1. What a joke!
Robby ,   San Jose, USA   (10.05.06)
Does he refuse to protect liquor stores too, since Muslims don't drink? If he refuses to do his job then he should be fired.
2. He Doesn't Believe Jews should have Right to SELF DEFENSE
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (10.05.06)
It is objectionable to the Muslim officer that Israel defended herself against vicious, unprovoked acts of war from aggressor, Lebanon. Obviously, the officer cannot be trusted to guard the Israelis and their embassy and must not be assigned to this important position.
3. Wont guard embassy
M ,   Northern California   (10.05.06)
These kind od people are no asset to any country and I wonder why they would even want to be in a free enlightened country that they degrade...Is it the income?..Is it that they are infiltrating countries to try to change them to their debased thinking?..Whatever it is they should be sent home and let them see how well they faire where freedom is stifled..They are just polluters of the worst kind wherever they appear...For sujre I feel sorry for the poor English who through their freedoms and generosity let these asses take over....
4. "poorEnglish"?
barry   (10.05.06)
They deserve what they get - wait until these muslims refuse to fire at terrorists on moral grounds. England is doomed.
5. The start of a pattern?
Mike ,   Atlanta, USA   (10.05.06)
Does anyone know if this officer represents the first Muslim officer assiged to guard the Israeli embassy? Or simply the first Muslim to resign?
6. Canada Cop
(10.05.06)
police offices should stay away from religous and political affairs and stay impartial. this is one of the basic requirements of the job, at least where i work.
7. You're kidding us--this guy supports the terrorists?
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (10.05.06)
Did he protest at the Lebanese Embassy, when their countrymen from Hezbollah, jumped the border and killed innocent Israeli troops? He didn't you say? Maybe he should be fired for being a terrorist supporter then. He obviously isn't supporting the British Government. He's supporting citizens who cross into other countries killing innocent people. His buddies in Lebanon started the war. If he doesn't like the results---he should protest in front of the Lebanese Embassy. They supported, and started the damn war in the first place.
8. Muslim Police
NYC Girl   (10.05.06)
What if the Israeli Embassy had requested that no Muslim police officers be posted there because of a possible "conflict of interests?" You can bet all bloody hell would have broken loose.
9. Deport him to the arab country of his choice.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica,CA USA   (10.05.06)
He can guard any mosque at 10% of his pay and use the squat toilets that have no paper.
10. This guy has no business being a cop - Fire Him
Johnson ,   USA   (10.05.06)
11. Damned if you do and if you don't
Josh   (10.05.06)
I think the decision not to post a Muslim to guard Jews is solid. However it should not be on moral grounds but on the grounds of avoiding conflict of interest. After all can you trust a Muslim to stop a Muslim from killing Jews?...Look at our neighbors and all what thier policing has done for Israel. Pal/Lebanon/Syria
12. COP OUT!
The Truth ,   UK   (10.05.06)
I am wondering if PC Alexander Omar Basha would refuse to guard the Sudanese embassy in London, or is he selective when it comes to who is killing his fellow brothers muslims?
13. Too much hate
Faisal ,   India   (10.05.06)
When this Police officer dont want to guard Israeli embassy in protest of Lebanon bombing . cant he Protest ? When Israel doesnt want Bangladesh and Indonesia to guard borders , just coz they are Muslims and not recoganize israel . Wht if this ISrael Embassy dont want any muslim to guard .. how will people react taht time . Peoples are really sick in here .. no one cant protest against Israel. .. If he resist against occuptation he is terrorists .. and if he say anything against Israel, he is anti semitic and even a jews hater. and if he wants to protest peacefully .. he is against law .. How can any one protest against Israel ? Do any one knows here ... May be by being silent and letting Israelisto kill as many as Palestinians in the name of Tracking terrorists . defending lands which are occupied . there are many unlimited things the world should know abt Israel . world should see all this .
14. Send him home
(10.05.06)
This guy doesn't belong to the police force.
15. real joke
haim ,   mtl canada   (10.05.06)
INDIRA GHANDY WAS ALSO WRONG she had a SIKH bodygard and didnt want the secret service advice to remove him until he killed her she was wrong then and still dead wrong today chana tova
16. Moral Grounds?
Liz ,   Israel   (10.05.06)
Did you say moral grounds? As if he would know what a moral was if it hit him in the face (as we would have said in Lancashire!). A muslim should never be assigned to protect an Israeli institution in the first place. It is a clear conflict of interests - thank god he refused the position - where would we be if he was forced to guard the embassy and then didnt guard it properly or failed to prevent an attack. What the hell is he doing in the diplomatic protection group?? Yet another article, proving, once again, (as if we needed reminding) how stupid the British really are.
17. #13 too much hate
jul ,   masterich   (10.05.06)
Faisal: you are one sided, a MERE product of the muslim propaganda against Jews and Israel. Israeli Jews live in their historical homeland. They are only defending themselves against a ruthless Muslim opressor.
18. licence to kill
george ,   greece   (10.05.06)
isreali is the agent 1948 has a licence to kill, destroy, abduct ,occupy anjd no one earth has the wright to criticise them.
19. The price fto pay for being laxist
Hiram ,   Bergen, Norway   (10.05.06)
The Brits are paying the price for being tolerant. The police in England is a service/force serving the public interest and the government. I guess if the brits tolerate this , pretty soon indeed : Jewish employees of the public health will not attend the needs of Moslem patients Jewish plastic surgeons will not perform lifting on wives of prominent Arab leaders And the local Paki fish and ships will refuse serving Jewish customers ? Typical Islamic agitation ! but what else is new ???

