Someone told me today I shouldn't go into Mosques any more "because they are killing all the British people".

I'm guessing she got that idea from this article.

We have the power to take this to the press compliants commission, if we can get of our backsides, compile a dossier that this "Journalist" has an unfair balance against muslims....has he ever had a fair & balanced view of islam/muslims?

If we want to do something, then lets do it, find out some history on this guy, who else does he write for etc

glean more information through his writings....after all I only went through a few pages of his writings in the times archives.

The power rests with those who wish to take up the challenge....or we can sit at home and complain that we are being demonised and do absolutely nothing.

So next time a sister is abused, or our masjids are fire bombed, our imams are beaten half to death, we can feel mighty proud of ourselves because when we were being demonised in the press, we just sat around and did nothing apart from talking a good game.

Are these stories Andrew Norfolk reports not true then ? If so,can people not sue for defamation or libel ?

THAT would soon change his ways I bet !.

Does the fact a journalist cover lots of these stories needs to be held against him? Why don't you identify facts that are incorrect?

This guy in UK obviously is the Times reporter on sensationalizing stories against muslims its clear by the headlines.

in uk organisations like http://www.fairuk.org/intro.htm
should be contacted i am sure they can advise on best process to get fair reporting, muslims dont want people banned or reporting banned but the garbage that is being circulated everyday is misleading, exaggerated and leading to hatred and this in turn leads to hate crimes!

Waqar, are the stories true or not ?

Headlines sensationalise ANY story good or bad in every single newspaper story. Its the sub-editor's job to make them grab the eye.

Please demonstrate any of the stories that are misleading or exaggerated.
