The mail's story is not just factual reporting though - it's written in an incredibly biased and leading way, from the opening sentence.  Taking just one point - other than to stir up racial tension further, what reason was there to mention in the article the religious views or ethnicity of the bullies?

I asked if anyone had seen the story from another source. Why is that me being pwnd?  Unlike some, I like to gather as much evidence as possible so I can make an informed decision. unfortunately, the mail and others with a racist/islamaphobic agenda don't seem to bother finding out the facts before they publish their bile.

Of course, the mail is known for its journalistic integrity.

I think your failing to notice the presence of a smiley.

But as your asking, the religion of the bullies is relevant to the story, if you don't think so then meh, I ain't arguing about it.........

LOL. I was asking the relevance of the girl's colour, not the religions the children have been indoctrinated into. Is the mail saying that because she's white she's not a muslim, or suggesting that the boys weren't white?  That was my point.

I'm perfectly chilled. The topics on this thread are fairly serious though and you don't have to read or comment on here. Go and read the daily mail instead if you want.

ok let me rephrase - cyber bullying is a massive problem today.  bullying in schools has always been an issue, now there's a new platform for it. we saw issues with the son of a poster on blonde a year or two back, and a young family member of mine has also experienced similar problems.  I'd also imagine there are many more cases where the problem has gone beyond threats.  None of those thousands of cases are of any interest to the national press.  if these threats had been made by white, christian pupils, we'd have heard nothing about it.  So, the reason the kids' religion was mentioned was because, without it, it'd be a story not deemed worthy to be reproduced in the mass media, but for the likes of daily mail it's a great opportunity to stoke the prejudiced views of much of their readership, in the hope that they'll pass it on and say something like 'look how young they're starting now', middle britain will be up in arms, and we can kick off the whole anti immigration thing again.

I'm not saying these kind of cases shouldn't be highlighted, but let's have some balance, and let's make it an anti-bullying issue rather than a religious/race issue.

Possibly, I think your just nitpicking way beyond the majority of the population tbh. I have to deal with careful and precise wording everyday of my life with my job, I just don't care too much about the wording of a random newspaper. I would read that and think nothing of it tbh, as would 98% of the population. If I start analysing the wording if everything I read, I wouldn't have time for anything else.........

[Woodsey]

Ok peace out, you guys are getting way too analytical and serious for me for 9pm on a Weds night while I'm having a glass of wine. I was only trying to needle boshi a bit with my first post tonight......

maybe that's symptomatic of a bigger problem then.

I'm buggering off - enjoy your wine

Anyone who believes everything they read in a newspaper needs shooting.

If only everyone loved Jesus then there would be no troubles in the world..
