Last week, a 14-year-old British boy was forced to flee his home and go into hiding, fearing for his life. Not because he swindled a county lines drugs crook, say, or was the sole witness of a heinous murder. Nothing so dramatic. Rather, his is a story of our times - the latest example, some would argue, of what happens when zealotry trumps common sense.
Claimed that he had scuffed a copy of the Quran.