mike ,   t.o.   (10.05.06)
you just did! or it is not enough and you want to through me to the sea?
21. Reply to No 7
UK reporting ,   UK   (10.05.06)
On the contrary, newspaper reports here today are saying that he actually attended anti-war demonstrations (ie anti Israel). Something Police officers are not allowed to do as they are supposed to remain impartial. The radio is full of it here this morning, that and the Ken Livingstone issue - he still refuses to apologise for calling a Jewish newspaper reporter a Nazi.

goerge   (10.05.06)
no i dont want to through you to the sea ,i dont want to put whole sea life on danger because you will say we were here before the fish came.
23. Muslims commit murder and acts of terrorism everyday.
Daisy ,   USA   (10.05.06)
But Israel is judged harshly when they defend themselves from terrorists like Hizzbollah who attacked first.
24. Deport Muslim terrorist-supporters from the West.
Daisy ,   USA   (10.05.06)
Most Muslims who live in the West support terrorism and should be deported NOW!
25. Welcome to Eurabia
Ignacio ,   Zaragoza, Spain   (10.05.06)
You cannot say a word about Muhammad even if you are the Pope, and they can do, say and work wherever they feel like. He does not feel like protecting infidel embassies, but we should not fire him. This article is the very sense of Eurabia. P.S. somebody, please send any passports to get out of this Muslim place!
26. British cop won't guard Israel Embassy
kemp ,   Nahariya, Israel   (10.05.06)
If I was the Israeli Ambassador I would ceratinly not want any British Muslim Policeman guarding either me or my Embassy
27. Very low standards
James McNamara ,   Broken Hill   (10.05.06)
The British police are in serious trouble if this is the standard of thier policemen. And what was he doing at a demonstration anyway if he wasn't on duty. Ken Livingston's, Robert Fiske's and George Galloway 's,Britain is sinking. Good riddance.
28. Policemans behaviour
Tim - Brighton ,   UK   (10.05.06)
This single incident does have more serious implications for British society in general. By the same token whats to stop a Muslim Doctor not treating a Jewish patient and vice verca? A Jewish cabby who wont take a Muslim passenger A Muslim bus driver who wont drive Jewish children? A Muslim MP who wont engage with their Jewish constituents? A Jewish shop that wont serve Muslim customers? A Hindu accountant that wont audit a Muslim companys accounts? Where does it end? We in Britain want answers now from the Met Police Authority and from the Government.

mike ,   t.o.   (10.05.06)
not a bad joke, actually. but you forgot that you are talking about human beings, That is exactly why we need to defend from tou and your uncivilized brethen. otherwise our fate will be like that non-arabs in Sudan
30. ISNT IT IRONIC??
GOD SAVE ,   EUROPE   (10.05.06)
THE MUSLIMS WORLDWIDE SAY TO THE ISRAELIS RETURN FM WHEREST U CAME...BUT DOESNT THAT NOW APPLY TO THEM ALSO..ALL THE MUSLIMS IN GERMANY, FRANCE, , DENMARK, ENGLAND TO NAME A FEW...WHERE DID THEIR PARENTS ORIGINATE FROM - WHY DONT THEY PICK UP AND GO BACK FM WHEREST THEY CAME!.. THIS FREEDOM OF SPEECH SUX..ITS ONE SIDED..THEY GET TO SAY WHAT THEY WANT, EVERYONE ELSE OPENS THEIR MOUTHS AND OFF WITHT THEIR HEADS. THIS IS A SILENT PANDEMIC..WORSE THAN BIRD FLU. IT IS DEADLY AND CREEPING UP ON PEOPLE UNAWARES, BIRTH RATES ARE DOWN IN EUROPE, THE MUSLIMS ARE OVERPOPULATING BEFORE LONG THE PLACE WILL BE OVERUN, THERE WILL NOT BE ANY EUROPE TO SPEAK OF. A JOB IS A JOB, WE ALL GET TO DO THINGS WE HATE, WE EITHER DO THEM OR WE MAKE ALTERNATIVE JOBS CHOICES. COMPARING THE GUARDING OF BORDERS WITH PRO-HIZBALLA MUSLIMS FM MALAYSIA AND OTHER PLACES HAS NO RELEVANCE HERE..FAISALS RESPONSE ALONE SAYS IT ALL..AGAIN HES MIXING RELIGION WITH COMMON SENSE.. PSST BETTER START LEARNING ARABIC, NEVER KNOW WHEN IT MIGHT COME IN HANDY.
