Sara, get a clue. Anyone paying attention to this story knows the riots were started by Afro-Caribbean blacks, and chav/thug/anarchist whites jumped on the bandwagon. If anything, the UK Muslims have been a force for order. Which isn’t to say that don’t create their own problems, just that this story isn’t one of them.
Gotta agree with that.
Our main local shop is run by a Muslim family, who are also good friends and hugely active in the community, including church fundraising and church groups. It’s just that sort of area. The Catholics support and raise money for the mosque to send kids to the seaside for a holiday too. We look out for each other. That is what a community does.
And they have been a focal point for the entire community defence effort.
I know talking in defense of Muslims risks me getting asked for the zot by some of the more zealous members here - but this is not a religious thing.
This is jackals and scum against people who believe in working, paying taxes (ok, fairly grudgingly) and doing the best for their community they possibly can. Being a part of and supporting the community.
Scum who believe that they don’t need to work for what they want, but can just take it need not apply here. Scum who view a community as prey.
So please. I ask respectfully - don’t paint them all with the same brush. Just this once.
