A step in the right direction

I read in the guardian about a couple of Muslim sisters who died in the attacks. Part of a Muslim family.

Curious, I checked the Mail website and they gave it quite a bit of coverage too. Nothing to do with the glamorous one of course, enabling them to use a sexy picture. Interestingly the family was described as Tunisian. Not a mention of being Muslim.

This is perhaps what we are up against. It's too uncomfortable for the paper so they don't inform their readers that Muslims suffered too.

However, I did notice a video posted of a Muslim being anti ISIS and, more importantly, a news item about the Muslim Council of Britain taking out a newspaper ad condemning the attacks saying that "Islam forbids terrorism."

This is good. Perhaps the Mail should have offered to carry the ad for free. According to the report the ad is in the Telegraph. I don't really see it doing much good there. It needs to be in the Sun. Telegraph readers may well be on the right, politically, but they won't be unaware that the Council repeatedly makes such statements.

It's the ordinary bloke in the street who needs convincing. An ad in The Sun would have been a better start.
