Women are treated like slaves and animals in some countries. But lets all pretend its not happening. Im just surprised Trump the bogeyman has not been blamed. Just whatever you do don't say his name 3 times.... Trump, Trump, Trump....

Another story that won't see much coverage - https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2...e-sex-mob-story

A nutter in a small Spanish town tries to rob a shop and shouts incoherently in Basque, and the national media pick up the story, add a suicide vest for effect, and have him shouting in Arabic.

Just to save us all time can you please show us the links to the offending articles? I can (on a rather quick search) only find one reference to the reported phrase (wail, of course). Or, is the Guardian making its own fake news?

This link was in the Guardian article:

https://www.buzzfeed.com/aishagani/story-ab...O4Wl#.yn9WXnN9Z

And if that isn't easy enough, just search Google using: spanish supermarket allahu akbar

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-41...upermarket.html

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/2591800/gunma...-and-gunpowder/

"According to Spain's La Region newspaper, witnesses reported the man shouted "Allahu Akbar" as he entered the shop - but others said they could not be sure what he said.

Police sources told La Region they have since ruled out any political or religious motive for the attack, and also reportedly say they do not believe the gunman intended to kill anyone."

Hardly a right wing rant claiming he was a Muslim terrorist is it?

It depends if you are one to read beyond the headlines or not, but in this instant I think Simon's point is fair.

Are there bad muslims? Yes
Some are nice. Some are bad.
Religion is the key. The majority of western culture hss moved on from believing in gods and angels and the afterlife.
Anyone who believes in this stuff could if you look at it through scientific eyes be declared insane. Or branded a nutter!
