My whinge is the arse tweaking lack of facts this time, as well as the subject matter being DailyWail fodder in any form. Apparently there are over 100,000 female caucasian converts to islam in the UK and the number is growing rapidly. They know this because some islamic organisation told them so. No primary research, no 'facts', no verification, the organisation presented no data. Effectively 'A bloke down the pub told me; it must be true' backed up by an interview with a convert. When the revolution comes, are we allowed to shoot all these 'journalists' who dislike reality so?

Thanks for the link; that clarifies things somewhat. The telly news really have misreported the pretty much the whole thing. The statistics are a little thin, but the methodology seems sound.
