An urban myth that will fuel race hatred

I'm sure this item from the Mail on Sunday, repeated I notice in several papers, is an urban myth. Basically they say (mixing Black Country accents with Brummie accents) that the Taliban in Afghanistan is being assisted by people so Brummie that they have Aston Villa tattoos.

Now sadly I have been to several home fixtures at Villa Park. The one thing I did notice is how few ethnic minority people there were amongst the crowd. So I am spetical about reports of Villa supporters fighting for the Taliban. I supect this report is intending to stir up hatred of one section of the community, and I'm sure it is not Villa fans.
