UK - Muslim Chef Gets A £76,000 'Kick' in his Bacon Butt-ie

Halleluiah!

Below is a follow up story to my prior post :

MUSLIM POLICE CHEF SUES OVER TRADITIONAL ENGLISH BREAKFAST

"...(a)  muslim police chef suing for having to cook meals for the police men and women for which it is his JOB to cook.

"Hasanali Khoja is accusing the force of religious discrimination after it refused to guarantee in his contract that he would be excused from handling pork products."

For once I am actually pleased to be able to state that Mr. Khoja has been handed his lying bacon butt-ie on a platter by Judge Michael Southam:

"Hasanali Khoja accused the Metropolitan Police of failing to consider his Islamic beliefs when he was asked to handle pork products as a catering manager at a police station.  The £23,000-a-year chef claimed suggestions by his bosses that he should wear gloves and use tongs left him 'stressed and humiliated'. Muslims are banned from eating pork under Islamic law.

But Mr Khoja, 62, lost his claim in May after a police employee told an employment tribunal how she saw Mr Khoja eat bacon rolls and sausages. The Metropolitan Police Authority (MPA) has now won a ruling ordering Mr Khoja to pay its costs, which total at least £76,200. In its costs claim, the Met said Mr Khoja 'knew that he had asked for a bacon roll two or three times for personal consumption before bringing his claim and throughout the conduct of his claim'.

'The fact that he had knowingly come into contact with pork products before bringing the claim shows that the claim had no reasonable prospect of success from the outset.'

Mr Khoja gave further insight into his greed when he was caught telling more lies:

Mr Khoja, from Edgware, North London, who is still employed by the Met, claimed at a hearing in Watford that he could afford to pay only £80 a week as he has little income, lives in rented property and is struggling with £30,000 legal bills of his own. But the court discovered he had sold another home last year, splitting profits of almost £200,000 with his wife and two sons.

I'd like to think that this ruling will deter future "nice little earner" seekers - but as such lawsuits - by muslims - have frequently produced lucrative results in the past I doubt that they will cease padding their pockets with the proceeds from such 'trauma's' as "hurt feelings over head scarf"  -

And let's not forget muslim Fatah Lemes who took a job as a cocktail waitress then sued saying the red dress she was "forced to wear hurt her feelings'.  A dhimmified tribunal awarded her £2,919.95 for those hurt feelings and loss of earnings" - Of course no one on the tribunal saw the Facebook pictures of a smiling Miss Lemes flaunting her two "hurt feelings" in a far more revealing dress.

One needs no better example - than Ms Lemes -  as to why so many muslims have turned British employers - via the soft headed, muslim pandering British judicial system -into "hurt feelings" cash cows. 

But at least for today...........there is a glimmer of hope.

Muslim police chef defeated in 'bacon roll' tribunal faces £75,000 legal bill

Costly case: A caterer told the court that Hasanali Khoja ate pork

A Muslim chef who lost a claim of religious discrimination against Scotland Yard after complaining he was forced to cook sausages and bacon faces a legal bill of more than £75,000.

Hasanali Khoja accused the Metropolitan Police of failing to consider his Islamic beliefs when he was asked to handle pork products as a catering manager at a police station.  

The £23,000-a-year chef claimed suggestions by his bosses that he should wear gloves and use tongs left him 'stressed and humiliated'. Muslims are banned from eating pork under Islamic law.

But Mr Khoja, 62, lost his claim in May after a police employee told an employment tribunal how she saw Mr Khoja eat bacon rolls and sausages.

The Metropolitan Police Authority (MPA) has now won a ruling ordering Mr Khoja to pay its costs, which total at least £76,200. In its costs claim, the Met said Mr Khoja 'knew that he had asked for a bacon roll two or three times for personal consumption before bringing his claim and throughout the conduct of his claim'.

'The fact that he had knowingly come into contact with pork products before bringing the claim shows that the claim had no reasonable prospect of success from the outset.'

Judge Michael Southam agreed and ruled Mr Khoja should pay costs, though these would be determined at a later date at a county court.

Mr Khoja, from Edgware, North London, who is still employed by the Met, claimed at a hearing in Watford that he could afford to pay only £80 a week as he has little income, lives in rented property and is struggling with £30,000 legal bills of his own.

