Let’s play a little game called “What’s Wrong With This Headline.” Here’s how to play, I’ll post the headline, say a few words about the story, while readers try to determine what is non-factual, misleading, off-point, or blatantly biased. Below the fold I will post the answer. Okay, let’s play. Here is the headline:

Britain: Man pleads guilty to plot to behead Muslim soldier

Now, before you guess, here are a few notes that might help:

1) Essentially, the headline is true. Yes, a British man did plead guilty to the charges. So it’s not a “non-factual” headline.

2) This is not a case of “Christofascism” or any other such non-sense.

3) The “man” reportedly said his intention was to “kidnap and decapitate an unnamed Muslim servicemen ‘like a pig’”

Okay, it should be quite obvious now…

The would-be murderer was a Muslim too!

Yes, that’s right, instead of reporting this case of Islamic extremism, AKI uses a misleading headline to make readers think that Islam is under attack by the mythological Islamophobes that we hear so much about, yet see so little of in real life.

Here’s the story:

Leicester, 29 Jan. (AkI) – A British Muslim on Tuesday pleaded guilty to plotting to kidnap and decapitate an unnamed Muslim servicemen “like a pig”.

Parviz Khan, 37, an unemployed charity worker, also pleaded guilty to a series of charges, including the beheading plot, which was foiled by police and British intelligence services a year ago.

He was described by prosecutors as a man with “the most violent and extreme Islamist views,”

Three other men, Basiru Gassama, 30, Mohammed Irfan, 31, and Hamid Elasmar, 44, have admitted other offences connected with Khan’s plot.

Khan planned to capture the soldier, cut off his head in a lock-up garage, film the atrocity and post it to the Internet with the aim of terrifying members of the British armed forces and the wider public, jurors at a court in the central English city of Leicester were told.

Another suspect, Amjad Mahmood and co-defendant, Zahoor Iqbal, are also charged with working alongside Khan and others to supply equipment to help militants on the Pakistan-Afghan border who are fighting Western coalition troops, according to prosecutors.

Both men have denied involvement.

Shipments included sophisticated electronic and other equipment such as computer hard drives, range finders, night vision gear and surveillance detectors. Some of the material was sent out under the guise of earthquake relief to Pakistan, prosecutors said.

The trial opened on Tuesday.
