The BBC..... Really

I don't get why that is funny. The BBC can't see in to the future and just reported news they didnt campaign for him to enter.

It's the difference in language that is the issue, not sure what that has to do with seeing into the future?

Ah right, didn't notice the headline.

Well you can say his religion was the reason his visa was denied, but it's not the reason he's been arrested now.

I think the point is that two images side-side "justifies" harsher vetting/requirements on Muslims, IE "funny coincidences". Wouldn't say it has much to do with the BBC though.

Well you can't, since President Trump's original travel ban was not a Muslim travel ban. It sounds knew the authorities knew this guy was a potential sex pest so blocked him, only for the hysterical do-gooders to force them into backing down.

It's both.

It is an amusing coincidence

It is interesting though that the BBC decides to play up his religion when he's a victim and now he's a villain they emphasise his nationality yet don't mention his religion once in the second article.