But the court discovered he had sold another home last year, splitting profits of almost £200,000 with his wife and two sons.

The decision is another setback for the police chef, who believed he was on course for a large settlement when he launched his case in 2007.

Mr Khoja, who sits on a Foods Standards Agency advisory committee on Muslim issues, decided to take action after Scotland Yard chiefs placed him on unpaid leave for a year after his refusal to work with pork.

He said he was then given work in a different building but his role was downgraded.

But his case fell apart when another caterer, Mary Boakye, told the court she served him bacon rolls 'two or three' times at the Met canteen at Heathrow in West London.

When she told him she was surprised because his religion banned him from eating pork, Mr Khoja allegedly replied: 'I eat them once in a while.'

Another chef said he saw Mr Khoja once happily eat a sausage dish and told the court 'he was not as strict as some Muslims'.

Judge Southam also heard how Mr Khoja had made 'wild and baseless' allegations about a human resource manager, allegedly making racial facial gestures.

Mr Khoja is one of several ethnic minority staff to launch racial discrimination claims against Scotland Yard. The most high-profile was former Assistant Commissioner Tarique Ghaffur, who last year accused Sir Ian Blair of excluding him from the upper echelons of the force because of his skin colour.

Mr Ghaffur retired after receiving an out-of-court settlement and dropped the allegations.

Muslim Gang Attacks - Punches - Spits on Lone British Woman

The below news article (of course not found in the mainstream press)  is a prime example of how the vast amount of muslim "men" feel about women - particularly white infidel women.

A lone British young woman was in her car stopped at a stop light. She was minding her own business and had her driver side window rolled down. A gang of cowardly muslim thugs seized the opportunity to attack this vulnerable lone woman. Bad enough this poor woman was physically attacked and punched but she had to endure the vile racist, anti-white filth spewing from their mouths and the humiliation of having globs of their slimy spit in her face.

Below are some of the facts regarding what Islam teaches men about women (Source = The Religion of Peace) - thus should it be any surprise to realize as the muslim population of Britain - currently estimated at 2.4 million ---- continues to skyrocket that crimes against British women will also skyrocket? Or shall we keep our eyes and minds closed and continue to spout multicultural lies and allow  British women to pay a high price for multiculturalism?

Where is the outrage???? Where are the politicians rushing to the microphones condemning such a violent racist act????? Where are the in-depth news articles in the mainstream media?????  Why do we let the dhimmified police get away with once again telling us that such muslim crimes are a "one off" - when the facts tell us otherwise?????

Even more concerning = Why aren't the British people - marching in droves - demanding justice for British people and an end to muslim colonization???

Qur'an (4:11) - (Inheritance) "The male shall have the equal of the portion of two females" (see also verse 4:176).

Qur'an (2:282) - (Court testimony) "And call to witness, from among your men, two witnesses. And if two men be not found then a man and two women."  Muslim apologists have sometimes creatively tried to explain why a woman's testimony is worth half that of a man's under Islamic law (based on this verse) while still attempting to maintain the semblance of equality.  Unfortunately for them, studies consistently show that women are less likely to tell lies than men, meaning that they would make more reliable witnesses in any court - were it not for Islam's obvious sexism.

Qur'an (2:228) - "and the men are a degree above them [women]"

Qur'an (5:6) - "And if ye are unclean, purify yourselves. And if ye are sick or on a journey, or one of you cometh from the closet, or ye have had contact with women, and ye find not water, then go to clean, high ground and rub your faces and your hands with some of it"  Men are to rub dirt on their hands if there is no water to purify them following casual contact with a woman (such as shaking hands).

Qur'an (24:31) - Women are to lower their gaze around men, so they do not look them in the eye.

Qur'an (2:223) - "Your wives are as a tilth unto you; so approach your tilth when or how ye will..."  A man has dominion over his wives' bodies as he does his land.  This verse is overtly sexual.  There is some dispute as to whether it is referring to the practice of anal intercourse, which it has been used historically to justify.  If this is what Muhammad meant, however, then it would appear to contradict what he said in Muslim (8:3365).

