Matthew P Doyle Justifies Croydon Muslim Woman Confrontation 'Because She Was Wearing A Flag'

That's a headscarf mate

A man has regaled the world with a tale so astoundedly misguided you may want to sit down first.

Ready?

Here we go...

Twitter

Matthew P Doyle - who works in PR - clearly took matters into his own hands after the horrific terror attacks in Brussels by demanding an explanation.

From a Muslim woman in Croydon.

Who wasn't in Brussels.

Who had nothing to do with Islamic State.

Who may - although we can't confirm - have never been to Brussels in her entire life.

@MatthewDoyle31 Do you think that Muslim woman in Croydon represents the actions of some senseless terrorists?

@suzanneshine Who knows ? As a generalization no but the threat of Islamic Extememists is a very real threat to all of us in the UK.

Instead of keeping his fruitless quest for answers to himself, Matthew tweeted it to the world instead.

On the plus side, it did provide ample opportunity for much mirth and merriment at his expense.

Hey mate I've chosen you at random for my ancestors' slavery reparations please DM me for my PayPal https://t.co/7VBUB5zgXS

You're more likely to be fatally crushed by furniture than killed by terrorists. Be afraid Matthew, be very afraid. https://t.co/uLrCjOA4Dg

When asked by The Huffington Post UK as to why he had chosen to approach the woman, Doyle explained that her Islamic headscarf justified approaching her.

He said: "She was wearing a flag. If I was walking down the street wearing a jacket emblazoned with a Union Jack then I would be open to some abuse.

When asked if he approaches Jewish men wearing skullcaps to question them on the ongoing Israel/Palestine situation he exclaimed: "Absolutely not!"

After much mockery Doyle attempted to backtrack...

@Gweskoyen It is all a wind up !

And even appeared contrite....

Thank you for your thoughts. The incident did happen yesterday - If I was anyway threatening - I would be reported. Confront is a bad word.

But that didn't last long...

Who cares if I insulted some towelhead ?? Really.

Doyle's Facebook page lists his occupation as "Partner at Grant Doyle Associates".

Fortunately for us all Doyle has a cunning plan...

VOTE UKIP - WE NEED TO DEFEND OURSELVES FROM ISLAMIST THREATS.
