Regardless of the rights/wrongs of events in Paris, I cannot help but feel that Charlie Hebdo's front page today is poking the tiger with a pointed stick to see what will happen. The vast majority of Muslims have condemned the attacks, but this front page will be deeply offensive to all Muslims, including those that condemned the attacks.

In actual fact 22% of our citizens are Muslim and we all seem to get along OK most of the time. I live here and can go where I please. He also said that in parts of London Muslims walk around with weapons and beat up anyone who isn't Muslim. What an absolute idiot. They spoke to him on our local news tonight and he has apologised profusely. The trouble is some Americans will believe him. Birmingham was the only UK city in the top 10 cities world-wide, so we can't be that bad! Jokers like this we don't need in the present situation.