Qur'an (4:3) - (Wife-to-husband ratio) "Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four"

Qur'an (53:27) - "Those who believe not in the Hereafter, name the angels with female names."  Angels are sublime beings, and would therefore be male.

Qur'an (4:24) and Qur'an (33:52) - A man is permitted to take women as sex slaves outside of marriage.

This is not only a British problem but a problem for Western cultures -Islam teaches muslims to not only feel entitled to attack and rape our "inferior" women but see this as a victory over the infidel on their path to Islamization of the world or Global Caliphate. It is time to look at big picture and see the ever growing numbers of attacks on "kuffar" women as not just a muslim crime but also an act of terrorism.

Keighley woman spat at and punched in Keighley attack

By Steve Wright »

A young woman motorist was spat at and punched in a racial attack as she sat in her car in Keighley town centre.

The 23-year-old victim was left distressed by the incident, which happened as she waited at traffic lights with her window wound down.

Police say the “disturbing” assault was racially motivated and are appealing for help to trace the “cowardly” gang responsible.

The woman, who is white, had pulled up at the lights in North Street, at 5pm on Saturday when she was approached by a group of Asian men.

They began to racially abuse her and spat at her through the open window.

One of the males punched her while trying to grab her car keys.

After a short while the victim managed to wind up the window and drive away from the scene.

She was not seriously hurt but was left distressed. The group of men then left the area, heading up Devonshire Street.

The main aggressor is described as Asian, in his late teens, 5ft 5ins, and of skinny build.

He had brown eyes and was wearing a plain grey hooded top.

Detective Inspector John Mountain, of Airedale and North Bradford CID, said: “This was a disturbing racial assault and attempted robbery on a young woman in her own car who was minding her own business and appears to have done nothing to provoke it.

“The attack happened at a busy time of the day in the town centre and I am appealing for anyone who saw what happened, or may know the identities of any of this group, to come forward.

“Fortunately incidents such as this are rare and I now appeal to residents from all sections of the community in Keighley to assist us in finding those responsible for this cowardly attack.”

UK Labour Government To Make British Tax Law ---> Sharia compliant

Clearly the dhimmified Labour government will not be content until all the British people are living under sharia law. How can anyone feel anything but contempt for these traitors?  Supposedly a 'snap' election is coming -none too soon: 

"While May 6 remains the likely general election date, Labour’s recent bounce in the polls has meant that party chiefs are now preparing for an early March 25 poll.>....Labour headquarters are accelerating the process of selecting parliamentary candidates, with bosses set to take new powers in the new year to parachute party loyalists into winnable seats."     SOURCE

I have a better idea = anyone who is stupid enough to vote Labour should be promptly boarded on a plane and air dropped into Saudi Arabia - parachutes optional.

Fans of PM Gordon Brown?

SHARIA LAW SNEAKED INTO LABOUR BUDGET

THE Treasury plans to rewrite Britain’s tax rules to usher in a new wave of Sharia law for the country’s financial system.

The one-line revelation is buried in the 212-page pre-Budget report.

It is among a string of startling details which barely merit a mention in Alistair Darling’s controversial mini-Budget – prompting fresh accusations that Labour is “burying bad news”.

The Government wants to tap into the fast-growing Sharia finance market, set to top £205billion a year, and turn London into the “global gateway for Islamic finance”.

Many conventional financial products are not Sharia compliant because Muslim clerics view conventional loans, which involve interest payments, as sinful.

The UK Government was one of the first Western countries to issue a state-backed sukuk, an Islamic bond. It now wants to rewrite tax laws to stop Muslim businessmen being unfairly taxed when they try to raise money on their companies.

Conventional loans allow them to take equity out of their business, using the property as collateral, but to be Sharia compliant a Muslim “sells” the business to the bank and then rents it back. That leaves the businessman facing a bill for capital gains tax and the Treasury wants to level the tax playing field.

Mohammed Amin, head of Islamic finance at PricewaterhouseCoopers, said: “The UK has become the leading Western country in Islamic finance by taking a series of measures to ensure that Islamic finance is taxed no worse and no better than conventional finance.

