Aye, smash those pakis, that'll show em! :downs:
Fucking mongos.
islamic bloody wankers
Why are these attacks classed only as hate crimes whereas the Woolwich murder is supposedly terrorism
muslamic rayguns
An Indian restaurant near me got attacked, some of the windows are boarded up and they've just painted "sorry we are closed" on the boards
Its fucking disgusting and embarrassing.
Muslim extremists attack citizens because they think we hate them all, islamophobes attack Muslims because they think they hate us all.
And the real victims in the process are just the peaceful citizens who want to be left alone :(

"Terrorism is the systematic use of terror, often violent, especially as a means of coercion."
As the guy had a political objective and he clearly spread terror, I would say it was terrorism.
What the fuck UK
I am dissapointed

This is more than islamophobia then, more like racism.
[QUOTE=FlashMarsh;40776965]it's almost as if they didn't realise that indians are hindu[/QUOTE]
a significant chunk of Indians (~14%) are Muslims. besides that, it is probably difficult for many to distinguish visually between Indians and Middle-Easterners.

The idiots are probably attacking [I]anyone[/I] with dark skin, sadly. That's the kind of stupidity you get with bigots.
[QUOTE=AK'z;40777000]This is more than islamophobia then, more like racism.[/QUOTE]
with a religion so commonly associated with certain races, that's all it ever really comes down to
[QUOTE=James*;40776813]Why are these attacks classed only as hate crimes whereas the Woolwich murder is supposedly terrorism[/QUOTE]
Because there's a difference in the intention of the criminal act.

NOT THE CURRY HOUSE NOOO DELICIOUS SAMOSAS
Shame there is people who can't keep their opinions on a democratic level.
[QUOTE=James*;40777318]Okay but then why isn't the attacks on Muslims also terrorism[/QUOTE]
Because it isn't terrorism.
[QUOTE=Scot;40777461]Because it isn't terrorism.[/QUOTE]
Really? Because it sure seems to be causing an awful lot of terror among Britan's Muslim communities.
I hope this whole conflict doesn't go all 1992 LA riots.

Terrorism is conflict with political/coercial influence in mind.
You're giving these guys too much credit.

Unless their political/coercial influence is "Scaring the dirty brownies out of my god given country", which I'm pretty sure is a significant portion of the follow up violence. The people committing these hate crimes are boneheaded xenophobic racists who attack brown people because a Muslim did a bad thing
That's exactly what I'm trying to say, they're attacking people out of pure anger and stupidity. They don't have coercial means in mind at all.
[QUOTE=Scot;40777461]Because it isn't terrorism.[/QUOTE]
Because only Muslims commit terrorism right

I still think they're committing these crimes both as a hate-blind response to the terrorist attack and as a sort of scare tactic to drive brown people out of Britian. Given that the BNP and the EDL have had a heavily rumoured presence, I wouldn't think it that far fetched.
[QUOTE=James*;40777571]Because only Muslims commit terrorism right[/QUOTE]
I never said anything about that? Terrorism can be about politics too, just look at the Oklahoma bombing.
What do you expect? When a population shows severe issues with integration into a country they immigrated into, they will be rejected by the majority of the population. And no, the British don't have to conform to their ideals.
