Hate Week

I'm really pissed off about the garbage in the media yesterday and today about the Edinburgh mosque. A right-wing think-tank managed to find just one piece of dodgy literature in the whole of Scotland and it becomes the first thing on the news alongside lots of crap about "hate fuelled extremism". The Times editorialised that "This torrent of medieval bile is abhorrent."

The only ones fuelling hate are the media. Have they read a bible recently? There is some pretty violent stuff in there and churches are packed with the things. Meanwhile Lothians-bases apostates remain unslain.
