    Is there a word for looking through the wrong end of the telescope? Even the Telegraph is infected.
    “Mustafa, a resident in Boston told Ruth Sherlock that he and his wife don’t feel “comfortable” walking down the street: “We where(sic) in a shop yesterday buying plants and you could tell people were looking at us,” he said. “They didn’t feel safe because we were there.””
    That’s Boston, Mass. If it had been Boston, Lincolnshire no doubt Tell MoreLies would have classed it as an anti-muslim attack.

    “The fear of being Muslim in North America”
    By Jessica Lussenhop, it is always a sympathetic, understanding ,female.
    This one recently hired by the BBC, and it is easy to see why.

    With other BBC articles about the loveable black thug Michael Brown.
    “Ferguson: The other young black lives laid to rest in Michael Brown’s cemetery”
    “Ferguson silence on Michael Brown’s shooting anniversary”

    Here is another example of her homework.
    “Girl Scouts reap benefits after donor refuses to support transgender girls”

    And another.
    “Donald Trump: 21 things the Republican believes”

    Standard BBC lefty nonsense from an airhead who still believes everything she was taught at school.

    Back to Muslims in the USA, they are scared, they blame Islamophobes, for the rise in anti-Islamic activity. after the recent terror attacks, to be fair she does use “Terror” unlike the usual BBC neuphemisms.

    But no thought whatsoever passed through her brain about other people feeling fear. Jessica 27401 Muslim terror attacks recorded in the ROP website, attacks on atheists, Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, other Muslims and uncle Tom Cobbley and all.

    Well I am pleased to hear that Muslims are afraid Jessica, and I have no sympathy whatsoever.
    They should be afraid, they have a 1300+ year history of being nasty to everyone who is not a Muslim.
    By nasty I mean killing hundreds of millions of people.
    This group is owed a larger dose of fear and death for their previous activities.
    But Jessica there is no indication in your report that either you of the frit Muzzies are aware or care about it.

    Just another BBC whitewash.

      Great post delenda est – another thought concerning Trump’s suggestion for the temporary exclusion of Muslims entering the U.S.: hasn’t there been a permanent exclusion of non-Muslims from Mecca and Medina?
      When has there ever been any outrage by Al Beebus about that? If they despise the exclusion of people from a place on the grounds of their religion, then it should apply everywhere, shouldn’t it?

        Yes indeed. I would like to visit Mecca, take in a couple of muslim shrines, pose for a few photos there, and I would expect to be served with bacon sandwiches, just as muslims demand halal meat here in the UK, otherwise my human rights would be breached.

    As ever the Fascist left have created a reality as they want it to be, and not how it is, nor what was said. Even people on here have been deceived by the left wing media as they seek to demonise and not to understand & criticise.

    Here’s what Trump did say:

    Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump called Monday for “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.”

    “Without looking at the various polling data, it is obvious to anybody the hatred is beyond comprehension,” Trump said in the statement. “Where this hatred comes from and why we will have to determine. Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life. If I win the election for President, we are going to Make America Great Again.”

    So his criticism is of the countries leaders who he claims have no understanding of what the problem is nor what is going on. His argument is that they should be kept out until they do, which when put that way is much more reasonable.

    Worse though despite him being vilified he is not the only Republican runner to propose this, although from the media reaction you might expect he is:

    Trump is not the first GOP candidate to suggest restricting Muslim immigration, though he is certainly the first to call for a “complete shutdown.” Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, a frequent sparring partner of Trump’s, called for restricted immigration, including a denial of visas and refugee status, from 34 mostly Muslim countries, including Mali, Turkey and Morocco. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz have suggested only allowing in Christian refugees from Syria.

    Conveniently omitted from most media reporting.

    Of course the BBC is having a field day, and today brought in a Muslim MP to comment on the suggestion that Police are afraid to patrol several Muslim areas in Britain (you bet they are!). Betcha can’t guess which hotbed of Islamic radicalisation and piety they thought was representative of that description? No? Well they produced Tulip Siddiq, MP for Hampstead & Kilburn – probably the constituency MP for more BBC presenters than any other ! and a million miles away from any of the shit they’ve been promoting as good !

    Bias? It runs in our veins !
