JihadTV Sued By Useful Idiot

Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 8:55:56 am PDT

Al Jazeera, the terrorist’s favorite news channel, is being sued by one of the Western idiots who accepted their money, but now says they’re biased against Christians and women.

I wonder what tipped her off?

A British woman who worked as a television executive at Al-Jazeera has taken the Arab news channel to court, alleging religious and sex discrimination on the job.

Josephine Burgin, 49, is appearing before an employment tribunal in London this week. She claimed in testimony on Tuesday that she suffered discrimination as a woman and a Christian at the broadcaster’s English-language service, where she worked for two years as head of planning.

Hit the tip jar!

Good morning y'all.

It took her 2 years to get hit by the "Clue Bat" - must be thick as a plank.

Maybe she was not down with the whole crypto-jihadi deal.

Honorary Yooper Wed, Sep 10, 2008 8:58:45am

Well, let's follow this and see where it goes. Who knows, maybe the hypocrisy, rascism, anti-Christian bigotry, anti-Jewish bigorty, and sexism of al-Jazeera and Islam may become a part of court record out of all this.

It could set precident.

Yoop -

Probably no precedent - in the US CAIR has a history of settling or dropping suits when DISCOVERY starts.

And imagine how "lite" her Christianity is, yet it still was too much for them and it was surpressed.

I wonder if she also realized they're not too keen on gays or free speech. To name a couple.

Doesn't it just suck when you sign up for a good ole time of US and Israel bashing and it comes back to bite you in the ass when you discover that they also hate YOU.

great, finally someone using the british laws AGAINST the jihadis.
it works both ways, you bums.

If irony were silver, this would be Potosi. You could fill galleons with it and fund the Hapsburgs for decades.

Actually, the segment is trying to make criticism of Al J. look ridiculous, and does it's best to demean U.S. viewers of news.

Bad dhimmi! Bad, bad, bad!

Doesn't she know she was supposed to see how superior the RoP is and submit? *snark*

kynna Wed, Sep 10, 2008 9:31:39am

*snort*

You're only mad because they did it to you. When it was others it was just their 'culture'.

Welcome to their 'traditions', baby.

We'll see what happens to this case in England. I predict the lady is convinced to drop it.

Ziggy Wed, Sep 10, 2008 9:57:56am

Your Honor, she had it coming to her.

Colin Nelson Wed, Sep 10, 2008 9:59:21am

Guess she finally put her burka (or whatever the complete head and face covering is called) on properly - with the eye holes in the front.

gander Wed, Sep 10, 2008 10:48:15am

The discrimination that Ms. Burgin suffered was a response to the mistreatment of the Palestinian people at the hands of the Zionist oppressor.

redc1c4 Wed, Sep 10, 2008 11:03:57am

she's going to be double plus unhappy when the judge awards them damages due to her 'racist' suit.

no / at all

Eowyn2 Wed, Sep 10, 2008 11:06:14am

I should get a job with Aj and then sue their asses when they refuse to speak directly to me.
that would set me up for life.

maybe she is a smart woman after all.
plus a book deal in the future?

Talking Stick Wed, Sep 10, 2008 11:23:17am

this lady has got to be more than than a proscribed zepher in free fall. She must really be seeking truth in an "eldorado moment"

MoonbatBane Wed, Sep 10, 2008 11:52:02am

I would award $1B in damages, reduced to $0.01 for abject stupidity, and then increased back to $10,000 so she could seek counseling for whatever mental impairment prevented her from comprehending reality for the previous two years...

Sol Roth Wed, Sep 10, 2008 11:52:17am

A cockroach gets denied access to death and decay then uses the Western system that Al-Jizz tries to destroy to seek redress.

Typical Collectivist: one system for me, but not for thee.

paybacktime Wed, Sep 10, 2008 12:07:26pm

She's suing al-jizza?

I see a fatwa issued against her shortly.

Why is she going to a Western court?

Shouldn't she bring her case to a Muslim court?

Does she believe that she'll get a better chance of winning in a Western court?

markie Wed, Sep 10, 2008 12:09:33pm

Can you say "thick-headed"? Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

FightingBack Wed, Sep 10, 2008 12:23:25pm

Too bad. There's nobody left to to fight for her. LOL.

Ward Cleaver Wed, Sep 10, 2008 12:46:20pm

Head-chopping? Okay.

Honor killing? Okay.

Blowing up infidels? Okay.

Employment discrimination? Not okay.

A Kiwi Infidel Wed, Sep 10, 2008 1:32:54pm

36 comments, 37 after mine, is it any wonder. What a stupid naive "Christian" woman, lining up as a paid lacky for the servants of ba'al and expecting fair treatment under western employment law.

100,000 lizards shake their heads, sigh and move onto next thread.

Oh please do just shut the heck up, Josephine. What did you expect?

Color me SHOCKED! GASP!

Noooooooooo. Not al-jazeera! I mean- where would they get an idea like that?

Thankfully Charles declined to work for Al jihad TV.

Unfortunately, others in the military blogsphere have decided to work for them. That would include some person(s) at Blackfive and other milblogs.

Burgin sounds like another English dumb ass, who sucked up to political Islam, and got sick of the flavor. Too bad. Tough tooky. and Piss Off Burgin. You lay down with dirty dogs and get up with fleas.

A reminder-The UK is not only the nation that produced Churchill, Thatcher, and Queen Victoria. It also produced Neville Chamberlain, Oswald Mosely, and Jack the Ripper.

True, but I do hope she cleans their clock in this lawsuit however unlikely that is.
