From the (London) Daily Telegraph:

Al-Jazeera chief “fired for being white Christian” A television executive has demanded more than £1 million ($2m.) in compensation from the Arabic station al-Jazeera claiming that she was fired because she was not a Muslim. Jo Burgin, 49, the former head of planning for the English language service of the news channel . . . claimed that she was dismissed in April 2007 because she was a “white, Christian, British woman.” . . . Mrs. Burgin, from Derbyshire, was based at the channel’s offices in Doha, Qatar but is suing it for sex, race and religious discrimination at Central London Employment Tribunal. As she launched her claim, it was revealed that she is seeking more than £1 million in damages – mainly for loss of earnings. . . . Al-Jazeera denies all Mrs. Burgin’s allegations and is vigorously contesting her case.
