SLOW news day? No worries. Just point a camera at some Islamist loon and wait. Today’s willing pillock is Sheikh Abdullah Daoud, a Saudi cleric. He says that to prevent themselves from being molested, toddlers and babies should wear burkas. (Well, it worked for Michael Jackson’s nippers.)

To parents of less attractive children, this may be manna from Heaven.

As it is to the Daily Mail, a paper loves seeing underage faces and curves. It the suggestion has “sparked outrage”. In whom? We can think of only one outraged reader. Omar Barki, the former Tottenham Taliban who was once the go-to source for nuttiness in the name of Islam, must be kicking himself in his Lebanese ward. Why didn’t he think of that? Why?

Heads will roll at the Generating Unreasoned Religious News (GURN) action group…
