'My life is threatened - there is no hope here'
BBC ^ | Aug 5 | BBC

Posted on 08/05/2024 10:01:56 AM PDT by RandFan

"It's not easy to stay here—more for my life and my safety; I can't try over and over again with the same result."

Mohammed Idris, who owns Bash café, in south Belfast, says he will not reopen after his business was set alight during violent protests.

Disorder broke out after an anti-immigration protest in the city on Saturday.

Mr Idris has told BBC News NI his businesses have been targeted before, saying his shop on Sandy Row was targeted last year.

"My computer shop was completely damaged just like this café. This café was a hope, a place for a community - there is no hope here now."

Recounting the night his cafe was attacked he says a group of people "shouted my name, 'Where is Mohammed?', then they smashed all windows on the ground floor."

However, he told BBC News NI that the worst came overnight when his business was set on fire.

"For me it’s not easy - it is so difficult when they know your name. It’s scary - my life threatened. A group of people coming - shouting my name, just people who came from different areas."

Don’t like it in Ireland? Go home.

Uh, bye. He was probably a good person who had the misfortune of being associated with the religion of hate. Just wondering if he ever went up to his Imam and asked him to cut out the bs and just concentrate on worshiping their god as they see him and leave hating to the left, who are masters at that art. As for the BBC, shove it up your commiehole.

It’s a “summer of love” and “mostly peaceful”. It’s fine, bro. You’re too reactionary and have no empathy.

Well. Bye. Muslims and Islam do NOT integrate or assimilate. All they want is to DOMINATE.

Go back to where you are from and open up a deli and computer shop.

If this breaks out here in the states, we’ll need a dense network of snipers to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

This is long, long overdue. Most the native Brits did not wish to battle. They like living a civilized kind of life.
But when your culture and your life become repeatedly and increasingly threatened, you have to either push back HARD, or quietly place your figurative neck on the block.

worshiping their god as they see him

That, unfortunately, includes decapitating "infidels".

Starner is exactly the wrong kind of Prime Minister for these times. He prefers to hide behind the short term, material benefits of socialism. That’s not what is needed right now.
Someone needs to lay down laws and restrictions on BOTH sides. Stop pretending the worst devils are innocent victims.
If Starner and company do not change their approach to the chaos, they will be fully ignored and overridden by the public.

Good comment. It’s something like the Germans who supported the Nazi Party for some “good” reason. Hitler was going to restore Germany to its rightful place in the world, or whatever.

Then the next thing you know, Allied bombers are over your city.

Belfast has seen entirely too much of “trouble”.

Perhaps the Protestants and the Catholics can join forces, instead of trying to destroy each other.

“Muslims and Islam do NOT integrate or assimilate”

Not just muslims......few immigrants do assimilate here.

Teddy Roosevelt wrote about that very subject a long time ago.....he said if immigrants don’t assimilate and become Americans only it’s not gonna work.....well, they’re not and it ain’t.

Where’d he get all the money from to open multiple shops?

In case you’re wondering i am being careful with my comments/words because the PM has made it clear they’re going after people online so there is a chilling effect in place

I could without a knock but most people don’t care now and you see that in the streets

They say over 400 arrests now

HA! Good luck. Back in the 80s I followed that subject as closely as I could through the news and newspapers.....after a couple of years it wore me out.

Got a buddy that all his relatives live in County Londonderry. From what he tells me the Protestants and Catholics aren’t any closer to reconciling than they were back then.

It’s been too engrainned for too many generations.

Native populations tend to dislike colonizers.

Good. Go. Although the fact that a PRODUCTIVE member of that group was targeted rather than the scumbags that outnumber him by 100000. Of course the weak stupid natives are too afraid of those that fight back. And, like England, they need to hang the traitors in government first, then peacefully remove the mooselimbs.

The children who were stabbed to death had their lives ended, not just threatened.
