I really hope the staff at the Daily Mail appreciated the irony of their front page today. For those who haven’t seen it, the screaming headline is “Kill her! Kill her!” A very Mail sentiment, but instead of heading an article about a single mother, a female immigrant or a Labour cabinet member, this was the *bad* sort of mindless bigotry.
You see, this is a reference to the demonstrations yesterday against the leniency of the sentence passed on that British teacher who called the teddy bear Mohammed. Apparently the protesters were a representative sample of the Muslim world, much as a football crowd singing “You’re going to get your fucking heads kicked in” is a complete representation of every aspect of British life and culture.
And it turns out that these Muslims are all evil and can’t be trusted. Which is a shame, as you’d have thought the demonstrators at least would be a pretty good demographic for the Daily Hate.
