. The next step is mandatory chip implants.
The UK kowtowing to mussies again and since they consider musslim a race now ....
If Obummer had his way, it would be illegal to even criticize a Muslim much less the ROP..
Brits, it is long past time for your revolution.
Get rid of your so-called marshmallow leaders.
Hang them, burn the remains, and place the ashes in the nearest outhouse.
Then, do with your Muslim infection as you see fit.
Oh, you might find that guns would be useful.
Oh, never mind.
Muslims have grafted themselves into the “race” issue because it has been so effective in destroying Western Society.
England needs a “paradigm shift”
“...a criminal charge of racism...”
Doesn’t that say everything that needs to be said?
Before we know it ‘breathing too much oxygen’ may be a crime.
George Orwell had the wrong year and the wrong ideology but still figured Britain would end up a tyrannical nation.
Yeah, don’t expect Americans to send their guns over, again, to support your effort.
Last time we did that they ended up destroyed,
so we don’t intend to waste more down that rathole.
Ignorant morons. Islam is not a race, Islam a totalitarian political system, much like her ugly stepsister National Socialism.
If racism is a crime, then that explains why all the blacks are in prison.
Christianity can’t be a “race” though, by the same token.
Breathing oxygen is still allowed without a permit from the leftoids.
But exhaling the CO2 is already a serious crime.
Unbelievable...
Especially the video in the comments section where the British police were running from a Muzz crowd.
nice hit!
Thanks to this Britain! Sounds like the sound of Freedom!
Its sad that Britain has dropped to this 3rd world level.
