I can't speak on behalf of Muslims as I'm not one, but the more thick end of social media in these local areas is getting very heated with some people blaming the lockdown on people who were going to visit their families for Eid (which was completely allowed until it wasn't!). It's just getting a bit sensitive and it might look to an outsider like we're passing some kind of judgement, which is probably best side-stepped.

The Eid thing makes sense, it was purely a play on words and about the Tories being idiots under the suspicion they rushed the local lockdown in so short notice because of families meeting up over Eid rather than being anything about Muslim communities themselves. The threads locked now though so the controls to edit the title are locked too, a mod may be able to strip the subtitle out though.
It was a hot day today so perfect canon for more stories like this:
WHO have confirmed the last 24hrs have broken the global record for confirmed new cases with 292,527 being announced. The global death count is now at 675,167.
Whilst Witty has said that the UK is now at the limit of how far lockdown restrictions can be eased as Johnson warns that the public must adhere to the rules on social conduct or risk a Second National Lockdown. On 01 July 1 in 2000 people were estimated to be infected, as of today that figure is 1 in 1500.

It's like writing 'what a bunch of Diwallies ' , it may not be intended to target any community by the writer but from a distance looks in bad taste and aimed at a small group.
I said before I wouldn't say anything usually and I regret doing so already. It just looks out of touch and misjudged.

Interesting yesterday doing my main shop in NW London on the hottest day of the year that the supermarket was emptier than it has been for a month ie. before the strict controls of the numbers in the store was eased. Social distancing really was not an issue.
My guess is everyone had taken the day off, gone down to the coast and were sunning themselves on the beach along with thousands of others.

We know there's no malice behind it, but it's best to avoid any misunderstanding.
