5Pillarz reports on the outcome of complaints made to the Press Complaints Commission about an inflammatory article by Alan Judd (“How to spot a terrorist living in your neighbourhood“) published in the Daily Telegraph on 28 May, in the midst of the anti-Muslim backlash that followed the killing of Lee Rigby.
The only concession the PCC was prepared to make to complainants was to accept that Judd’s claim about most terrorists in the UK being Muslims was inaccurate. The Telegraph has therefore added the following clarification: “When this article was first posted it said that the great majority of terrorists have been Muslim males aged 16-34. The reference to terrorists should have read Islamic extremist terrorists in Britain. We have amended the article accordingly.”
As for objections to Judd’s disgraceful list of telltale signs of incipient terrorism among Muslims (including “a sudden ostentatious insistence on religious ritual, especially in a secular context”), which targeted whole swathes of the Muslim community, the PCC rejected these complaints.
After being accused of being an extremist and secretive organisation, the Al Risalah Islamic Bookstore in Bankstown, which has found itself at the centre of a media storm in the past year, has shut down.
Fox News has further embroidered the baseless story, promoted first by the 
“Resembling the anti-Communist, red-baiting films of the 1950s, Jihad in America: The Grand Deception effectively sums up its intentions with its title. This documentary co-directed by Rachel Milton and Steve Emerson (the latter is the executive director of the organization Investigative Project on Terrorism) is a broad indictment of Islam, seemingly implicating every person of that faith as a potential violent jihadist determined to destroy America.”
The head of a movement which opposes multiculturalism is rallying troops to target a Buderim church information event on Islam.
