Stories like this always bring to my mind a telling quotation:
"Those whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad."
Spoken by Prometheus in Longfellow's poem
"The masque of Pandora"

This lady is well educated and is writing a book which includes information on the founder of the English Defence League, Tommy Robinson. Robinson recorded this video secretly and I include it here because it displays the typical attitude of many media: they don't want to take the time to study the religion according to its own central texts and historic figures, yet they are absolutely sure Islam itself does not promote anything bad. They base this on nothing more than their own generous view of human nature.
Please be aware of the foul language (and the harsh terms Robinson uses in discussing his Catholic background). This is 30 minutes long and even if you can't find the time for the whole thing it still provides fascinating insights.
Buy Tommy Robinson's book here (highly recommended!).
