Daily Mail Headline
Disgusting hyperbole (pr. Hy-per-bo-lee)
They have no idea why she was stabbed.....probably a random nutter
'Don't go out alone': Police warning as they release haunting last CCTV pictures of Saudi student - taken just 20 minutes before she was stabbed 16 times 'for wearing a hijab':
Nahid Almanea, 31, was found dying in Colchester, Essex, on Tuesday
Suffered 16 stab wounds to her body, neck, head and arms
The student was wearing Muslim dress - an Abaya robe and a hijab scarf
Police believe that the religious clothing may have made her a target
It emerged today that Ms Almanea was studying English ahead of her PhD
Officers have warned the public not to go to 'isolated places' by themselves
Teachers paid tribute today to 'considerate' and 'hard-working' student
Was 'seeking brighter future' studying life sciences at University of Essex
Police questioning 52-year-old man from Colchester in connection with death
Echoes of the murder of James Attfield, who was stabbed 100 times in March
CCTV footage capturing a Saudi student walking alone 20 minutes before she was murdered has been released as police warn people in the area not to go out by themselves.
The harrowing clip shows Nahid Almanea, 31, outside shops in Colchester, Essex, just before she was stabbed 16 times in a frenzied attack on a nearby footpath.
Officers believe the PhD student could have been targeted because of her traditional Muslim dress - a long, dark robe and a headscarf.

Could cause retaliation deaths you tw*ts !

Should be charged for inciting violence with that headline.
|
|
By:
Yes I read the same report in the Metro.
The front page headline there read ''Student is murdered for being a muslin.'' Then the first sentence of the report says, the police said she may have been murdered for being a Muslin. Which is very poor journalism, and also a very poor police statement if it's true. So if I get murdered and I'm dressed in a tuxedo, will they say I got murdered for being a toff? |

probably shia v sunni

I think it was about time we lost our ridiculous fear of Islam
Unless it was a personal thing, the lunatic who did this, appears to believe all this rubbish Of course there won't be any retaliation Can our society please stop behaving like a load of wimps and women please |

I would murder anyone for being a toff Dr Crippen

not really

Crippen's worried he may be mistaken for a toff when he's doing the Funeral Parlour day job

I was under the impression from on here that the Daily Mail only reported news of whites getting robbed, stabbed, raped, murdered etc.

yes that has baffled me taxi

Good point.
Poor lass, there's some evil scumbags aboit. |

I bet she never saw that coming

the only good thing to come out of this is that I now know how to pronounce 'hyperbole.'

"murdered for being amuslin"
Muslin (/ˈmʌslɨn/ or /ˈmjuːslɨn/) is a cotton fabric of plain weave..... But all that aside, the media have a great deal to answer for, with their insensitive, disrespectful and dangerous remarks which are bound to cause a backlash of some sort! |
|
By:
excuse me - the police are saying don't jump to conclusions about the nature of this attack and the fact this poor woman was a muslim
wasn't it the police who started this hare running by mentioning it publicly on tv news!!?? |

By:
Sadly the media nowadays..try to appeal to our basest bigotry, prejudices, hatreds and fears
Gone are the days of honesty, integrity, responsibility, or fighting injustice(unless they make it up themselves) because it does not sell anymore The media take a tiny bit of fact and exaggerate or twist it out of all proportion...which people then accept as fact I get worried on these threads when too many people agree, that they are not thinking for themselves |

integrity is the same as honesty, I should have put fairness in there

"murdered for being amuslin"
Lol, I thought I'd got out of doing that. No need to make a meal out of it though AP. |
|
By:
Daily mail a disgrace for putting a headline up like that. Journalists the scum of the earth, hacking into parents conversations when there child has been murdered etc etc. A headline like this incites violence and they should be prosecuted for it.
A sickening incident that just gives the extremists something to feed on. |
|
By:
If they'd have stuck a question mark after the headline that would have been bad enough.
But to deliberately mislead people simply to get them to read the full story is over the top. |
|
By:
The worrying thing is I believe that it's the most read online newspaper.Awful paper.
|
|
By:
Highly unlikely. Most people are murdered by someone they know and are more likely to be children.
|
|
By:
The police have not ruled out a link with this murder and the murder of James Attfield, aged 33, who was stabbed more than a 100 times in nearby Colchester in March.
