"...it draws attention to a recent study by Teeside University suggesting that where the media stress the Muslim background of perpetrators of terrorist acts, and devote significant coverage to it, the violent backlash against Muslims is likely to be greater than in cases where the perpetrators' motivation is downplayed or rejected in favour of alternative explanations.""

So this is a recommendation that the press suppress facts or make up 'alternative explanations' in order to minimize violent response to... violent terrorist attacks?

"At the same time, the commission noted considerable intolerant political discourse in the UK, particularly focusing on immigration. It said that hate speech continues to be a serious problem in tabloid newspapers, and that online hate speech targeting Muslims in particular has soared since 2013."

You mean, about the time terrorist attacks spread from the ME and into western countries?

Sounds like Britain effectively told them to pound sand.. Good. The EU is a worthless pile of bureaucratic shit and needs to go away.

While neither are ideal, what better? A worthless pile of bureaucratic shit..... or a Europe ruled by Islamic caliphate?
