UK: Airport supervisor suspended for offending Muslims by hanging picture of Jesus

Dhimmi Britannia Update: "Airport supervisor suspended for hanging picture of Jesus on staffroom wall," from the Daily Mail (thanks to Doctor Bulldog):

A senior airport supervisor was suspended from his job after he hung a picture of Jesus on a staffroom wall.

Gareth Langmead was escorted from Manchester Airport and suspended from his job after a Muslim colleague complained about the image.

The supervisor found the picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus - the subject of devotion by many Catholics - in a desk draw while cleaning out an office, and hung it on the wall

Mr Langmead, a 40-year-old Catholic, decided not to throw the picture away but to put it on the wall of the staffroom.

But just days later the team leader in the car parks department at the airport was escorted off the site and suspended from his job....
