| #25 I could be wrong but I remember the BBC being among the forefront commenting about the upcoming backlash against Muslims in America, a backlash that never really happened. Unfortunately the Sikhs took a blow by mistake on this side of the Atlantic as well when one was killed in Arizona, proving beyond a doubt that bigots are idiots. |

| #24 They say it was not connected to a backlash against Muslims following the London bombings, which has seen mosques firebombed and Muslims attacked in the street. Oh Really? |

| #23 No location named, no cross streets, no name of store, no witnesses---just commentators, and nicely well-placed ones. At least cite the local police report! I'm inclined to think this allegation might be bunk. |

| #21 Deliberately beating innocent bystanders to death is beyond the pale. That is something Muslims do. I think non-Muslims can do better. It's one thing to take it out on known associates or family members of the bombers. And quite another to take it out on some random person who happens to be of the same ethnicity or religion. If more attacks occur, the Labor Party's assiduous appeasement of Muslims may well lead to electoral disasters at the polls for Labor. And these setbacks would only be fair, given the demographic disaster that Labor has wrought in its quest for electoral supremacy. |

| #20 If the report is accurate, it's deplorable. Barring a complete failure by the legal authorities to enforce the law, vigilantism is immoral. I don't think Britain's gotten to that point, yet, and they've barely been given any time to pursue the attackers from Thursday. |

| #19 The thugs beat the guy to death because they wanted to steal his smokes and he resisted. They would have shouted antisemitic slogans if he had been Jewish or standard media cant if he had been American. They are scum, lice, the dregs of society. There is nothing in this to cheer, unless you're an Islamo-apologist looking for another excuse to enact a special set of rules. |

| #18 Ok then, I have no sympathy for the real, imagined, conjured, unconfirmed or hyperthetical Muslim. The fear of violent retaliation can be even more effective than the real thing... |

| #16 Perhaps these poor "sassier" youths felt a justified seething anger that their elder leaders could not voice because they didn't wish to "rock the boat." All pent up until it exploded? Khalifa for dinner anyone? http://www.guardian.co.uk/attackonlondon/comment/story/0,16141,1527435,00.html |

| #15 beeb has nothing on this, so i'll assume Al G is jumping on a rumor. Beeb DOES have this "Five people have been arrested on suspicion of attempting to petrol bomb a Sikh temple in Belvedere, south-east London" Now we can all disagree about muslims, but can we all agree that whoever did the above was plain old total idiot? |

#11 There're a handful of sources carrying the story now. One includes the following:In Nottingham, a man of Pakistani roots was reportedly beaten to death on Sunday. Europe, welcome to your future. |

| #10 seems to be true. this will cause the muslim community to NOT reform: some will band together as "victims." for some, it will confirm that the west is waging a war against islam. and others will simply be less inclined to take action without having any specific reason. |

| #9 Thx, Lh - something so blatant - it should be all over the place, given the atmosphere. I'm perplexed. alG's not quite that stupid, are they? |

| #8 dot com is right, its always good to wait for confirmation from multiple sources before assuming an event to have happened. |

| #7 Still nobody seems to be picking this up. While looking I ran across this Beeb story where the PakiWakis claim to have thwarted another attack during the elections... I'm thinking damage control is in progress... |

| #6 1.6 million Muslims live in England? When did this happen Oh, the last 20 years or so.... |

| #4 Headline directly contradicts the police: "Nottinghamshire police described the incident as racially aggravated, not as Islamophobic.." Straight alG story. Nothing on the Google News or AP Myway roundups or BBC. I'll wait for confirmation - not just repeated blather. |

| #3 Sounds like regular YOB activity, unfortunately. |

| #2 I have no sympathy for the dead Muslim. See my Rantburg comment under "Hate Speech Laws Don't Cover Koran" regarding distinguishing between "good" Muslims and "scum-fuck terrorist" Muslms. Besides, what do you expect when your government won't execute it's primary responsibility to protect it's own citizens... (can you say Minuteman Project). |
