The guardian reports on a sobering event in Washington DC.
US police have arrested a man wielding an assault rifle who entered a pizza restaurant that was the target of fake news reports it was operating a child abuse ring led by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and her top campaign aide.
[...] The suspect entered the restaurant and pointed a gun at a restaurant employee, who fled and notified authorities, police said. The man then discharged the weapon inside the restaurant. There were no injuries.
[...] [Police] said the suspect during an interview with investigators revealed that he came to the establishment to "self-investigate" Pizzagate, the police statement said. Pizzagate is a baseless conspiracy, which falsely claims Clinton and her campaign chief John Podesta were running a child sex ring from the restaurant's backrooms.

What is it with the crazies citing articles that contradict their thesis as proof of their thesis?
You linked to articles describing how the "pedo ring" in the UK parliament was hysterical over-reaction that was not supported by the evidence.
And that's supposed to prove that an editorial saying that hysterical religious stereotyping has real consequences for innocent people should have said, "oh maybe that religious stereotyping might be legitimate?"
The only way your bullshit makes sense if you start with the premise that religious bigotry is appropriate.
