Thread Name: BS: Islamic radicalism . . .
Subject: RE: BS: Islamic radicalism . . .
Without denigrating the issue, I do recall CST being criticised for not verifying data by ONS when they highlighted an anti Semitic property attack which, it turned out, was a vandalism attack affecting a number of properties at random on a street in North London. The house owned by a Jewish couple had been included in the statistics. (ONS annual report circa 2002 ish.)

There is no public indifference to anti semitism but a hell of a lot of indifference to Islamaphobia. Anti semitism is normally carried out by disaffected thugs led by right wing bigots feeding them hatred, whereas Islamaphobia is fed to them by a media looking for stories and an ignorant older generation brought up on accepted casual racism.

We even have one member on here who says that Bernard Manning was a good comedian and made him laugh..
