Whatever else it may be, the Daily Mail is certainly the most absurd paper in Britain. It generally has the best coverage in Britain of jihad activity and Islamic supremacism, and is a often refreshing antidote to the dreary dhimmitude and pro-Sharia cheerleading of the BBC and the Guardian. But it cheapens its coverage with sensationalism and cheesecake, and even worse, eagerly bowed to violent intimidation and Sharia blasphemy laws after the jihad attack on our free speech event in Garland, Texas. It also frequently manifests an inexplicable hostility to the very people who are leading the resistance to the jihad that it so comprehensively documents — a hostility that demonstrates that dhimmis, collaborators and Useful Idiots are as much in evidence at the Daily Mail as at the other UK papers. And here they go again, falsifying a three-year-old news story and quoting Fiyaz Mughal, a discredited Islamic supremacist liar, to support their claim that “Islamophobia” (a term designed to intimidate people into thinking it wrong to oppose jihad terror) is rising in Britain.
“Daily Mail, Indy Report ‘Motiveless’ 2012 Attack As Evidence Of Rising Islamophobia… in 2015,” by Liam Deacon, Breitbart, September 8, 2015:
Yesterday, as the mainstream media chose to focus the claim that “Islamophobic” attacks were up 70 per cent in London – whilst largely ignoring that anti-Semitic attacks had increased by more than 93 per cent. Both the Independent and Daily Mail chose to “demonstrate” the phenomenon by republishing an “example” of such Islamophobia which occurred in Newham, London.
“Teenager wearing hijab knocked unconscious demonstrates rise in hate crime in London,” was the headline in the Independent. The Mail lead with “Shocking moment hijab-wearing girl is attacked from behind and knocked to the floor unconscious as police reveal huge rise in hate crimes against Muslims,” before telling us the “assault is an example of the Islamophobic attacks.”
Except the shocking and brutal attack cited happened three years before the release of the recent figures, in 2012, and had nothing to do with race, religion, or “Islamophobia,” as the Mail itself reported at length.
The attack – perpetrated by a Nigerian male on an Asian female – was found by a court to be “motiveless.” Passing sentence at Inner London Crown Court, Judge Roger Chapple said the Michael Ayoade, of Plaistow, had launched “vicious, unprovoked attacks on young, lone females”.
The prosecution said that the girl had, “made (him) feel like a pauper with her facial gestures” and had “looked at him in a rude way,” such that he could not go through the day having taken “an insult from a little person like that.”
Racial and/or religious hatred was never mentioned. The Mail certainly knew this, as they had reported on the court case, and the Indy would need to have been exceptionally negligent or lazy not to have at least googled the case.
So why would the Mail and Independent need to drag up an old story and misrepresent it to “demonstrate” to the British people how bigoted we all are?
Its just a guess, but it’s quite likely that both publications were struggling to actually find a documented and sufficiently sensationalist “example,” because they are in fact so rare in this tolerant and welcoming nation.
As Breitbart London’s Editor-in-Chief pointed out yesterday; “the increase in anti-Semitic attacks is steeper than the increase in Islamophobia. Both, however, are a minute percentage of the total 13,007 hate crimes reported in the last year.”
Furthermore, the deceitful Daily Mail article quotes one Fiyaz Mughal, the founder of Tell MAMA, an organisation which encourages the reporting of perceived hate crime and “records and measures anti-Muslim incidents.”
Mr. Mughal’s charity was stripped of state funding last year after it was found to have “exaggerated” what Mughal described as an “unprecedented” “wave of attacks,” “Islamophobic incidents” and “cycle of violence,” following the murder of Lee Rigby – 57 per cent of the “attacks,” however, were merely comments left online.

ECAW says
The Mail is totally unprincipled about all this. It will happily print this story, the one about the attack on Mr and Mrs Blug, omitting the fact that the attackers were of N. African appearance, and hype up the boy drowned off Turkey. They will also fill up a few slots with sensationalist stories about ISIS, rape gangs and Trojan Horses while carefully avoiding naming the evil.
In fact I have found their “moderation” to be more stringent than al-Graun. At least the Graun didn’t threaten to track down my server and take legal action if I ever darkened their door again.

”In fact I have found their “moderation” to be more stringent than al-Graun. At least the Graun didn’t threaten to track down my server and take legal action if I ever darkened their door again.”
Being a computer luddite, I haven’t a clue as to your reference to your ‘server’, but I can resonate with your comment about their ‘moderation’.
I tried several times to post, with quotes from the koran/hadith/sunnah. No-one told me I was banned, they just simplified matters and didn’t post my comments. Oh brave new world, that has such people in it.
Angemon says
They are a tabloid.
Maily Dail says
Indeed, the Daily Mail prints anything that sells newspapers and generates clicks to their website.

