Guardian columnist @NesrineMalik is busily tweeting comments by people, inc me, making legitimate criticisms of both Islam & Islamic extremists, with the implicit nod & a wink that we are somehow responsible for today’s horrific mosque terror attacks. Nesrine, you are despicable.

You're annoyed that a Muslim journalist has made a pretty strong case that words you've written, and very much stand by, contribute to dehumanising a group of people who were massacred yesterday. Your answer was to call her "despicable"

1. The validity of a criticism doesn’t depend on the religion or race of the critic 2. She didn’t have a case at all. 3. Criticising a religious ideology or mode of dress doesn’t dehumanise anyone. 4. Treating Muslims as a special protected group immune from any criticism is...1/

You tweeted about your “harrowing” time interviewing people. You’re publicly complaining that someone criticised you. You consistently present leave voters as a homogenous group “victimised” by the left. You are trying to portray yourself as a victim. Are you beyond criticism?

Unfortunately what happened In New Zealand has been happening to other religions throughout the the world for the past 25 years at the hands of Muslim/Islamic terrorists. You wouldn’t think it though!
