Islamophobic? Muslim 'forced off from a London underground train after commuter complains he used iPad suspiciously'

A muslim was allegedly told to leave the London tube after a fellow passenger said he was using his iPad "suspiciously".

The drama unfolded on a Piccadilly line train after the man turned off his tablet just as a nervous commuter turned to look at it.

Onlookers tried to defend the accused and called the commuter a racist. But he is said to have carried on with his complaint.

The embarrassed Muslim passenger left the train near Finsbury Park. One witness from Wood Green, told the Evening Standard that he felt 'sad and angry' by what he witnessed.

He said: "There was a guy stood up, dressed smartly with a man bag.
"He wasn't being overtly aggressive but he had clearly taken offence to something another passenger had done.

"I saw people reacting so I took my headphones off and realised he was asking someone who looked Arabic to get off the train amongst other things because he felt threatened by him.

"Apparently he had turned off his iPad as the smartly dressed man had looked at it, this was deemed to be 'suspicious' in his eyes."

Can it get any worst than this? What do we call this?

Horrible and pathetic!!!!
