Dilpazier Aslam, fired from The Guardian for refusing to give up membership in Islamic supremacist group Hizb ut-Tahrir, may sue: ‘Guardian’ trainee may sue over sacking. (Hat tip: Amy.)

A trainee journalist at The Guardian newspaper is considering legal action after being sacked for refusing to give up membership of a radical Muslim organisation, first revealed in The Independent on Sunday.

Dilpazier Aslam, 27, was sacked on Friday after refusing to give up membership of Hizb ut-Tahrir. The organisation is banned in Germany and elsewhere. Although Hizb ut-Tahrir is non-violent and legal in this country, The Guardian said it considered the organisation to be anti-Semitic.

Insert appropriate joke about pots and kettles here.
