Why wasn't terrorist Shamima Begum reported as an 'angelic child', by the British press, as Australian far-right Brenton Tarrant was?
As for the New Zealand attack, even The Guardian also got a slap on the wrist for failing to describe it as a terrorist incident, instead referring to it in headlines as a “mass shooting”, along with the rest of the British press
Current Events, please.

The Daily Mail's front page was somewhat telling, with its 'How a blond little boy turned into a mass killer', and as for Anon...Shamima Begum’s father has said he did not have a problem with the government’s decision to remove her British citizenship and condemned her lack of remorse for joining Isis.
Talking of the wide-eyed gurning of the British press, the Sun even had to sulkily step down after this, on a front page: "1 in 5 Brit Muslims' sympathy for jihadis". They were ordered to admit British Muslims story was 'significantly misleading'. Do I have a link to confirm my claims?
Desperate barrel scraping from Brit. newspapers that has been spewing out Islamophobia for years will always miss out certain points; like Shamima (despite not being blonde) also was sweet and respectful as a wee bairn.

After the Manchester terrorist attack in 2017, the Express led with the following: “Evil beyond belief. How could a jihadi barbarian murder our beautiful and innocent children?”
Like Brenton? Of course, he's an Aussie - but he'd love being a Manc, a Scouser - or from anywhere else in our pleasant isles.

Because she wasn’t?
One of her jihadist bride mates had an extremist daddy and she was raised by her Muslim cleric uncle.
Maybe she was radicalised at home, but that is not pc is it?
And do you have a link to confirm your claims?
A year the race baiter can provide evidence to show she was. Hating on blondes, ‘‘tis because they are white, Snyde? Thought so.
