clearly shows. I'm sure when silly-haired hatemonger Geert Wilders arrives in Britain today he'll have a happy look at the Express before he pops over to his friends at UKIP - he'll probably scratch his head and wonder, though, why he's labelled as a dangerous extremist when anti-Muslim hatred far worse than his bleating sophistry gets chucked onto the front page of national newspapers almost every day. He must think he's a bit too liberal and wishy-washy for the likes of the Express.
As Tabloid Watch says, it's not just the idea that some Muslims want sharia law - it's MUSLIMS in the headline, as if there's no difference between extremists and the rest. In a lot of ways, that is an extreme point of view to take, one shared by the likes of Melanie Phillips and Wilders, but one not held by the vast majority of people.
This smacks of a crusade, a vile attack on one group of people - not extremist Muslims, but all Muslims. Just look at the Minaret on top of Nelson's Column - what the hell is that supposed to represent? That's the fearmongering shit you'd expect from the far right, not from a national newspaper. But seeing as they think it's fun to Photoshop a landmark, I thought I'd have a go. Here's the Northern and Shell building in London, home of the Express. I thought I'd just make a slight alteration. See if you can spot it (I've tried to make it as subtle as their one, for reasons of fairness).

I missed the papers yesterday, was run off my feet. Did they actually print that photo of Nelson's column? Surely, surely they didn't? Who in their right fucking mind would think that was the kind of picture that belongs on th front page of a newspaper?
It's things like that that make me wonder if there is a 5th column at the Express trying to bring it down from within!
The picture's actually from the 'Islam4UK' website: http://www.islam4uk.com/non-muslims/62-non-muslims/354-trafalgar-square-under-the-shariah - though the site is so barking, I do wonder if it's a spoof or a false flag created for the benefit of the Express.
Of course, claiming that this is the view of all Muslims, is equivalent to claiming that Stephen Green and Christian Voice represent the views of all Christians in the UK.
And i thought the daily mail had the most gob-smackingly awful headlines. This one is right up there with them.
And just to make the Express look like even more of a dick, when the obligatory rent-a-mob of shouty muslim fucktards turn up to, I can only assume, compliment Wilders on his magnificent Mozart tribute hairstyle, they're carrying 'Sharia Law For The Netherlands' signs.
Ooh, so close.
Here, here.
The express needs to take a serious look at it self and wonder where it's headed.
