Summary
The article examines the muted media and political response to a suspected anti-Muslim knife attack in Edinburgh, where a bare-chested man allegedly attacked five people near a mosque. Despite CCTV footage showing the man wielding a blade and shouting "I'm protecting the country," the incident received far less coverage than similar attacks targeting other communities. The piece raises uncomfortable questions about bias in British media and political discourse regarding whose safety is taken seriously, particularly when the victims are Muslims.
