At last the BBC has finally admitted that this attack was carried out by Muslims. Everyone else accepted it along time ago, i'm just surprised that the BBC has actually used the word 'Muslim' and associated it with something negative!
Of course, the BBC had to make the Muslims out to be victims as well by focusing more on the rioting that followed than the actual incident once the Muslims had been found guilty. If you actually look at the above, the BBC even tries to cast doubt over the verdict.
Total and utter rubbish.
You have to question why the BBC whenever reporting on Islamic terrorism in India and Pakistan, never questions why the 'Islamic Republic of Pakistan' was created in the first place. Although, they do keep reminding us about Israel.
You can't win em all...

Eleven sentenced to death for India Godhra train blaze
A special court in the western Indian state of Gujarat has sentenced 11 men to death for setting fire to a passenger train in the town of Godhra in 2002.
Another 20 men were sentenced to life in prison.
The Sabarmati Express was attacked by a Muslim mob killing 59 people, mainly Hindu pilgrims.
The attack led to some of the worst riots seen in India and left more than 1,000 people, mainly Muslims, dead.
Gujarat's authorities were criticised for not doing enough to stop the riots.
Last week, the court acquitted 63 of the accused. All of those accused and convicted were Muslim. The attackers were said to have forced the train, carrying Hindu pilgrims returning from the northern town of Ayodhya to stop, and then set fire to one of the carriages.
'Conspiracy'
Whether or not there was a conspiracy to set the train ablaze or whether it was a spontaneous fire has long been the subject of dispute.
That commission also exonerated Gujarat's Chief Minister Narendra Modi over the deadly religious riots that followed the blaze.
He was accused of failing to halt the religious violence and some opponents said he indirectly encouraged some of the Hindu rioters. But the commission dismissed these allegations.
But Mr Modi was criticised in 2010 for his "partisan" stance by a separate Supreme Court panel which investigated the riots.
It said he showed "discriminatory attitude by not visiting riot-affected areas in Ahmedabad where a large number of Muslims were killed," according to Tehelka magazine and AFP news agency.
The inquiry commission's findings contradicted an earlier probe by retired Supreme Court judge Umesh Chandra Banerjee, who found that the coach fire was not deliberately started.
He concluded in 2005 that the fire began by accident.
He said there was evidence to suggest the blaze began inside the train and that it was not fire-bombed.
Of course, the BBC had to make the Muslims out to be victims as well by focusing more on the rioting that followed than the actual incident once the Muslims had been found guilty. If you actually look at the above, the BBC even tries to cast doubt over the verdict.

, but seeing as they're mainly identifying Muslims so as to show them as not only victims, as you observed, but as if it was a possible frame up against them, since the original judge concluded the blaze was an accident.
