"Yes. A Muslim man blew me up, and I lost my leg."
That's how Chris Herbert began his "angry rant" on Facebook. Herbert, a former soldier from Portsmouth who served in Iraq with the Yorkshire Regiment, lost his leg in a roadside bombing in Basra. But far from spouting hatred of Islam, Herbert's post goes on to praise the Muslims who served next to him in Iraq and helped him recover from his injuries.
"A Muslim man also lost his arm that day wearing a British uniform," it continues. "A Muslim medic was in the helicopter that took me from the field. A Muslim surgeon performed the surgery that saved my life. A Muslim nurse was part of the team that helped me when I returned to the UK."
