Riots in UK over rape of black girl
Times of India ^ | 10/23/05 | AFP

LONDON: One person, believed to be an Asian, was killed and ten others injured when violence erupted in Britain's Birmingham city after a week of racial tension over the rape of a black teenage girl allegedly by an Asian gang.

Dozens of youths pelted stones at policemen, smashed windowshields of cars and attacked a food joint after a public meeting of the Afro-Caribbean community to discuss the rape of the 14-year-old Jamaican girl.

Tension has been running high in the area for the past one week after rumours circulated that the girl had been attacked by 19 South Asian men, but had not gone to police because she is in Britain illegally and feared deportation.

One person was stabbed to death at a takeaway food outlet in the Lozells area of this central English city last night.

However, unconfirmed reports said another man also died when a mini-cab was set alight.

As is common in Britain, would 'South Asian' mean Pakistani?

Khalid Mahmood, the lawmaker who represents the area in the Houses of Parliament, denied that the unrest amounted to a race riot.

Muslim right to rape. The pedophile prophet (pork lard be upon him) approves.

In 1998 Pagones was awarded $150 million in suit for a defamation of character that he brought against Sharpton, Maddox, and Mason.

Any idea if he ever collected any of this?

That's what the British get for placing diversity and PC at the front of their social agenda.

What does Tawana Brawley have to do with this topic?

Sorry to disappoint you but not every black girl who alleges rape is lying about it. Tawana Brawley may have lied but that doesn't mean this 14-year-old girl did.

Yes, it does. Earlier reports conveniently dropped the identification of who raped whom. Apparently, the British press doesn't want to offend our Muzzie brethren by letting the world know they did a Bad Thing. Heck, if it was done by that protected class, Muslims, it's just a harmless prank, isn't it?

As no rape has even been reported, much less investigated, this is all very much based on unsubtantiated rumour.

"So what" nothing! You could have made your point about the rioting WITHOUT mentioning Tawana Brawley!
