Yeah. There should have been a media blackout on that.
You know, for the greater good. I bet not a single other paper or news broadcast ever uttered a single word about Finsbury Park mosque. It's all the fault of the Sun and Mail. Case closed.

you're right that they weren't the only ones
though the Sun in particular seemed to have a hard-on for their cover boy Hanza. He does look like a bond villian, I'll admit.
But at the risk of stereotyping the van man doesn't look the type to be reading The Times, put down his Pimms, and announce, "I say old bean, it's time I jolly well went down to that Mosque and give those chaps what for"

I think we can establish that this guy was a violent, drunken moron. However if you don't think that violent drunken morons are susceptible to suggestion from what they view as a gospel of truth (because they are ignorant and right wing) then you're simply lying to make a point or you have your head in the sand.
If you read in the paper that you're under attack from all corners and you don't have the capacity to go and check with other sources, use your mental reasoning skills, or perhaps don't actually know any muslims, then it's likely that you'll come to believe that point of view after a while.
To use your incorrectly utilised phrase "case closed".