“The pre-Budget report continues this progress by including measures to equalise the tax treatment of property refinancing transactions.” Ministers are also considering issuing Government bonds to Islamic banks to help them comply with new financial regulations.

With three independent Islamic banks and high street names at the forefront of compliant accounts, London is one of the world’s largest centres for Islamic finance.

Sharia-compliant mortgages, car insurance and even baby bonds are available for Muslims wanting to avoid “riba” – interest payments.

Supporters say the Government is wisely getting in on the ground floor of a market which could net the City billions in the future.

Critics warn Labour is rushing into a financial system it does not fully understand and question how far laws should be rewritten to accommodate Islamic practices. The Financial Services Authority says its policy is one of “no obstacles, no special favours” for Islamic finance.

Last week’s pre-Budget report includes the revelation that bankers will still net £4.5billion in bonuses this year despite the so-called super-tax on the City.

Ministers also used the cover of the report to admit the Homeowner Mortgage Support Scheme, permitting deferment of interest payments, has been an abject failure.

Shadow Housing Minister Grant Shapps said: “It’s gone the way of many other Brown initiatives. We’ve stumped up for the expensive consultancy bills but the actual scheme has failed to help more than a handful of hard-pressed families.”

A Communities and Local Government spokeswoman said: “The Government has widely publicised that fortunately only 15 families have so far needed the backstop help of the Homeowner Mortgage Support Scheme.”

Muslim Pedophile Rape Gang Arrested in Rotherham

The despicable muslim Rape Jihad continues in Britain.  Once again young, vulnerable white British girls are plundered like war booty by muslim men. For that is just what this girls are = war booty = as muslims continue their invasion and colonisation of Great Britain bringing with them their contempt for the Western world and it's indigenous people, culture and customs - particularly women and girls.

The government and social policies of multiculturalism and appeasement have given muslims a sense of entitlement to all things British - from sponging off taxpayer paid benefits to establishing no-go areas for white British to the rampant raping and beating of British women and children. Meanwhile the police and courts continue to coddle muslims whilst the media keeps muslim criminals identities frequently out of the front pages of national newspapers. Search for muslim rape or rape jihad in the blogosphere - and the truth about muslim crime quickly becomes glaringly evident.

I (and many other bloggers) have written extensively about the muslim rape of British women and children - and yes - even men.

A small sampling:

THE MUSLIM RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE OF BRITISH GIRLS

WORSE than a "pack of animals" - 3 Muslim Men Jailed for Rape of 16 yr old British girl

Muslim Millionaire Pedophiles Buying British Little Girls for Sex

MUSLIM MEN RAPE FOUR BRITISH SCHOOLGIRLS AT AMUSEMENT PARK

MUSLIM PEDOPHILES RAPE UK TAXPAYERS

Once again:

Whilst dhimmi judges act the role of apologists for muslim criminals

MUSLIM MEN ARE RAPING OUR WOMEN AND CHILDREN 

Whilst dhimmi police play hijab dress-up and coddle muslims

MUSLIM MEN ARE RAPING OUR WOMEN AND CHILDREN

Whilst politicians are cajoling and paying for muslim votes

MUSLIM MEN ARE RAPING OUR WOMEN AND CHILDREN

Whilst the media continues to hide muslim crime/criminals (see below)

MUSLIM MEN ARE RAPING OUR WOMEN AND CHILDREN

Whilst church leaders embrace the muslim invasion and exploitation of the British people

MUSLIM MEN ARE RAPING OUR WOMEN AND CHILDREN

Obviously the feckless British police - as shown by their persistent refusal to publicly condemn & swiftly deal with such actions, are happy to continue to keep quiet about (gangs of) muslim pedophile's exploitation and rape of young girls - under the guise of "community cohesiveness".

The media are also consistently to blame as this current story - below - is allowed to remain (hidden) local news rather than national. I addressed this national cover-up of muslim rapes in my blog British women pay high price for multiculturalism.

It is time for this insanity to STOP and for the British people to protect their own as clearly they cannot rely upon the 'powers that be' to do so for them.

