Teacher fired for stating, "Most suicide bombers are Muslim"
Getting fired for stating a fact?  And of course he was fired without a hearing or a chance to defend himself. It is getting to the point where we have to be SO politically correct we can't even discuss Islam unless it is in a good light without feeling the Muslims wrath. Draw a cartoon and you can be killed. make a movie about women's rights in Islam and get killed (Van Gogh in Denmark) and now talk about Islam and suicide bombings and you get fired without a chance to defend yourself.
Andrew McLuskey was sacked from Bayliss Court Secondary School in Slough after a Religious Education lesson discussing the pros and cons of religion.
Pupils at the predominantly Muslim school claimed Mr McLuskey said most suicide bombers were Muslim.
But he rejected the allegation and said the school was too quick to sack him without giving him right of reply.
"I think I should've been given the chance to respond to the allegations and not in effect be ejected from a job without the chance to defend myself."
The school authorities denied they were being heavy-handed and said their first priority was pupils' welfare.
"I don't think it's important what I think," said the school's deputy head teacher Ray Hinds.
"It's what the pupils think that were in the classroom at the time. And they were very upset."
