The main character is a chubby Ricky Gervais type British guy. Bleak, condescending, with a touch of vulnerability so the audience doesn't completely hate him.
So he's doing the typical preachy Ricky Gervais atheism lectures that Gervais shoehorns into everything he does, but instead of pwning the Christian God with facts and logic, he's lecturing a Moslem man who proceeds to blind our protagonist with acid.
The next ten minutes is the Gervais archetype rolling around on the sidewalk, screaming in agony. Just howling and crying through the peroxide bubbles that used to be his eyes, screaming and screaming, until the bobbies show up.
As the protagonist lies in the hospital, the police show up to inform him he's been charged with a hate crime.