Colorado Sheriff's Joke Causes Muslim Woman's 'hurt feelings'

Some quick comments:

Oh here we go again - a poor muslim suffering from hurt feelings - oh the inhumanity of it all!!!!!  Now a voluntary Christmas tree trimming party is "politically incorrect" and Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden's joke has caused hurt feelings to a muslim woman who chooses to remain unnamed!

You know what I think is politically incorrect? - having people come into or live in the USA (or Great Britain or any other Christian nation) and tell us our Judeo/Christian traditions are 'politically incorrect' then go on to force our public schools and buildings to be rebuilt to accomodate their medieval religion/customs with footbaths, special toilets they can squat on, separate swimming/pool times for boys/men and girls/women, halal meals, and prayer rooms that are quickly turned into mosques thus no other faith can use it - otherwise the room are defiled- etc etc/ 

Then this woman goes on to spout the typical, over-used twaddle:

"We can't let our religion be hijacked by extremists," she said.

Oh really??

Why there are 1.5 BILLION  muslims in the world  including the supposedly small number of extremists - so the extremists are clearly outnumbered by moderate muslims therefore why don't the moderates eradicate those who do not represent them and threaten their countries and people? - those who cause bloodshed and terrorism?  Instead these "mainstream" muslims trot out the above statement (or facsimile) as some kind of shield that protects them from the truth & reality.  Ask a muslim man or woman the above question and don't hold your breath waiting for an answer.

Especially when the true feelings of many muslims is voiced again by this unnamed 'volunteer" who also suffers from unverified "threats" (from who??) :

 "an elected official jesting about the killing of Muslims goes beyond politically incorrect."

Surely US Marines helping to eliminate the "muslim extremists" would be welcome by 'moderate' muslims who are angry these 'extremists' are "hyjacking their religion & killing their people". 

But no - they/she view them as one of her own = muslim............

So which one is it?

Hear the doublespeak?

Sheriff's Muslim jokes draw concerns

Article:

A volunteer for the nonprofit Muslims Against Hunger group is not upset Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden plans to hold a Christmas tree-trimming party - an event Alderden proudly calls politically incorrect.

But the woman, a Muslim who lives in Northern Colorado, is concerned about a comment Alderden made while giving a speech at a Marine Corps Ball last month. The sheriff briefly posted a transcript of the speech on his Web site.

In the speech, Alderden joked about bumper stickers and highlighted one which read, "U.S. Marines: Travel agents to Allah."

The speech has been removed from the sheriff's Web site, and he declined to comment about the speech.

9NEWS also asked a dozen former Marines who heard his speech for their thoughts. None of them wanted to be quoted.

The woman, whose name is not being published because she has received threats, said an elected official jesting about the killing of Muslims goes beyond politically incorrect.

"Anytime you put someone down, whether it's for religion or race or anything, it doesn't just hurt the individual, it actually hurts the community where we live, and it's really not time to start doing things like this," she said.

The Muslim-American community contributes much to society, she said, and she also pointed out Muslim-American soldiers have died in the current wars while fighting for the United States.

"We're proud to be in this country," she said.

Cases like that of Nidal Malik Hasan, the man accused of shooting fellow soldiers at Fort Hood, are the exception rather than the rule, she said.

"We can't let our religion be hijacked by extremists," she said.

UK Muslim Benefit Scrounger - Milked over £70,000 in Benefits - spared jail

The below article is another example of the ever increasing and on-going benefit fraud conducted by many recent (and some not so recent-see below) immigrants and asylum seekers (many of whom just so happen to be muslim.  They not only seek the generosity of their new hosts - the British people - but also - these greedy, selfish, lazy people seek to illegally and legally plunder the pockets of those same taxpayers.

The below muslim woman, Leyla Yusuf, knowing and intentionally lied and committed fraud so her greedy paws could latch on to British taxpayer money.  But after her "fiddling the taxpayer for seven years "the judge spared her a prison term because she has children. To give her this pass has less to do with the fact she has children (many men and women service jailtime have children) and much to do with the fact that she is a MUSLIM woman with children - and we all know - based on the plethora of past blogs I have written - that the dhimmified British judges/courts repeatedly give 'a pass' to muslim crooks, rapists, paedophiles, etc.

