Why am I narrowing the goalposts?

If you mean by holding you down to 21st century Britain, well since this horrible and sadistic murder happened in 21st century Britain then surely that is what is under discussion here?

/// Christians, Catholics and Muslims.///

Are not Catholics also Christians, so that only makes two.

/// Not all of them by any means...but you can't open the paper without some religious fundamentist shouting their prejudices about certain members of the population. ///

And we are not also discussing "religious fundamentalists shouting their prejudices about certain members of the population".

What is under discussion is the fact that a mother (and with the help of her husband) has allegedly murdered their son, because he did not learn to read their religious book fast enough.

Perhaps you would care to show me recent proof of a similar case of someone of the Christian faith committing a similar crime, because the victim didn't learn the Bible fast enough?

The pretext for which she beat her own child to death hardly matters does it?

Sorry AOG, you have lost me - can you explain please?

So now we know. Aog's particular interest is that the accused is Muslim, and only that makes her commit such a crime as child murder, and adherents of no other religion would commit such crimes as this.

Is that a fair representation of your. opinion, aog? If so, you could have saved us some time by adopting one of my 'sarcastic' questions or pick from any or any combination of :Medieval belief; primitive; why allow;practices; savages; Rochdale; social services; and throw in 'political correctness' and 'ethnic sensitivity' for good measure, as the mood suggested, whether or not relevant).

As it was, it was something of a puzzle why a bald recital of facts alleged prompted you to post.
