Luton UK: Police cover up minor race riot?

Posted on by

If indeed this is how it looks, one can rest assured had non ‘Asians’ randomly attacked Muslims etc. it would not only not be covered up, it would be very widely used as a way of discrediting some political parties and advancing others. First, a scan of the newspaper article from Aug. 19

x-race-riot

This is a very serious allegation, so while it may appear that I am being overly cautious in my language, it is because if it is true that police and the state did cover up this outrage, people have a right to treat the state as hostile to the people of England. This is very, very serious. If it is not true, if this ‘race riot’ did not happen, then whoever began this rumor is guilty of a serious crime.

Other links to this story:

uapengland:

Digitalspy has more info about the paper etc:

Most other links I have found are redundant. I have not yet found any first hand accounts yet. This is developing and again, should be treated with caution. Lionheart has this story up and he is very cautious and a reliable source as well as a well motivated one. Lionheart has worked hard to distance himself from the unsavory elements of the ‘Anti Jihad’ and is worthy of respect and has earned credibility on this.

The paper is reputed to be ‘The London Sun, Aug 17 page 25’

There is nothing in the online edition. This is strictly the print version which carried this story.

We will of course, update this as more information becomes available. Indeed, I hope this is a hoax. If it is true that the UK actively works to keep the people of England selectively ignorant for whatever ostensibly noble sounding reason, there may well be a certain tree that needs watering with a certain liquid from free men and tyrants in the U.K.

According to a Vladtepes source in the UK:

The Muslims attacked (the pub) twice, the first time they were beaten off, but they returned.  The police make no arrests and just harassed the local (non ‘Asian’) Brits.

Fears of more violence prompt march ban in Luton:

‘We had no alternative’ say police and councilRiot: How the May 'anti-extremism' event turned out

View Gallery Published Date: 21 August 200

‘We had no alternative’ say police and council

The Home Office has issued a ban on any unofficial marches taking place in Luton for the next three months.

The ban was granted to Beds Police and Luton Borough Council, who feared a planned ‘anti-extremism’ march on September 19 would mean a repeat of violent scenes from earlier in the year.

Several ‘marches’ have taken place in Luton in response to disruption caused by Islamic extremists at the homecoming parade for the 2nd Battalion of the Royal Anglian Regiment, nicknamed the Poachers, on March 10.

The most recent, in May, saw protestors clash with police and cause damage to cars and a takeaway shop. A man was also assaulted.

The ban, granted under the Public Order Act, prohibits “any procession or march involving members or supporters of, but not limited to, the English Defence League, UK Casuals United, March For England and United People of Luton” from marching in the town without having made a formal application to Luton Borough Council.

The English Defence League is behind the September 19 event, postponed from the August Bank Holiday weekend, but they have not applied for permission to hold the event.

The league’s members want to march in protest at the fact that Luton was not included in the battalion’s ‘All the 4s’ 10-day charity march through several towns and cities, which ends in Hertford on Sunday.

Chief Superintendent Andy Frost, Divisional Commander for Luton, said a significant police presence would be in place to uphold the ban, adding: “The risk the proposed marches pose to public safety has left us with no alternative but to apply for a banning order.”

Sectarian violence hits Pakistani town

More on last weeks slaughter of Christians by Pakistani Muslims.

Of course it is bad that Christians died,” he added. “But they provoked the Muslims here. I don’t understand why everyone is on their side.”

On a street in the small Punjabi town of Gojra, house after house stands gutted and looted.

Hameed family. Father, son and relative.

Hameed family. Father, son and relative.

BBC NEWS…One home in particular is the focus of attention. The windows and doors are gone, what is left of the furniture lies gnarled inside, and some of the ceilings have collapsed. People are peering into a small bedroom at the back of the building.

It is from here that the charred bodies of six members of the Hameed family, from Pakistan’s minority Christian community, were recovered. The youngest of the dead was four-year-old Mousa.

We found his father, Almass Hameed, 49, in a crowded hospital ward nearby.

‘Shocked and crying’

“He was such a bright boy. His teachers complained that he was cheeky at times, but nobody could doubt how clever he was. But now he’s gone,” Mr Hameed said, breaking down.

He described how an angry Muslim mob came through the area, known here as the Christian Colony.

“I think there were thousands,” he said. “My elderly father went out to see what was happening and they shot and killed him. We were all shocked and crying. Before we knew it, they were breaking into the house.”