Another ludicrous example is muslim Afghani Toorpakai Saiedi, 36, and her seven children who receive a staggering £170,000 a year in benefits and who live in luxury in the seven-bedroom home in Acton, West London at a cost - to British taxpayers of £12,458 a month. Designer clothes and brand new cars decorate this family as well as their smug knowledge that "'No one is going to throw us out of this house. We're here to stay.' As infuritating as it is - it appears they are right.  SOURCE

In yesterday's front page news: a muslim Somali family are living in a luxury £1.8million five- story house in central London funded by the taxpayer. Nasra Warsame, 40, has lived with seven of her children and her elderly mother in the six-bedroom house since October. Westminster council pays the £1,600-a-week rent for the former asylum seeker.... The fully-furnished house, within walking distance of the West End, has three sitting rooms and four bathrooms. The main lounge has two leather sofas, a flat-screen television and a glass coffee table. Annual rent for the house would cost £83,200.  Meanwhile, Mrs Warsame's husband Bashir Aden, 50, and another of their children are living in a separate property in nearby Camden. Yes, TWO homes and living in the lap of luxury - with no bother to work - but plenty of time to continue to have additional children- courtesy of the working British. - And - by the way - this family has been living in the UK since 1991. SOURCE

It is no secret in order for the Labour government to continue fund the lavish benefits on this coddled group of benefit scroungers the government has cut many benefits to the British people - the most recent finds millions of British elderly pensioners in danger of losing thousands of pounds in benefits under Gordon Brown's flagship plan for home care (or lack thereof) for the neediest elderly.

Disgusting!!

£70k benefits cheat had property in Dubai

A MUM who created a false identity to milk over £70,000 from the benefits system has been spared jail.

Leyla Yusuf, 31, of Garthorne Close, Moss Side, posed as a penniless asylum seeker from Somalia in a scam to double the amount she received in state handouts.

In reality, the mother-of-five has Dutch nationality and enjoyed a comfortable lifestyle with property in Dubai.

Yusuf had been fiddling the taxpayer for seven years when she was caught by a sting earlier this year.

Suspicious officials at Manchester council's benefit department set up simultaneous appointments for Leyla Yusuf and her fraudster alter ego, 'Leyla Hassan'.

When the same woman turned up for both appointments the department's suspicions were confirmed and in October Yusuf was arrested.

But when Yusuf appeared at Manchester Crown Court a judge spared her a prison term for the sake of her children – the youngest of whom is just six weeks old.

She was handed a 12-month prison sentence, suspended for two years with supervision, plus 300 hours unpaid work.

Soon after arriving in Britain on a Dutch passport in 2002 with her husband and two of her children, Yusuf invented 'Leyla Hassan'. She gave her persona the same year of birth, telephone numbers, and even some of her own children.

Once she had immigration status under the false name she was able to get a national insurance number and make claims for child benefit, housing, council tax, income support, tax credits and community care grants, while claiming an empty property at Rosebery Street, Moss Side as her address.

Yusuf was sentenced to a 12-month jail sentence suspended for two years after admitting six counts of false accounting and one charge of failing to declare.

A further four counts relating to an extra £30,000 she fiddled by claiming she was living apart from her taxi driver husband were left to lie on file.

Sentencing, Judge Anthony Hammond said Yusuf had perpetrated a 'cynical milking of the system' which was 'well-executed to say the least'.

Ian Birch, defending, said that Yusuf had paid £1,500 to a 'Somali lawyer' who told her she could not claim benefits as a Dutch citizen and advised her to create another identity.

On hearing this His Hon. Judge Hammond said: "There are one or two dubious practitioners in that area making an awful lot of money from legal aid."

Yusuf is currently making repayments to Manchester City Council and it is understood that Department of Work and Pensions investigators may try to recoup some of the cash by going after her property in Dubai.

Passing sentence, His Hon. Judge Hammond said: "You have defrauded this country of over £70,000 by a deliberate and cynical manipulation of the benefits system 'you richly deserve to go to prison and your husband is lucky he's not in the dock with you.'

He added: "As it is you have five children, the youngest of them is only six weeks of age and the next youngest is two years of age. Were I to be sending you to prison it's going to be very difficult for someone to look after the two-year-old, the youngest child would go with you into the prison."
