Angle is everything. Want to make a small protest look huge? Take a low angle shot. Want to make a big protest seem small, take a high angle wide shot with limited points of reference.

Speaking of angle, Steve Emerson, who claims to be an Islam expert was on Fox News spouting off bogus statistics about Muslims in the UK. He was busy claiming that Birmingham and other cities are majority Muslim and that non-Muslims can’t go there (no-go zones).

It was patently BS, and he had to walk back those claims, but not before he got them out there.

Islamophobia is real, and they’re spreading their noxious nonsense all over the media.

As a reminder, this is the true demographic picture in Europe, and far from being a majority anywhere, there’s a range from insignificant minority to a substantial minority.

In Birmingham, Muslims make up 22% of the population, which is hardly a majority (unless you’re playing RWNJ math).
