Another omission by the UK's mainstream media

When minor trouble at a pro #Palestinian march in October led to 10 or so arrests #DailyExpress newspapers called for 'hate mob' to be banned. When 'nationalists' with the #England flag fought with Police yesterday at a #StGeorgesDay march there is no similar call or coverage.

'What seems on the surface to have been a reasonable request to accommodate an act of spiritual significance required by the Muslim faith, has once more been cast as an issue of security.'

So far the British Media has published 959 articles referencing #GideonFalter & the Metropolitan Police.

Just, ONE of those articles mentions Falter is vice chairman at the Jewish National Fund (JNF UK) described as 'a charity complicit with ethnic cleansing' in Palestine

Excellent journalism and interviewing from Mishal Husain on BBC Radio 4 of the former Home Secretary.

More journalists should challenge the framing of the pro-Palestinian marches as hate marches and infested with antisemitism

#Muslim women abused by a racist in #ROMFORD , told they're 'a cancer on the country' and repeatedly told to go back where they come from in not so polite words

#GBNews reviewers:

'not Islamophobic'

'not racist'

'context is needed'

'I don't know if it's a racist attack'

A real teacher vs an 'anonymous' teacher

'Most are Muslim and a few have lived in Islamic countries'

said an anonymous teacher

One year on the Daily Telegraph rinses and repeats an attack on an Oxford University college for hosting an Eid Dinner to mark the end of Ramadan.

This non-story would not be published about any other faith group in Britain.

According to the New Statesman, preventing a 16 year old from praying on her lunch break is 'tolerance.' Go figure.

Predictably one of the writers cited by HOPE not hate as part of the 'radical right' Daily Telegraph, lists #Muslims as first among those who want to topple the West. And not just some of them, 'the convinced Muslims whether just orthodox, fundamentalist, or genuinely extreme'

Another example of the #Muslims get special treatment trope on #GBNews

'If you are a foreign national, an illegal immigrant, an ISIS bride or a member of the British Muslim community, it seems like you will get what you need.'

Another unverified Israeli claim repeated on British television and found to be false.

Important context by Alistair Bunkall on the #IsraelIranConflict

Excellent journalism from Kay Burley.

#IranIsraelConflict

'we don't know this is a #terrorism related thing, but just put it in the context that there have been tensions. The #Muslim population proportionally is not as great as in Britain, certainly not as in France.'

#GBNews

This is a really important and welcome intervention from Jonathan Lis on TalkTV who says 'the working definition now of terror related in these sorts of settings is an attack committed by a #Muslim person'

'It wasn't a terrorist attack. It wasn't like a Muslim against westerners. It was just a mad deranged person.'

Really important point by Adil Ray OBE on the likely reaction of the British media had the attacker in Australia been a #Muslim

The parents of Sydney attacker Cauchi have been described as “very religious”. Quite rightly their religion is not being questioned and its influence on him. However, I wonder what the subject of certain columns and shows would be tomorrow, had the family happened to be Muslim?
