Muslims fear anti-Islam backlash in tolerant Barcelona

Barcelona (AFP) - Prayer time is approaching but Raja Miah, an imam at a tiny mosque in the heart of Barcelona does not expect a big turnout.

Since the twin attacks in Barcelona and the nearby seaside resort of Cambrils claimed by the Islamic State group, the Muslim community in central Barcelona's neighbourhood of Raval fears an anti-Islam backlash.

"People are very scared," said Miah, 23, as he sat in a small room at the mosque in Raval as a small group of children in an adjoining room studied the Koran.

Raval -- whose name derives from the Arabic word for neighbourhood -- is located just west of Barcelona's bustling Las Ramblas boulevard where a van ploughed into pedestrians on Thursday, killing 13 and injuring dozens of others. Just hours later, another person died in a similar attack in the holiday town of Cambrils, where police shot five suspects dead.

"There is a lot of fear, people don't go out. Very few people come to pray. Normally we are about 40 people, last night we weren't even 15 and this morning 10," said Miah, who moved to Barcelona nine years ago from Bangladesh.

[[Muslims fear anti-Islam backlash in tolerant Barcelona]]

Kill and cry wolf , that’s game.
Eventually the natives are going to get sick of it and pick up picks and shovels and beat the tar out of them.

Right on schedule...

They kill us, yet they’re the victims.

Yep, here we go.

Rather than discussing how Moslem terror is creating difficulties, instead they want to discuss how there is fear of anti-Muslim backlash activities.

Backlashes which never seem to happen, I might add. Has there ever been a backlash against Muslims after a terror attack? Yet the media constantly push that line.

If one nutcase does something crazy and is linked to ‘the right’ or ‘Republicans’ or ‘conservatives’ in any way, no matter how peripheral, there is immediate backlash against anyone who isn’t a card carrying left wing radical or Democrat (I know - this is a difficult distinction sometimes). On the other hand, we have had thousands die at the hands of terrorists who expressly claim to be devout adherents of Islam, but immediately after such an event the focus is on ‘backlash’.

Maybe if Muslims UNITED AGAINST THE VIOLENT NUTS IN THEIR OWN RELIGION THEY WOULDN’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT A BACKLASH...

GET OFF YOUR BUTTS MUSLIMS AND SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF ‘WHY WHY WHY’ SO MANY MUSLIMS TURN VIOLENT. It’s not our problem Muslims - it’s YOUR problem. And yeah, there probably will be large backlashes in the future... backlashes YOU Muslims have earned BY PLAYING VICTIM WHEN YOU’RE THE PEOPLE WITH THE VIOLENT SPAWN.

They always fear the backlash,

but they don’t seem to care who gets the frontlash.

What they’re really worried about is that if there is a backlash, they won’t be able to go on slaughtering kefirs quite as easily as they used to. What a tragedy that would be!

It’s good to see someone over there remembered to switch on the “Muslims afraid of backlash™” app to automatically generate this tripe.

Personally I’m afraid that there won’t be any backlash. The families of the terrorists should have already been deported, their mosques should have already been razed to the ground and the Imams who encouraged their violence should have already been imprisoned by now.

I guess I should get an app as well, I post the same damn thing after every one of these atrocities.
