Article 1
Headline: 9 years for urine spraying chemist
Section: News
Written by: ?
Page: 11
Outline: This article is about Sahnoun Daifallah who was jailed for spraying his urine and faeces in supermarkets and other places.
The article presents the details of the acts committed by Daifallah as well as a face shot of him. It lists the various locations that he contaminated.
It refers to him as "The Algerian" but does not make reference to his religious background.
It's a fairly factual piece and because of that is given a 'neutral' rating
Artice Verdict: Neutral

Section: World Digest
Written by: ?

Stories like this are almost guaranteed to leave people with a negative viewpoint about Islam. Although the word "Islam" isn't explicitly mentioned, people are likely to equate Saudi Arabia with Islam and thus their viewpoint will be negative.
