A Barclaycard executive has been forced to quit after making an insulting remark about Muslims.
Marc Howells, one of the company's leading figures, left his £200,000-a-year job following the tasteless quip during a staff meeting as he discussed quarterly figures.
Colleagues were stunned when he said: "The results were like Muslims - some were good, some were Shi'ite."
Offended members of staff complained to senior bosses about the "wholly inappropriate" comment.

Wow a comment like that made him lose his job? Subhanallah.

I don't think the joke is really offensive at all, its really just a play on words.
