Arsonists target UK mosques

Incidents reported by individual police forces included arson attacks on mosques in Leeds, Belvedere, Telford and Birkenhead which caused "little damage", said Chris Fox, the president of Association of Police Chief Officers on Sunday.

Fox added that there was evidence of some verbal abuse directed at Muslims in the street, and some criminal damage to cars, businesses and homes.

The Muslim community is feeling increasingly concerned and vulnerable, a monitoring team from the association found, but it claimed there had been no upsurge in violence and abuse directed at minority groups.

"There is no doubt that there will have been other low level incidents that have not yet been reported to police," Fox said.

"We encourage everyone to report this type of obnoxious and dangerous behaviour, from whatever quarter, for full police investigation as we are determined that there will be a very robust enforcement response to it," he said.

The police presence in some areas would be boosted "wherever locally appropriate" to reassure all communities that they are being protected, he said.

What are so many Muslims doing in Britain? Multi-cuturalism has gone awry. The liberals in Britian and America won't be happy until they are required to speak a different language in their own country.

Best time to hit is when the hive is full.

[Adrastus]

No, multiculturalism pushed toward its logical conclusion.

Al-jazeerah? Pass the salt.

[dfwgator]

The Muslim version of the "Reichstag Fire."

[DoughtyOne]

Call me when 50 of them are dead and over 1000 are injured.

While I don't approve of these actions, this report rubs me the wrong way.

[Billthedrill]

Don't piss off the Brits. Don't do it. They haven't that comfortable middle ground where someone can shoot a few of the SOB's and that'll be it; for them it's all or nothing, and goaded to it they make us look like creampuffs. The Muslims there are much, much less safe than their counterparts in the States, and they aren't afraid for no reason.

[festus]

We're taking up a collection to help the moslems with their burning mosques.

How much do you have so far ?

About 10 gallons so far........

[GulliverSwift]

that's what I meant. There is no multi-culturalism that is anything but awry.

[ArmedNReady]

I was hoping the headline would read:
"Ghurkas attack UK Mosques While Mosques are Full of Virmin Attending Prayer"

[GulliverSwift]

This is a very bizarre picture.

Sherlock Holmes meets Arabian Nights.

[dfwgator]

Those look like Sikhs, not Arabs. Sikhs are good guys. But it is a bizarre picture just the same.

[GulliverSwift]

This is the Yahoo news caption for the picture:

India has expressed shock over reports that a mosque and two Sikh temples had been attacked by arsonists in Britain following this week's multiple bomb blasts in London(AFP/File/Paul Vicente)

I don't know of any Sikh books for comparision.

[dfwgator]

That really irritates me when people get Sikhs confused with Muslims. But I'm sure it happens all the time.

[Paloma_55]

While I am not one to promote vigilantism, it seems that if a few of the "moderate" muslims were to see that they can not sit on the sidelines and watch their brethren blast away at the infidel without some of the splash getting on them, they might start helping us out rather than watch in silence.

"The Muslims there are much, much less safe than their counterparts in the States...

The law of reaping and sowing hasn't yet been repealed in the UK.

[MadIvan]

Those are Sikhs. Sikhs and Hindus are on our side.

I will bet half of them are fake attacks. The press is so predictable.

As someone pointed out on another thread, if you toss a gallon of gasoline in a building, there will be significant damage.

[cherry]

wonder if Cat Stevens will be out singing the "peace train" song and raising money from fellow Islamists for the dead and injured from the attacks....

fat chance....

the Muslim "community" sits silent once again, or so it seems...

people are getting sick and tired of these freaks and someone is going to have to pay, eventually.....

[Cultural Jihad]

What are so many Muslims doing in Britain?

What is Gulliver's quota on people of each faith in Britain? And why should they care?

[Lijahsbubbe]

What is the general atmosphere over there on your side of the pond?

Are people more angry than afraid? Is there a considerable amount of anti-US sentiment or blame? Or are people angry and tired of the Muslim terrorism?

I am not asking judgementally. I just would rather have your take on it than read the presses slant. Thanks.

As you can see, we're even more determined to stand with our American allies out of this.

