left residents living in fear
Leicester had been upheld a one of the UK's most successful multi-cultural communities in Great Britain But violence erupted in the past few days with 25 police officers being injured and 47 arrests made in the city Riots blamed on a cricket match between India and Pakistan, but Nick Fagge says Leicester is a 'tinderbox' This week 200 Muslim men protested at in Birmingham against Hindu woman linked to extremism in India After the most recent clashes in Leicester, MailOnline sent reporter Nick Fagge inside a city at war
Until a few weeks ago Leicester was held up as one of our most successful diverse communities, a shining example of multicultural Britain.
England's 11th largest city, where some 70 languages were spoken and people of all faiths, be they Muslim, Hindu, Sikh or Christian, had lived peacefully as neighbours, with tolerance and understanding, since the early 1960s when new arrivals had first begun to flock there from India and Pakistan.
But shocking images of sectarian violence and masked hate mobs on the streets in recent days, with repeated clashes between angry young men, has exposed the simmering, underlying tensions between the city's different cultures.
Ostensibly, the riots - which just this weekend led to 25 police officers being injured and 47 people being arrested - were blamed on a cricket match between India and Pakistan.

Those crazy Brits. </sarcasm>
Diversity is strength?
I see multiculturalism is working out quite well in the UK.
DIE-versity is strength. Come on mannnnnn!
History has shown that two (or more) cultures can not co-exist unless one is much stronger (dominant) over the other. Conflicts come about when the relative strength between the two get closer to being equal.
Diversity is NOT a culture’s strength, it is a weakness.
Dang! What wave length are you using? 😂🙌
Islam can't even live in peace with Islam.
The world must eliminate Islam if humans are to survive.
What about Yugoslavia? Wait, never mind.
Diversity is NOT a strength. Leftists have lied to get us to willingly murder our own kind.
Maybe King Charles should travel to Leicester, and give a speech about the dangers of Climate Change. That should get everyone pulling together and focused on a common problem.
Never met a Sikh I didn’t like. Good people, tough as nails and not scared if sh!t.
Brits made a ridiculously complicated game. Various wogs learned it, and kept their unique cultural inclinations. What could go wrong? BTW, whose mess is that abomination called soccer?
Shades of the Old Firm Derby in Glasgow between Celtic and Rangers, between Irish fans.
Well I did, once. But he did fail the training.
At one time, not sure of the truth, but I remembered more Muslims are killed by other Muslims for various reasons, like Shiite vs Sunni, etc....
I say stay out of their way and let them fight it out then worry about what happens.
Import Third World
Become Third World
What they need to is to become even diversier
I'm gonna call BS. They likely did not live happily together at all - its just that until recent years, there were relatively few of them in Leicester, and so many native english (whites), that they followed the rules and norms of the dominant British culture.
Now that dominant culture has dissolved, their 1200 year old enmities can come to the fore.
