Quoting AEnigma III: In that case, please don't jump onto the gutter press "anti muslim" bandwagon.
To put this story in context.
(1) The police officer did NOT ASK to be excused from guarding the Israeli Embassy.
To be precise, he made his superiors aware of certain personal factors. His superiors then did a risk assessment and took the decision accordingly.
(2) He had already been working at the embassy for some time before he made the request, which was solely based on increasing tension and media attention at the embassy.
(3) This is not about moral objection but simply protecting one's family. This man has family in the Lebanon and Syria who were receiving televised news from outside the embassy. |
Oh well that makes perfect sense now. Does this mean we don't have anything to argue about? DARN!!

Quoting Trudy: This is good information, the anchorman (correct?) of the program they show on YouTube gives me the idea of a refusing officer for whom the government changed rules. |
So did the UK tabloid press Trudy, which is one of the reasons I don't read them. The broadsheet papers told the FACTS...

Thanks for sharing your insight Aenigma 
I agree completely with KeithL on this matter and I think it's sad to see how that propaganda machine is trying to stir up religious conflicts. They are supposed to be a professional news station, how can they not check up on their stories?? Disappointing.
