Mrs Webster was not aware that, when those who carried out the crime came to court, it was up to the prosecution to cite the attack as racist. Had that been proved, the sentences meted out – especially to Wasif Khan, 19, described in court as ''the hammer man'' and who was jailed for eight years for wielding the weapon that fractured Henry's skull – may well have been much stiffer.

You haven't clarified squat.
You mention the bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima with some lame comparison.
Just before those bombings, we had fought for 81 days on Okinawa. There were more killed during those 81 days on Okinawa than both atomic bombs together killed.
The invasion of Japan was estimated, based on the previous three years of combat, to cost a minimum of a million American casualties, and untold millions of Japanese.
Now, let's see. A couple hundred thousand and the war is over, or do we continue to slug it out and have millions of casualties.
Which is more humane? 200,000, or 3,000,000?
I know you Brits are much more civilized than we American cousins, and it's your business. Your Muslims, your country.
Personally speaking, I'm just waiting, as are hundreds of thousands more here in the States for our Muslims to start some crap. Just a hint of violence.
And on that day, we'll show you how it's done.

I think a vast majority of the people on our planet would love to see a stop put to those who desire to bring back medieval style laws and religious control.
As was pointed out, with all their effort, these radicals could only draw a small crowd to berate the grieving family at their sons funeral.
