..just directly to the OP herself, I know how passionately you feel about media slants and potentially 'inciting' etc and I do understand any outrage/passion of feelings about this murder, I really do...but I think there is a danger of people becoming 'alarmist' also in 'kneejerk', which would have a very counter-productive effect and the media would then be manipulating us as well...

Racism has gone up by a massive 69% in the UK since the French incident. I live in central London and the white supremacy marches are running amok. Crime against Muslims, mostly women and children is at a record high and so it was only a matter of time before a racial hate murder was committed.

I'm not sure what you mean about knee-jerk reaction? do you mean to this thread (the first of its kind I believe) ? or all the threads that keep going up about Muslims committing crimes? The only reaction you can have to a thread like this is a sense of sadness and anger towards this man's killers but on that other thread about Muslim rape, I've seen a few very strong knee-jerk reactions towards Muslims not just the rapists.
