He didn't have to be fired....
Quit, fired...he was definately forced out...
A leading bank executive has been forced to quit after making an insulting remark about Muslims.
Marc Howells, who was one of Barclaycard's leading figures, left his £200,000-a-year job after making the quip during a staff meeting as he discussed quarterly figures.
Colleagues were stunned when he said: "The results were like Muslims - some were good, some were Shi'ite."
Offended members of staff complained to senior bosses about the "wholly inappropriate" comment.
Mr Howells, 42, who worked for Barclaycard's European arm and has a £2?million home in St John's Wood, north-west London, was forced out last month after negotiating an undisclosed pay-off, classed as "redundancy under compromise".

Why is it that when people are fired or chastized for making remarks considered to wrong the story and the remarks are included in news reports around the world??
Wouldn't you want to keep it low key??
I suppose I'm guilty of the same crime as the poor Barclay guy as I sometimes draw out the word shit so that it sounds different from what it should. Am I at risk of offending a particular group and being taken to the Human Rights Commission?

The Islamic Republik of Britain will not tolerate any real or percieved insults to the faith that guides all their public policy decisions.
Britons marched in the streets of London demanding beheadings and death to those who mock their religion - tolerance of diversity is for the weak, Britons will kill to defend their faith.
