#1 The use of the term "Asian Youths" makes this story confusing for Americans to read.

#2 Yea I tell you. I am literate enough to find Asia on a map. I don't see to many "islamic cultures" there.

#3 What bothers me is how this story has almost been suffocated out of the British Press. Even the local paper doesn't seem to dare put it online, even though it is on the front cover of this week's issue. Does this indicate how uneasy the government feels about it?

#4 "Yea I tell you. I am literate enough to find Asia on a map. I don't see to many "islamic cultures" there."

Asia is where all the islamic cultures are or was your statement ironic?

#5 I'm shocked the beeb has gone as far to say the attackers were muslim - let alone summoned from a nearby mosque. This will do nothing to ease the current climate of anti-muslim sentiment in the UK. Couldn't they have simply left the description as 'asian'? Appalling racist jourmalism. ;)

#6 Gerry - tried posting on your blog - similar'racially motivated' murders pepetrated by minorities get little or no coverage in my part of London either - a lad got kicked to death in the car park of our local supermarket last year. The story made it to page 7 in the local rag. There's real evidence such stories are being deliberately suppressed to avoid causing trouble for minorities in our fair city.

#7 No "Ginger" Asia is where China and Japan is the Middle East and, Near East is where Islam is. Viet Nam, Burma Cambodia are in Asia. Stupid git.

Yes Howard the BBC is racist against all fair skinned peoples :Ã what else is new today.