Mr Hameed explained how he and nine other members of the family hid in the bedroom as the house was over-run.

“We could hear them smashing everything and dividing our belongings amongst themselves,” he said. “Then they started beating on the door saying they would teach us a lesson and burn us alive.”

Soon after, a fire was raging through his house.

“We just couldn’t breathe,” he said. “I grabbed my eldest son and managed to get out of the room through the flames, my brother came out with one of my daughters, but the rest were stuck and we had no way of rescuing them.”

As well as his father and Mousa, Mr Hameed lost his 11 year-old daughter, his wife, a brother, a sister-in-law and her mother.

“It was like the most horrific movie. They destroyed our lives.”

‘Fired shots’

Tensions had risen after allegations that Christians in the nearby village of Korrian had torn up and burnt pages of the Koran at a wedding a few days earlier.

They started it,” 19-year-old Omar Ali Raza said in Gojra’s marketplace.

“We Muslims are the victims. We gathered to protest about what they did to the Koran in Korrian and just wanted to walk through their area, but they threw stones at us and fired shots.”

“Of course it is bad that Christians died,” he added. “But they provoked the Muslims here. I don’t understand why everyone is on their side.”

But an elderly Muslim man passing by interrupts. “The responsibility is with the one who actually burns the Koran, not all Christians,” he said. “Here, we live together, and there were no problems before this.”

As it happens, a local police chief, Ahmed Javaid, said he believed that the claim that Christians desecrated the Koran was not true in the first place. Continue Reading →

Angry ‘youth’ trash French suburb:

Is this even news anymore? From the BBC

Paris suburb youths fight police

French riot police near a burning car in Bagnolet, Paris, 11 August 2009
It was the second night of clashes in the eastern Paris suburb

Angry youths have clashed with riot police in the eastern Paris suburb of Bagnolet after a young motorcyclist died fleeing police on Sunday.

Police said the 18-year-old died after crashing into a metal barrier, but locals said he was hit by a police car.

Demonstrators hurled stones at police and torched several vehicles.

The violence came despite an appeal for calm by French Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux, who ordered an internal police investigation into the death.

The administrative centre of the region, just east of Paris, said the situation was under control despite the scattered arson attacks.

Arrests had been made, it said, without specifying how many.

On Sunday night, dozens of youths hurled petrol bombs at police and torched dozens of cars in outrage at the young pizza delivery man’s death.

Racist attack on white man in UK

Posted on by

“A gang of ethnic minorities,either Pakistani muslims or Afro-caribbeans attack a white kid at a demo held by The English defence league against Muslim extremism.As you can see this small white guy was brutally attacked by dozens of them and left laying on the ground while muslims gathered around him gloating in joy with their camphones.

This is the Britain that Labour has created.

This demo had nothing to do with the BNP yet the UAF thugs were there to stir up tensions and cause trouble by shouting BNP and stoking the flames of the crowds.

May I repeat,this was not a BNP demonstration despite the best efforts of the UAF fascists to purport that is was a BNP demo.”

Blasphemy laws, a pretext to attack Pakistan’s religious minorities

Posted on by

by Fareed Khan-AsiaNews.it
PAKISTAN_(F)_0702_-_Muslims_attacked_100_Christian_homes_after_alleged_blasphemy_(350_x_294)The official death toll in the Gojra massacre now stands at eight. A 35-year-old man succumbs last night to injuries he sustained during the attack by Muslim fundamentalists. Rights activists and minority leaders believe the government condones such attacks by tolerating laws that punish offences against Islam. The Catholic Church of India and Geneva-based World Council of Churches express their solidarity with fellow Christians in Pakistan.

Lahore (AsiaNews) – Pakistan’s parliament has unanimously condemned the attacks against Christians as an inquiry gets underway to quickly find the culprits. Pakistan’s President Asif Ali Zardari announces a compensation package for victims’ families. In spite of all of this Pakistani Christians continue to endure violence and discrimination as the death toll in Gojra rose to eight. For human rights activists and minority leaders blasphemy laws are the cause of the problem.Last night a private TV station announced that a 35-year-old Christian man succumbed in Gojra hospital to the injuries he sustained last Saturday, when a Muslim mob went out of control and attacked the local Christian community.
Federal Minorities Minister Shahbaz Bhatti and Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer handed a preliminary report to President Asif Ali Zardari on the recent riots in Gojra where a semblance of calm is in place following the massive deployment of security forces.

