Aye, they're happy being racist and shitmongering. At Gatwick last week we were in the queue for immigration & 2 flights came in and these 2 muslim lads from my flight & row on the plane were up there & this posh sounding old woman from a vegas flight said to her husband "oh we must move queues, they'll never get in, they can't have passports" to which I told them to shut up and asked if they'd had withdrawals from the daily mail cos there's always a wh smith in arrivals. |
A couple of years ago, an acquaintance of mine was flying through London. He wasn't entering the UK, but because of the length of his layover, he had to go through immigration, where he was apparently deemed a likely Islamic terrorist on account of his prodigious beard.
After a brief interaction with the immigration officer, he was taken to an interrogation room for "questioning." According to him, the interrogation began as such:
| quote: | Official: So, when did you convert?
Suspicious Man: Pardon me?
Official: When did you convert to Islam?
Suspicious Man: I'm not a Muslim.
Official: Then what about the beard?
Suspicious Man: I just have a beard.
Official: But why?
Suspicious Man: I'm male. Facial hair is a secondary sex characteristic of human males.
Official: But you could shave...
Suspicious Man: Well, are you a Muslim?
Official: No, of course not.
Suspicious Man: Well, you have a beard.
Official: Not like yours.
Official: If you're not a Muslim, then what's your religion?
Suspicious Man: I'm an atheist.
Official: Do you have any proof of your religious affiliation?
Suspicious Man: Atheism isn't a religious affiliation.
Official: Excuse me while I check on a few things.
Suspicious Man: If it will expedite this process, I would be happy to doodle some pictures of the prophet Muhammad.
Official: That won't be necessary. |
After a considerable wait, he was then allowed to proceed through immigration...
