Asian = Muslim (in Britain)

May the next Vicar that these proud "Asian-Youth" attack be a fully qualified SAS Chaplain in Muffti.

Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Filipino, Korean, and other Asians are gonna have to stop the wussy media from describing hateful radical muslims as Asians.

[KenHorse]

Asian = Muslim (in Britain)

Not really. The term "Asian" in Britain refers to not only Orientals but Indians, Pakastanis and Middle Easterners as well.

Religion has nothing to do with it

[goodnesswins]

Soooo....do you think it was Indians, Pakastani’s or Middle Easterners (generic) who attacked this Vicar? Or MUSLIMS? I get your point....but, my point is they refuse to say MUSLIMS!

Indeed.....the 'venerable' BBC didn't even include any of the verbal quotes in their astonishingly abbreviated 'coverage', and only mentioned "Asian" in the very last paragraph.  That's one of the reasons why I included several sources and an addendum to the title in this post....you have to read several sources to put the picture together on this story.

Hmmm, where are all the posters from England who told me off, the other day ,how much better off England was than America on this problem....(crickets chirping...).You are done over their, stick a fork in Great Britain, I mean Little Britain.

Enoch Powell was right.

[vaudine]

That is splitting airs. Pakastanis, Indians and Middle Easterners in UK =Muslim. Calling these thugs Asian is insulting to Orientals.

KenHorse was pointing out that “Asian” means “Indian” or “Pakistani” or “Bangladeshi” in the UK. It does not in itself mean Muslim. I am sure that KenHorse realizes these yobs are Mulsims by what they shouted at the Anglican minister.

I saw an inspiring multi-part program (Discovery channel?  Not sure)  on SAS survival techniques, taught and hosted by SAS commandos....very entertaining and very impressive.  It seems that this Parish may indeed need to enlist their help one day.  "sigh"

I'm noticing that several of the 'news' articles on this story mention that 'calls have been made' to the senior muslim 'leadership' in the area for an official condemnation, but no response from them yet as far as I've seen.....

[rock_lobsta]

The youths are anti-Christian.

Along with most of the media, government, and the rest of the lefists.

No wonder these 'yobs' are so bold - they know (probably from their imams) that they won't be held accountable for their actions.

Sadly, our British Friends don't have that option.  They might try cricket bats at the moment, but if that proves to be an effective defense their Government will most likely ban them
