"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."

Jamestown1630 ~ For a lot of people, that's a death sentence.
One of my coworkers was deported back to Iran the day after the company we worked for was shut down.
No one, and I mean NO ONE, has heard any word from him since.
And importing Islam in to Christian nations is a death sentence.
I’m not sure what you mean.
Oh, boo hoo.
Go back home.
There is no hope in the UK of business owners defending their property (unlike the Rooftop Koreans in the LA riots and more recently in the BLM riots).
I’ve known people who came here seeking political asylum from real threats.
Do you think they should all just ‘go home’?
People seeking refuge from religious discrimination were among the first to come to the US.
I think your comment is ignorant and crude.
Computer entrepeneur and also a restaurnteur par excellence.

The mohammedan invasion is so much worse for the people there because their country is so small as is their native population.In addition, many of their towns are being run by mohammedan mayors and such.
100%
Let’s just hope they can spell better than you do...
esad, how’s that?
You - and some others here - know absolutely NOTHING about these men, their circumstances, or why they’ve been in Ireland for so long.
You know NOTHING except that a mob destroyed their businesses; but you’re willing to jump on the FR ‘Hate Train’, just because they’re Muslims.
That’s mindless.
Muslims/Islam is THE civilizational ‘Hate Train’, and you are an enabling super useful idiot.
Every Muslim, everywhere?
Again, you’re being mindless.
The United States has always recognized the value of the INDIVIDUAL, and I still do.
You seem to see everyone as members of - and force them into - ‘collectives’.
Human individuality doesn’t seem to matter to you.
YES, every Muslim everywhere ,
It IS Their Religion IDJIT !!!
Do you have a religion?
