Things are going to kick off big with the right-wingers now. Conservatives are going to run a snap election and get another majority off of the back of the fear. When they said the name I said "F*** not a muslim". I'm friends with loads of sound muslims here, Canada is full of them. We've been relatively lucky avoiding a lot of the bad eggs who use their faith to justify acts like today. However, we have been close enough to the states and their rhetoric for this to very easily lead to the development of some scary anti-muslim stuff here. To anyone who wants to have a go at me over this view, it's because I just don't want my mates to get hassled over the acts of a madman.

A recent convert apparently, having been born in Quebec as Michael Joseph Hall and with a prior history of drug trafficking and robbery (though that info is from the Daily Mail, so its probably wrong).

This with bells on. My biggest hate in modern society is 24 hour news coverage. Who needs Sky News presenters sensationalizing every little detail in every little case trying to whip up mass hysteria amongst any Muppet that is prepared to listen to them. If people continually watch these channels, i am surprised they dare step foot outside without fear of Paedophiles/abusers/serial killers/terrorists (delete as appropriate to the days new story) getting them. Not to mention Kay Burleys mug staring back at you for so long....Jesus Christ!
