Title: Two Elderly Men Set Alight After Leaving a Mosque
Post by: Diasi on March 23, 2023, 08:25:59 AM
Being a born cynic I assumed that the offender wasn't a far-right white male because the media would have made racial capital out of it.

But I wonder how many people did jump to the immediate conclusion it must be a far-right white male.

Well those people are all wrong.

strange - I wonder if the suspect is one of those extremists who hate moderate Muslims as much as they hate us?

There are at least two muslim sects and naturally they hate each other so I imagine that is more likely than extremist muslim and moderate muslim.

The sunni and shia moslems would normally attend different mosques.

Mohammed Abkr (28) has been charged with attempted murder re the setting on fire of a moslem in Birmingham & a similar earlier offence in Ealing.

If I wanted to kill somebody, setting fire to them wouldn't be my chosen method ! in fact it wouldn't even enter my head.  What on earth is wrong with these people ? same with throwing acid in a woman's face - where did that come from ? certainly didn't read about these ' methods ' years ago.
 
My first thought was that a white person was the victim

Evil behaviour can happen anywhere, too much of it has been fuelled by religion over the ages.

The victims are a 70 year old and an 82 year old. I hope they throw the book at him!

I am afraid they are methods I have only heard used in India and Pakistan until recent times or maybe other countries around there, imported into "wonderful" multi cultural Britain.