Here's something to remember.
First- you rarely see Muslim men in the west wearing turban type head wrappings. When they do, they wear them with their ears EXPOSED.
Sikhs cover their ears with the turban.
Covered ears- Sikh-good guy.

[FierceDraka]

Well, WTF did they expect??

It's Jolly Olde England! Land of yobs and hooligans who start riots over friggin' SOCCER games.

Torching a mosque in retaliation to something as serious as a murderous attack by Islamics is to be expected.

[Cultural Jihad]

Sikhs are not Arabs. They originate from Punjab province among India and Pakistan, not Arabia.

I'll bet you've had to deal with a hornet's nest or two as well.

>:-)

[Lijahsbubbe]

Thank you. And my heart is heavy for all of you. And those are not empty words.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Sikhs in Britain might be wise to put "We are not Muslims" on their temple marquees for a few weeks.

[cookcounty]

""We encourage everyone to report this type of obnoxious and dangerous behaviour, from whatever quarter, ....."

Unless, of course, it's the Muslim quarter calling for death to Americans, Jews or Israelis.

[FierceDraka]

Don't piss off the Brits. Don't do it.

You've drank with Brits, too, haven't you? LOL

Great folks, but once they get riled, look the f**k out!

[endthematrix]

When will the Muslim community condemn the actions that caused this? Remember this is REaction to Islamofacism.

[FierceDraka]

Those guys look more like Sikhs than Muslims.

That's a completely different breed of cat.

Most of the Muslims I've seen wear lacy skullcaps instead of turbans.

[MadIvan]

We're carrying on here. I wasn't alone in feeling this way: on July 8th, I could have used the mucked up transport system as an excuse to work from home. Then I thought - "No bloody way, I'm not going to let the terrorists deter me from going to my office". I was going to help the railway company with paying my fare too, Tesco with buying my lunch, etc.

So I was at my post, as per usual.

Yeah, I know. After 9-11, a few Sikhs were mistken for Muslims, and got beaten up.

[Yehuda]

Stand Fast!

[sheik yerbouty]

They are Sikhs, not Muslims. They have been fighting Muslim terrorists for years in India.

[sheik yerbouty]

An excellent detail to keep in mind.

[sheik yerbouty]

July 7th gave them reason to care.

[philetus]

Yeah, I know. After 9-11, a few Sikhs were mistken for Muslims, and got beaten up.
One was killed in Texas.

[Prodigal Son]

What are so many Muslims doing in Britain?

Actually, much of it is because of the Commonwealth status of some nations which have large populations of Muslims... (Pakistan and India for example)

[LibertarianInExile]

No kidding. A few mean phone calls to a mosque and somebody tosses a match and the press is on the drunks like Oswald Mosley has risen. But if a Christian hits on a Muslim and gets iced in an honor killing, you couldn't get the media to cover it without the London tubes being blown up by the hit. I'm sick of watching the inevitable 'don't let anyone get pissed at Muslims' stories. As if we're supposed to get pissed at Quakers or something.

Newsflash: Mosques target UK

[daddyOwe]

LOL.. I'll donate.

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

Whoever believes in this is an ENEMY:
[9.30] And the Jews say: Uzair [Ezra] is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

They managed to keep out anybody from Hong Kong.

[Beckwith]

Those two men are Indian Sikhs, not muslims.

[GulliverSwift]

Yes, I know. But if you know of a Sikh book I could use in my analogy, I'd like to know it.

The caption for that picture from Yahoo News said, as a I quoted above:

India has expressed shock over reports that a mosque and two Sikh temples had been attacked by arsonists in Britain following this week's multiple bomb blasts in London(AFP/File/Paul Vicente)

[GulliverSwift]

That picture never gets old..... or maybe it does.

[GulliverSwift]

The breeding ground for home-grown terrorists is huge in England. I hope the government has infiltrated those groups like they have in America.

[airborne]

I will bet half of them are fake attacks. The press is so predictable.

It wouldn't surprise me a bit if the press set the fires so they'd have this issue to write about.

IMO, the MSM is a willing accomplice of the terrorists.