The same Fiyaz Mughal who tried unsuccessfully, at the taxpayers expense to sue a member of Liberty GB who had called him “…a mendacious, grievance-mongering, taqquiya artist” after he falsified figures claiming a huge rise in so called “islamophobic attacks” in the wake of Lee Rigby’s horrendous murder. The judge ruled in favour of the defendant thus verifying that Fiyaz Mughal and his propoganda machine “Tell Mamma” are indeed “mendacious, grievance-mongering taqquiya artists”
As for Islamophobia the greatest exponents of this are the people who call themselves “moderate” Muslims for the simple reason they are scared shitless of Islam, their Imams, their Muftis et al and indeed of Sharia (diarrhea).Law and don’t have the balls to resist such mindless twaddle as fed them from the koran, ahadith, sira etc. by the self proclaimed “clerics” who are equally mindless.
Islamophobe I am not! I fear no Muslim or Islam and will fight it to the end.
Marty says
The Mail can be a decent read in parts.
Sadly, rather than being Right Wing or conservative, it is
always pro the Tory Party, who are only nominally conservative.
The best Tory politicians (about one in ten) know the threat from
islam.
Sadly this non story suggests that Cameron wants us
to believe that the oxymoronic non ailment called
“islamophobia” exists, as a prelude to admitting more
mohammedans & cracking down on people who want to
preserve the UK from disaster.
jayell says
I mentioned this story on this website a day or so back. People ought to read the online comments following this publication. A lot of people weren’t at all fooled & recognised the story from 3 years ago. There’s a big media softening-up campaign going on ahead of the arrival of Syrian refugees – it’s pretty obvious that no-one wants them here in the UK (we’ve had enough with all the illegals getting across via Calais, and the stories of appalling behaviour from ‘down-trodden, starving’ refugees in Hungary is turning more and more people against them). A lot of local papers around London are reporting an upsurge in ‘islamophobic’ crime in recent months, and a special Police unit has been set up – but NOT, you notice, for all the appalling anti-semitic outrages that have been rising for a lot longer! Now what is going on here, I wonder?
Celtic Sword says
She was attacked by a Nigerian Immigrant, and his motive was predatory, nothing to do with Islam. If they need a 3 year incident to engender guilt from the British, then they have failed miserably.
Lia Wissing says
Nobody’s said yet (or I skimmed too quickly): was the Nigerian muslim?

This is the Daily Mail quoting the previous nights BBC show

I suspect that the Mail is, for reasons of its own which I cannot fathom, attempting to raise sympathy for muslims. It has spent the last couple of weeks trying to do exactly that in relation to the swarms (I use the word deliberately) of mainly muslims who are currently invading Europe.
The Mail is, unusually, joining forces with the BBC and describing those invading Greece and then, via Macedonia, Hungary as “desperate” and “fleeing ISIS”. The drowning of the two young kids is tragic but they are not the first and in fact their father was to blame. He, like all of those migrants, left a safe country, Turkey, so he was fleeing nothing. He had lived there for 3 years and even had a job as a barber – all rarely reported. He was so scared of ISIS that he returned to Kobane to bury his family this week. Someone “fleeing” wouldn’t do that.
The swarms of course are happy to break laws, damage property, and attack police in their quest to impose their choice of destination. Late reports last night (Wednesday) said that chants of Allahu Akbhar were being heard in Hungary, and in Lesbos and Kos.
For the time being the even more lawless residents of “The Jungle” in Calais are being forgotten. Even there though most of the Mail articles, like ALL broadcast pieces, totally believe what the migrants claim and are riddled with sympathy and the word “desperate” and “fleeing”. “Lying” and “criminal” are usually missed off. The few politicians who warn against what is happening are thoroughly mauled by their own and by the media.
This week a Tory MP noted that he couldn’t get his hair cut because his barber had just gone on holiday to the very country from which he had “fled in fear” – this is a very common issue. Once residency (and a temporary passport) is granted then all fear of the oppressors is magically lifted. The Mail seems immune to that.
Ged Dodd says
Islamophobia is an irrational fear of Islam.
A fear of Islamic barbarism is a perfectly rational fear by any sane person.
Islam is a danger to the whole of humanity ,, including muslims.
Steven says
Nothing to do with so-called Islamophobic
Steven says
This attack is nothing to do with so-called Islamophobic….. like islamic state is nothing to do with so-called islam because president obama said so.
