And the aftermath

Times distorted Muslim foster case, regulator finds - BBC News

The press regulator has ruled the Times "distorted" its coverage of a five-year-old Christian girl who was placed with Muslim foster carers.
The newspaper ran three front-page stories in August 2017 after the girl was removed from her mother's care by Tower Hamlets council in east London.
It said foster carers stopped her eating bacon, confused her by speaking Arabic, and removed a crucifix.
A Times executive acknowledged the story caused "enormous offence".

[WTFH]

But hey nobody is allowed to talk about it.

Sure, talk about it, but don't hide from the bits that challenge your beliefs.
You know, like the part where the story claimed the Muslim family didn't speak English, which in some people's eyes was a disgrace (whether true or not), but when the child is then sent to live with their grandmother (who doesn't speak English) and who takes the child out of the UK, well that's no issue at all.

Your double standards are incredible... just the norm for you.

The Daily Mail and how they originally reported the story, picture on left and picture on right shows how they followed it up. Spot the difference?

Yes, they and their readers like to have the hatred ramped up to 11.

BTW, the original picture is a stock photo from Gettyimages which you'll find tagged with happy family Dubai.

Nothing tbh

Then why did you post:

Sapnara is a practising Muslim.

Read into that what you will.

What were you hinting at?

[original PM]

What do you read into it?

I read that a judge did their job and delivered a judgement in the best interests of the child, based on knowing the full facts of the case and not just a few headlines.

Nothing tbh

As I said earlier in the post this is just a one off which got picked up by the media.

As long as the child is okay that's all that really matters.

As you rightly say average white bread English Christian.

What is a white bread English Christian? Is it one of these:

The actual court order.

Key points -

The child's maternal grandmother is a non practicising muslim
The child's mother says she is of Christian Heritage
The child's father is AWOL
The change of carer to the child's grandmother was not because of any problem with the current placement
The grandmother will be taking the child back to her country of origin
The grandmother required the documents to be interpreted.


The only conclusion I can draw, is that the reporting of the case was extremely biased.

Some judges are practising Christians and knowing the sh*t some Christians believe are we to be afraid of their judgements as well?

In the words of the OP:

I somehow suspect that the usual right wringers on here won't like this post as much as they did the ones about the foster family.

A few more details starting to emerge.

'No concerns' with mixed faith foster case - BBC News



So not quite the "Christian girl placed with Muslim family" originally reported.

Sapnara is a practising Muslim.

Read into that what you will.

Her parents consider themselves Christian and she has been christened.

So given she is 5 and it is unlikely she even knows what different religions there are it is highly unlikely she had a Muslim background......

Of course it is. But this case gives the appearance of placing the child without consideration of the child's welfare at all, but for some other yet to be disclosed reason. Nice that Tower Hamlets applied for (and were refused) and injunction preventing publication. Not just a corrupt, incompetent council, but cowardly as well (Eyes passim).

The judge, Khatun Sapnara, also disclosed in an order that the girl came from a family with a Muslim background, but were non-practising.

So not quite the "Christian girl placed with Muslim family" originally reported.

She added that the new arrangements were nothing to do with reports of the foster child in the press.
