This is awful. Who the F does this to a mother and baby... things like this make my blood boil.

However, this type of stuff happens to people from ALL faiths... When I used to work in Bradford, most of the people I worked had some truly disgusting things said to them by Muslims, because they worked in a Christian school. I had some things said to me because of my skin colour and there was even a teacher approached with a gun (which she soon found out was a BB gun and unloaded, but still)

It upsets me so much that people think they can target people because they are different to them. It really does make me so angry.

And yeah, whilst a small percentage of Muslims from the UK do join ISIS (and this is steadily rising...), it makes me angry that people think they can use that as an excuse for being absolute twats....
