Tommy Robinson Update

In late May and early June we wrote about a Brit - Tommy Robinson - who was jailed for trying to draw attention to the trial of a group of Pakistani pimps - a so-called "grooming gang" - who preyed on poor white girls. He wasn’t making noise or inciting violence, just videoing the trial from across the street.

Now Breitbart reports Robinson has been released on bail. The judge, who summarily jailed him for contempt of court, has been rebuked for judicial errors. As an admitted Anglophile, I am pleased.

Being Muslim does not excuse criminal behavior, nor should it shield the accused from media coverage. Some Brits, apparently including the rebuked judge, have taken avoidance of Islamophobia entirely too far. Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the link.
