10-YEAR-OLD ENGLISH MUSLIM BOY’S SPELLING ERROR LEADS TO POLICE RAID

British police stormed a Muslim family home, believing they were targeting terrorists

On December 7, British police stormed the house of a Muslim family in Accrington, Lancashire, believing they were targeting terrorists. After interrogating a young boy and examining his family’s laptop, the cops discovered it was all a bloody mistake.

How could that bloody mistake have happened? Well, this is a real laugher, that is except for one terrorized Muslim family.

According to the BBC, it all happened because the family’s 10-year-old son made a spelling error at his elementary school. During an English lesson, the boy mistakenly wrote that he lived in a “terrorist house,” but what he meant to say was that he lived in a terraced house.

The school reported what he wrote to the authorities, and because the boy was a Muslim, the cops were sure that they were about to uncover a terrorist cell.

The police deny they used any SWAT-type tactics, insisting that only a handful of officers went to the home to interview the family. The family, however, insists the boy and other family members were terrorized by the raid.

This would never have happened in the United States. Our fifth graders would never even attempt to spell either “terrorist” or “terraced.” If they lived in a terraced house and were asked to describe it, they probably couldn’t do that either.
