What about The Telegraph, The Times or The Guardian, all of whom have reported on the same stories, albeit in less colourful style, language or eye grabbing headlines? Or is it the case that ANY story that shows muslims in a bad light is by definition "racist" or "rancid" or "scaremongering"? Talk about political correctness gone mad.

Like it or not, it is a FACT that muslims hold some pretty abhorrent beliefs, such as anti-semitism, homophobia and the subordination of women. And what about the draconian and often brutal penalties meted out by Sharia law, usually applied more strictly and unjustly towards females? Are we supposed to remain silent on that for fear of offending muslims? Debates on these issues are squashed by the politically correct brigade who see any criticisms as "racist".

Just because these issues are sensationalised by the red tops does not diminish their authenticity or the seriousness of their consequences. It is almost as if muslims have been elevated to some special status where any criticism of their beliefs and practices are somehow sacrosanct and beyond reproach, yet they are free to criticise, reproach and castigate the beliefs, culture and practices of anyone who is not a muslim with impunity, just as the vote chasing Baroness Warsi has done in this instance.