 

For his part President Zardari announced that families that lost a member would get 500,000 rupees (US$ 6,000) as compensation, whilst families that lost their homes, torched by Muslims extremists using a special fuel, would get 300,000 rupees (US$ 3,600). Continue Reading →

Blackout: Violence in France

From the desk of Tiberge on Sat, 2009-07-18 11:20
The French Interior Ministry has issued orders to the prefects not to communicate to the media the crime statistics for the nights of July 13-15. The cartoon at the top shows Marianne, the woman symbolizing the French Republic, watching the “official” weather report, “More sun tomorrow” it says, as it pours outside. Le Monde has a long article about the news blackout:

[…] Only the figures for the night of July 13-14 were published: “Some 500 vehicles” were burned, the worst ever recorded for the eve of the national holiday. Despite repeated requests to the Interior Ministry, and the DGPN [similar to the FBI], no figures were forthcoming for the night of July 14-15. These orders have been strictly applied. The different prefectures contacted by Le Monde refused to respond, citing “ministerial instructions.” Regional news media reported the same problem. The daily La Provence issued an unofficial report that was much less favorable than 2008: 41 cars and a day-care center in Marseilles burned. […]

Other local papers describe the same problems. In Reims, the daily L’Union denounces the attitude of the authorities: “Yesterday morning, every journalist who came, even for the smallest piece of news, to the firemen, or gendarmes or police, heard the same answer: ‘No fires’. In fact, the truth is quite different. Some of those we questioned admitted under their breath: ‘We cannot say anything about the fires. We have received orders.” In Lyons, the daily Le Progrès reports the same blackout: “Orders not to speak on the radio were given to firemen, gendarmes and police.”

In previous years the radio network Europe 1 had systematically called the prefectures to verify the official counts. On January 1, 2008, the DGPN reported 372 burnt cars for New Year’s Eve vs 746 reported by Europe 1. Finally the ministry of the interior admitted that there had been 878 fires. “Instructions” given to the prefectures henceforth forbid this type of verification.


Some bits of news have leaked through. An article at the conservative blog François Desouche (based on a report in the newspaper Le Parisien) describes the use of firecrackers against the police, in the suburb of Tremblay-en-France, department of Seine-Saint-Denis. This was the second time in a few weeks that police on patrol were drawn to a group of youths. Masked by their clothing they threw firecrackers and rocks at the police.

Also, in the city of Evry, four or five large packs of firecrackers were stolen by a group of hooded individuals who broke into the fair grounds thanks to the inadequate number of guards. Agnès Moutet-Lamy, the spokesman for the Socialist mayor made light of the event: “That can always happen. There’s nothing to worry about.” However, Jean-Charles Béraud, an expert in pyrotechnics, stated that firecrackers “can become a monstrously dangerous weapon. A mortar can be propelled 120 meters and create an explosion 80 meters in diameter. It can kill someone. Even one large firecracker can rip apart a hand.”

Using the daily La Provence as its source, another article at François Desouche relates the violence in Marseilles on the night of July 14: A fire ravaged 5 hectares close to residences.
Two helicopters pouring water on the fire and a fierce battle waged by the marine firemen were needed to bring the fire under control. A day-care center was partially burned. A row of cypress trees bordering a nursery school went up in smoke. One individual was arrested as he threw rockets on the marine firemen who had come to put out a trash can fire. Fires were set in the four corners of one neighborhood, while trash cans and cars burned in others, notably with the help of Molotov cocktails. While the firemen went on one call after the other, the police fell into what appears to be an ambush. Bullets were fired at them and diverse projectiles were thrown in their direction. One policeman was slightly injured by a rock. The anti-crime brigade arrested one individual in possession of a 22-caliber rifle.

France holds on to the gold in the car burning event.

Posted on by

For a while there, it looked like Muslims in Greece and Sweden may pull ahead of France on the coveted Islamic Olympics car burning event. The night of July 14th though made sure France stayed far in the lead with a stunning 317 automobiles torched on the one night. Not even close to the well over a thousand France can brag about from end of 2008, but still a respectable auto-arson by any standard. Or even automatic.

(ANSAmed) – PARIS, JULY 14 – Some 317 automobiles were burnt last night in Paris on the eve of Bastille Day. The number of vehicles burned, according to an initial police estimate, was up 6.73% compared to the previous years. This type of violence and vandalism have become a sort of “fashion” for youths in the hinterlands of large cities during holidays, particularly that at year’s end. On the night of last December 31, a total of 1,147 cars were burned, up 30.64% compared to the previous year. (ANSAmed).

