I find it idealistic, naïve and downright hypocritical that many are quick to question the establishment but refuse to question religious ideology and oppressive practice in their own countries - basically because it isn't fashionable, PC. They defend the undefendable in their blind attempts to lay all blame at the establishment and their misguided attempts at 'justice'. Western governments cannot compare/compete with religion when it comes to oppression and dictatorships.
I believe everyone should be held accountable for their actions whatever race, religion or nationality and PC should never get in the way of that. I too have complete and utter pity for anyone who doesn't think religious ideology and relating oppressive practice should be questioned and people indulging in such practices in this country held accountable. Since when did being a minority put someone above the laws and beliefs of a country. The same rules should apply to all and people shouldn't fear challenging behaviours because the culprits happen to be a minority group within that country.
Idealism and tunnel vision go hand in hand.

The media DO tend to create scapegoats because it's easy to get people who want their prejudices validated to buy into it. Newspapers like ongoing narratives since it's easy to report on new developments and they'll get a strong response. The good example of this is the Andrew Sachs mess that happened a few years back, it wasn't actually a story until the Daily Mail reported on it and encouraged people to complain then they spent weeks ****ting out 'follow up' stories which the public ate up.
Why go out and actually investigate a story when you can control the narrative and write 500 words on the latest statements and developments about the narrative on social media?
Everything that Jack stated were based on factual evidence so there's no conspiracy theorising there either unless you're simply denying truths you disagree with.
I also find this 'You can't complain about corrupt governments when there's muslims running about!' suggestion you made to be incredibly foolish. I care more about the government stripping away funding for public services so they can privatise everything than having an irrational hatred of muslims. All religions have fundamentalists, moderates and everything in between, I'd rather focus on what the government is doing than worry about Raheela next door's choice to wear a hijab.
Everything else in your post is just the typical meaningless 'PC BLAH BLAH, YOUNG PEOPLE ARE NAIVE!' bull****.
