A London man was arrested after posting on Twitter about a confrontation that he had with a Muslim woman who he had asked to “explain Brussels,” Sky news reported on Thursday.
The tweet, which was posted on Wednesday afternoon, said: “I confronted a Muslim woman yesterday in Croydon. I asked her to explain Brussels. She said ‘Nothing to do with me’. A mealy mouthed reply.”
Many jumped to criticize the tweet, feeling Doyle’s tweet was insensitive following Tuesday’s bombings in Brussels, which killed at least 31 people and injured 270.
Can always count on scum like @MatthewDoyle31 to exploit #Brussels for his own bigoted views… pic.twitter.com/9BgtjuRuDx

You’re more likely to be fatally crushed by furniture than killed by terrorists. Be afraid Matthew, be very afraid. https://t.co/uLrCjOA4Dg

The Internet quickly took to mocking Doyle, with many users choosing to parody his tweet.
Confronted Audrey Tautou in Croydon yesterday and asked her to explain Brussels. She quoted lines from an old script. Amelie-mouthed reply.

I confronted a man who was eating a bowl of muesli yesterday in Croydon. He said “mmfflfffmufflrgh”. A mealy mouthed reply.

Doyle, who seems to be enjoying his new Internet fame, has since tweeted several more anti-Islam tweets on his page, including calling for a ban on the burka, increased vigilance against Islam, and frequently refers to Muslims as “Towel heads” in his derogatory tweets.
Vent your fury at those Islamic bastards who destroyed so many innocent lives. Our threat in London is real. I told you so.
