But if he had been Muslim he wouldn't have been drunk.
There's no denying that certain sections of the British media like to over exaggerate certain issues, but these are generally the red tops that cater for the, hmmm, how to put it, less educated members of society.
The types of people who prefer to believe in stereotypes, xenophobia and the Loch Ness Monster.
Certain posters appear to display the same traits on here, but from an Arab/Muslim perspective by casting wild assumptions about how possibly a member of a different society would be treated given a hypothetical situation.
If people are going to start claiming discrimination and unfair treatment against one section of society then I'd rather it was followed up with some hard and fast facts.
Oh, and by the way, does anybody know that this Brit was released without charge and told to behave himself next time, or does he actually have a trial pending for this incident ?
