when a poster sees them in a group, but describes them as muslims.

'How do you know they were muslims' he is asked.

On the Tell Mama website (for those who didn't know, MAMA is an acronym for 'Measuring Anti Muslim Attacks') it was reported that muslims were ignored as a Stsgecoach bus passed them at the stop.

There were two such heinous incidents on the same day.

How did the bus driver in Oxford know they were muslims? Happy

And why is it an 'attack'????

Surely an attack would have meant he drove the bus at them?

When a witness complained to Stagecoach, he received an email stating they were 'At a loss to explain why the driver didn't stop.'

In response to the BBC, Stagecoach insisted that 'the drivers motivations were not racially motivated.'

But that didn't stop the BBC headline being 'Bus driver ignored waiting muslims.'

Just taking Asia for instance only 32% of the whole population is Muslim, so its a rather large generalisation to just assume someone from Asia would be a  Muslim.

142 views in, and no luvvies have commented.

Which shows what a lot of bollocks the BBC reports of racist actually happen to be.

Obviously, the first question has to be 'WERE they Muslims?' If 'no'...then the BBC report was incorrect. If 'yes' then the BBC report was correct, although poorly worded because the driver might simply have not noticed them. In which case he should be suspended pending  medical checks.

I think the 'attacks' is meant to describe acts against Muslimism itself rather than physical assaults upon members of that faith.

And still no luvvie comments.

"I am not understanding the question please."
