On the anniversary of the Charlie Hebdo murders, a chap tries to enter a Paris copshop clad in a

[Berni]

fake suicide vest, clutching a knife and shouting 'Allahu Akbar'.

Les flics promptly shoot him dead.

I think we can safely file that under 'suicide by cop', tbh.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

All together now:

"Nothing to do with Islam!"

[Berni]

and, as the two terrorists fired their AKs and shouted 'Allahu Akbar' several times and then went on to explicitly ascribe their actions to their religion, the words 'Nothing to do with Islam' kept playing on a loop in my head for some reason.

Possibly, it was just a rather ill-conceived practical joke.

during a north London derby?

He was wearing red and white robes as a way of mocking Arsenal over reports that Bin Laden was a Gooner. Unfortunately, when he ran back into the crowd, the Spurs fans took his colours to mean he must be an Arsenal fan himself and proceeded to kick the **** out of him.

was something more moderate muslims said to try and stop the finger of blame pointing towards their religion.

Of course it's to do with Islam, ffs.

That's why we're all anti-gun; we'd like to reserve the right to banter each other off as we please without fear of serious reaper cushions, like being shot.

The social class aspect of the issue is oft-ignored, imo.

[Monty91]

there’s probably a reasonable argument for politicians using such black and white language, even if not strictly true.

And I speak as someone who believes that everyone who practices any religion - however peacefully - has blood on their hands.

less of an electoral mandate than is afforded by Jorge's mate's Lemmy petition, almost anyone is a "politician", and no less legitimate for it.
