Saw this story last night and felt as most, oh come on, then saw he was meant to be 'treading' on it, then saw he wasn't, then it was just a case of a random 'so how did that get there...'. Whether or not this has anything to do with this we will never know, but their is certainly potential motive for 'a dig':

Should add that I think Islam just like every other religion needs to be mocked in the right area's, not children's cartoons but general media etc yeah sure. Just like everything else, pretty much ever.

As soon as I saw it I thought it *must* be someone being naughty, I just cannot see anybody making such a mistake,

Why has it taken 2 years to spot it !!
Probably put in by someone on their last day of work for giggle's.

The comparison being made is that this mistake made by a production team has attracted more attention than and is widely portrayed as being more offensive than the murder of Jacques Hamel.
The interesting thing is, everybody seems to be automatically terrified/ashamed/upset about it, TV companies are dragging the episode off air as fast as they can, apologies being issued left right and centre - the designers that wrote it are probably all fired effective immediately - Muslims tweeting that they don't know whether to be offended or not, no doubt ISIS are plotting to blow up somebody over it.
The hell is wrong with the people on this planet, I wish everyone would just stop, just ******* stop for 30 seconds, stop.. STOP!
bbc gets more than 1,000 complaints about episode showing character stepping on holy book – but it doesn’t air the show, lol
