Mister M Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I do know that on the continent of Asia itself there have been historic feuds between Pakistanis and Muslims, some of it relating to the partition of India and the conflict regarding Kashmir. Why this should inflame tensions between the 2 communities thousands of miles away, is anyone's guess. However, some people who are angry use the tensions as a peg to hang their aggression on, would be my guess. 7 minutes ago, Jack Grey said: Youre wrong I think they made a lot of effort to be friends with underage working class white girls In poor taste.

It doesn't get swept under the carpet. I remember that the 2005 riots in Birmingham were reported on extensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall someone posting about a riot that got little media attention. I did hear something on the news the other day about rioting in Leicester but I didn’t know the full story of the cause of the unrest. I know more about what has happened after reading top4718’s post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the United States the increase in out and out racism that Asian people, especially those that own/run shops and businesses, experience from black people in particular, is out of this world. Same as a lot of stories - some are considered newsworthy, others aren't.

It’s the linkage between an ethnic group and a world religion (as you have done) that does nothing for social cohesion either. Try checking out the worldwide spread of the Muslim religion.Pakistan is not even the largest Muslim country. How many of these criminal gangs are practising Muslims? Would you refer to criminal white ethnic groups as Christians? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snipped I'm mearly using the same words mainstream media use on the rare occasion they mention it. They are not my words. However, they are accurate. 6 minutes ago, RJRB said: Snipped Would you refer to criminal white ethnic groups as Christians? Yes, if they were Christians. Just as I always mention religion when talking about Catholic priests noncing kids. What's your point? I get the feeling you are suggesting I have some anti Muslim bias?

I don’t know your motivation for doing this but merely repeating a source without question shows a lack of judgement on your part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
