BBC News political editor Nick Robinson apologized last week for originally identifying the London stabbing as having a Muslim appearance based on quotes given to him by law enforcement.
Appearing on the News at Six the day of the Woolwich attack, Robinson explained that his law enforcement sources told him the perpetrator was of Muslim appearance and had reportedly been shouting Allahu Akbar, the Arabic phrase for God is great.
The report apparently generated controversy, especially within the United Kingdoms Muslim community, who felt the comment represented an unfair racist generalization. Several days later, Robinson took to the BBC website to post an apology note, which read in part:

I am SO SICK of people apologizing for speaking THE TRUTH
Better to say “Looked like he belong to the pedophile death cult”
The ‘appearance’ part is what’s wrong - that the reporter said he had a Muslim ‘appearance’. He WAS a Muslim, and he DID shout ‘Alahu Akbar.’ That’s the only error here.
Clearly the guy looked like a Jihadi.
Ok since we cant believe anything the press reports, can you at least tell us the perps name so that we can make up our own minds?
Screaming “Allah Akbar” at a beheading, waving his knives around, with his hands covered in blood: Aren’t those signs of Islam? What is the profiling beef here—prejudice against someone who is beheading while Muslim?
PC = Lying to prevent liberals from having to take responsibility for their actions and allow them to do whatever they want.
exactly right, and he sure did look like one too.
The standard response when any libtard whore-nalist asks if you will apologize just reply “Just to be clear - you want me to apologize for peaking THE TRUTH, right? Correct??”
and MAKE HIM ANSWER
Hey there’s no Muslim Appearance any more. Muslims can look like the Brawny Paper Towels lumberjack.
Well,if it was reported that he had a Muslim appearance..AND DID AND WAS..
(Not hollering..just don’t want to take the time to learn HTML)
You’re not by yourself.
Sick to puking of people telling the truth then backing down.
So much for that freedom of speech we’re supposedly fighting to defend.
He had a bloody knife in his hand and was screaming Allah Akbar. He just finished slitting a Westerner’s throat for crimes against Islam. If that’s not a Muslim appearance, I don’t know what is.
Nick Robinson told the truth, and now he is appoligising out of fear of offending Muslims apparently. If you want to see TRUE Islamophobia, look no further then Nick Robinson, he is obviously terrified of Muslims
Read most of the press reports coming a day or two after this attack and you come away with the “fact” that the worst thing about this is the “excuse for Islamophobia” it gives the white underclass. Depressing.
