Which of course wouldn't sell as many copies of the Mail.
"Muslim complains and defends her belief" isn't as interesting a headline, is it?
Making out that the couple were arrested for defending their christian beliefs, when the articles suggests that they were arrested for insulting a muslim woman over her beliefs, panders to some people's anti-muslim/asian feelings.
You'll notice that it took the woman to make a statement before it was clear she was white and British.
However if the CF Team are stating that what they were actually arrested for is indeed a christian belief, then who am I to argue
