An Indian origin doctor in Britain was pelted with stones and verbally abused by a gang of youths in a racially motivated attack following the London bombings.
Yashen Maharaj, 28, who was attacked on July 23, had worked as part of Medway National Health Service Trust's standby team to treat victims of the July 7 London bombings.
"The doctor was verbally abused and more disturbingly had missiles, including large stones and rocks thrown at him, one of which hit the doctor on the back," a hospital spokeswoman said.
Maharaj continued to attend his duties but declined to talks to newsmen.
The spokeswoman said: "Fortunately, the doctor was not seriously injured in the incident, but was extremely shaken and dismayed."
"The racial abuse from the youths was particularly disgusting, as it was aimed at the very people who, on the day of the bombings, were on standby as part of the Trust's London Emergency Planning procedure and could potentially have been needed to treat the very same victims from the bombings," she said.
"The Trust would like to make it very clear that it will not tolerate any racial abuse on any of its staff on or off the hospital premises, particularly in the tensions following recent terrorist events in London," she said.
Oh, yeah, we're in effect saying on this thread, multi-culti works, you just haveta have "impressive brain power" to tell the Injuns from the muzzle limbs! Otherwise, it's regular paradise!
And most probably Pakistani.
"Ethic profiling an entire nation? "
Dont you guys make jokes on Hadji and Apu?
Thats news! Muslims rarely use Anglicised or European or Roman names. Of course, they do have Jewish names like Joseph and Abraham in the Islamic form of Youseph and Ibrahim.
Is this what you mean by "American" names? Most Muslims who follow Islam don't use any name other than those from the Koran.
Yep, some shanty white trash punks in Queens severely beat up a Sikh in Queens about 21/2 years ago calling him "Bin Laden."
Disregard previous FReepmail.
Misread what you had stated.
Indeed it is news.
Seems for a few years now the Nation of Islam was all the rage and converts did indeed change their names.
However, converts do not always join the NOI, and are not always changing their names.
This is just one that was reported. Many many others go quietly into the night
When the yobs and bovver boys go after the wogs, they really couldn't give a shit about the wog, whatever the religion. That's not why they're pounding the crap out of some poor schmuck - they crave the "ultra violence" as a precursor to the old "in-out" - it's like an aphrodisiac to them.
Yup, being called a Paki while getting stomped on is salt on the wound.
>>The two countries, Pakistan and Bangladesh, were establisted, by Partition in 1947, following riots, between the Hindus and Muslims....
Thanks for that concise and precise historical lesson.
Who says Americans don't know squat?
British trash culture--fatherless brats and their "Palestinian" friends. Some of them might soon participate in drunken football riots against various hosts while singing, "Rule Britannia."
I'd like to make that distinction, but in the middle of the night when the vigilantes are out... they will look for dark skin (like mine) or cloth on the heads, funny accents.. then the fighting starts...
it will boil down to the lowest common denominator.. skin color. that or religion...
Not true Turkish Muslims have names like Cem (pronounced Jem) and they have more latinized names. Kemal Pasha made sure of that.
Actually I had trouble after Sept 11, I was working late in my lab and was going home around 2 in the night and I was sorrounded by a group American students with baseball bats who luckily stopped to asked me my name and my nationality. Luckily my name was very Hindu (Hari Krishna cant get more Hindu) and I told them I was Indian.
But I was rattled, I have lived in Punjab in 80s and Kashmir in the 90s but I have not been quite that rattled.
Also its kind of ironic that a Sikh was killed being mistaken for Muslim after all Sikhism was formed to protect Hindus from Muslims if you remember history.
Thats really ironic because Sikhism as religion was formed to fight against the Muslim rulers of then Medieval India
