You are so right. But we have words too, provided by the usual suspects, as Fahrenheit211 points out.
It's at times like yesterday that people show their true selves, like MP Tobias Elwood who tried desperately to revive the stricken police officer.
And then you have this:

We should have a sweepstake: how long until an MSM outlet runs a lachrymose piece about how Sista Screwya has been targeted by mean ol' Islamophobes online?
I say Saturday morning in the Graundian, with a bonus appearance on Andrew Marrtian's show on Sunday.
I understand, from a number of other social media sites, that this photo was one of a series taken by a photographer using one of those 20 snaps a second gadgets and that this one was not the only, or first, one taken. If true, it appears that this one shot has been taken out of context and earlier shots show the concern and horror on the lady's face. Other shots apparently also show a (white) male walking by using a mobile phone and looking straight ahead.
Not all photographs replace a 1,000 words.

Penseivat I agree with you that many people took this image on face value. When I saw this I said on a now suspended social media account, that the image is striking, and doesn't appear to show someone anxiously looking around as I recall doing when I was evacuated from my building (incidentally quite close to where Wednesday's Jihad attack took place) on 7/7. At the time I thought this might turn out to be much different to how many who were justifiably angry about the savagery inflicted on us and so it has been. This is a classic example of the 'decisive moment' image but the problem with decisive moment images, as I found when I myself was a photographer, is that they can sometimes be anything but decisive and give the impression that the photographer wants to give rather than the big picture of the situation.
I did notice today that the 'usual suspects' as Julia puts it in the form of the mendacious grievance mongering taqiyya artists of Tell Mama are exploiting people's reactions to this image by smearing as many people as they can 'bigots' 'far rightists' and of course 'Islamophobes'
"I say Saturday morning in the Graundian..."
First accounts were appearing on Friday morning. Damn, the world is getting faster!
"If true, it appears that this one shot has been taken out of context and earlier shots show the concern and horror on the lady's face."
That's certainly her account now, or rather, the account of someone claiming to be her.
But since that person (if they indeed exist) is claiming it not to the press, but to taquiya merchants TellMAMA, as Fahrenheit211 points out, I'm skeptical.
"This is a classic example of the 'decisive moment' image but the problem with decisive moment images, as I found when I myself was a photographer, is that they can sometimes be anything but decisive and give the impression that the photographer wants to give rather than the big picture of the situation."
She is truly Rorschach's Muslim... :D
