#YOUAINTNOMUSLIMBRUV

Typically, I didn't want to do a story on the Leytonstone Station terrorist attack, however this article did stand out to me for the simple fact that the headline is very eye catching and very appealing to those.

Bystander's defiant reaction to Tube terrorist's knife attack becomes online hit as #YouAintNoMuslimBruv sweeps the internet 

Daily Mail

Many are aware of the shocking attack on a Londoner at Leytonstone Station on Saturday night with a man being sliced in his neck by a Muslim welding a machete. After the horrific attack, the attacker then screams "This is for Syria". Many believe that is a result of Westminster's action to go ahead with air strikes over Syria and I am one of that many that believe

 Being a twitter user myself, I was one of the first to view 1 of 4/5 videos that surfaced that night and the one with the East Londoner shouting "You ain't no Muslim Bruv" had became a internet sensation. The Daily Mail then comments - "'You ain't no Muslim bruv' hashtag has swept through social media, described as the 'perfect' London response to the atrocity" and then shows a variety of tweets that comment on the hashtag with many quoting it as "such a British response" 

  I feel like it's a perfect response to such a shocking situation cause it shows a little bit of good humor and that our British twang makes us stand out from the crowd. Although the phrase is light hearted and comedic, there is an element of truth behind the saying - that the terrorists of Syria need to stop using the Islamic faith as their excuse as to why they are going through with these attacks, leading onto the phrase that NOT ALL MUSLIMS ARE TERRORISTS and with the scaremongering of Islamophobia going around for the past 10 years - these 'muslims' that are promoting ISIS are giving off the worst image for those who do not.

This article is very effective in the sense that use of slang, twitter and colloquial language has made this story so much more appealing than just your average Terrorist attack story which we see quite often these days.  The Daily Mail seems to have a right-wing bias, often criticising Labour policies and endorsing Tory plans; typically inducing the idea of Islamophobia which this article is doing whilst giving it somewhat of a light hearted feel therefore not giving quite as much of a "scare".
