If this is true, anyone involved in the threats should be tracked down and face terrorism charges.

This is unacceptable. We aren’t a theocracy. Everyone has the right to hold and practice their own religious views IN SO FAR as they fall within UK law. Threatening a teenager is very outside the law.

So, nobody’s going to talk about how it was the islamic leaders calling for calm and who invited the family to the mosque and said after seeing what happened it was clearly a misunderstanding? All of which the article mentions? No?
And nobody’s going to mention that it was the school, the police, and an MP who caused the moral panic, generating this feedback loop of panic while in the background the people who were supposedly gravely offended were scratching their heads?
Media whips up hype over trivial incident
Media whips up hype over child suffering the consequences of the previous round of hype
No one whips up hype over the sacks of shit destroying peoples lives for profits.
Pretty sure that labour councillor needs to have words thrown at him by his boss.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but the fact hat so many comments downplaying this event have been awarded is rather strange.
All religions claim to be all about peace. Wonder where that message got lost.
I hope the Islamic community is as publicly vocal in its condemnation of these threats of violence as it was when condemning a 14 year-old kid.
They will no doubt agree that the extremists in their community should publicly apologise at a school assembly and publicly endorse the principles of liberal secularism, right? Right?
