The media keeping mentioning "Jamaican gangsters", but what they refuse to mention, and what many of us know, is that there are just as many as Turkish Muslims in this area, and they are deeply involved in these riots.

Not really. Turks and Kurds tend to go to Germany.

Vast majority of Muslims in UK are South Asians: Pakistanis, Indians and Bengalis. For obvious reasons, most Muslims in UK are from the former empire.

The somewhat derogatory term for UK Muslims is "Pakis."

Yes very true......these people do make me laugh, I am 24 and so quite in touch with this sort of generation. The sort of good muslims that drink alcohol and and cause all sorts of trouble........

I have seen photos of whole crowds of white kids who are clearly with the anarchist “anti-globalization” bunch, joyfully participating in the riots, setting up barricades, smashing windows and kicking in doors at McDonalds and trotting around with armsful of goods from stores that they looted.

It obviously started in the black areas, but as usual, the white leftist “youth” crowd has joined in. The same thing happened during the Oakland riots here a few months ago.
