I don't think that many people would disagree that the Daily Mail comes across as being a little sympathetic toward the mother and daughter in question.
So for totally unbiased reporting can anybody honestly say the DM would have put the same slant on the story had this been a Muslim girl visiting a church, and her mother made an equally vacuous excuse for not attending?
Its precisely the editorial tome of newspapers like the Express, Mail and Sun that reinforces the views of people like Mrs Owen, these anti-Muslim stories are now printed on an almost daily basis by these three rags, so is it any wonder that this drip drip continual bashing is having an effect?
From a personal point of view I can't see putting a scarf around your head and wearing trousers is dressing like a Muslim, the girls are hardly being made to wear a burkha.
If her mother was a little more open minded she might learn from her daughter after the visit that not all Muslims are carbon copies of Abu Hamza.