CBC: China closes mosques to stop ‘ethnic’ unrest.

China orders mosques closed amid ethnic unrest

Mosques in the riot-hit capital of China’s northwestern Xinjiang province have been ordered to stay closed for Friday prayers in the wake of recent ethnic violence, media reports quoted Chinese officials as saying.

An official who identified herself as a government worker but refused to give her name was quoted as saying the decision to close mosques in Urumqi had been made for public safety and that “people should stay at home today and pray.”

Separately, officials in the province’s southwestern city of Kashgar have told visiting journalists that they and other foreigners had to leave the city.

The city’s foreign affairs office said that although the city has had no unrest, the decision was made to ensure the safety of the visitors.

At least 156 people have died in ethnic violence between Han Chinese and minority Muslim Uighurs in Xinjiang since Sunday.

The protests started in Urumqi, when demonstrators gathered to demand justice for two Uighurs killed in June during a fight with their Han co-workers at a factory in southern China.

Officials have said that more than 1,000 have been injured and about 1,400 have been detained.

Hundreds of vehicles, stores and street vendor stalls were also damaged or set ablaze during the protests, officials said.

In response to the riot, hundreds of Han Chinese rampaged through the city Tuesday with sticks and meat cleavers, looking for Uighurs and revenge.

The Uighurs, an ethnically Turkic, predominantly Muslim group, make up the majority in Xinjiang.

Their relations have often been tense with the ethnic Han Chinese who predominate in the country. Many Uighurs feel they’re discriminated against by the government in Beijing and a Uighur separatist movement has existed for decades.

Youths riot in French town over death in custody

Posted on by

Another multiculturalism success story.

LYON, France (Reuters) – Youths in the southeastern French town of Firminy burned cars and destroyed a social centre on Wednesday night as protests over the death in police custody of a young man continued for a second night.

Around 200 riot police were deployed into the early hours on Thursday, with a helicopter circling overhead as groups of young people set fire to rubbish bins before moving on to torch cars and the social centre.

The protests followed the death on Wednesday of Mohamed Benmouna, a local man arrested for attempted extortion, who fell into a coma after what police said was a suicide attempt and died several hours later.

Benmouna’s family have expressed scepticism over the explanation by police who said he had used cords from a mattress to hang himself.

The state prosecutor in Saint-Etienne, the nearest major city, rejected suggestions of police abuse but said video surveillance equipment that would normally have filmed Benmouna’s cell was not functioning properly.

An autopsy has been ordered and an inquiry into the case opened by the IGPN, the police inspectorate.

Nine people were arrested on Wednesday after a night of violence on Tuesday evening when Benmouna was still alive but in a coma following the incident.

Anti-riot troops confront Uighur protesters in Urumqi

Jane Macartney, China Correspondent


Police fought to restore order last night after thousands of members of China’s Muslim Uighur minority rampaged through city streets, burning vehicles and blocking traffic.

At least three people were killed in a rare outburst of violence in Urumqi, the capital of China’s restive westernmost region of Xinjiang, where many Uighurs chafe at Beijing’s rule and the limits imposed on their religion and cultural traditions.

Witnesses said that up to 3,000 rioters went on the rampage, smashing buses and overturning police barricades during several hours of violence.

Thousands of police and anti-riot troops later swept through the city, using teargas and water hoses to disperse crowds. “Now the whole city is on lockdown,” one witness said.

The violence flared days after reports of ethnic clashes between Han Chinese and Uighur workers at a toy factory in the southern Guangdong province in which two Uighurs were killed and 188 wounded.

In the late-night brawl at the Early Light toy factory in Shaoguan city, a group of Han Chinese fought with Uighurs who had been recruited to the factory recently. A rumour that Uighur workers had raped two Han Chinese girls brought swift and violent retaliations from the Chinese workers. Continue Reading →

Protestors break into Iranian embassy in Sweden

Angry demonstrators broke into the Iranian Embassy outside Stockholm on Friday, climbing in through shattered windows and injuring one embassy worker, police said.

More than 150 people had gathered outside the embassy to protest against the Iranian regime, when some of them attacked the building with rocks and tore down a fence to enter the embassy grounds, police spokesman Ulf Hoglund said.

“A few managed to climb through broken windows into the building,” Hoglund said.

He said one member of the embassy staff was injured inside the building, but didn’t know how seriously.

Fifty police officers and an ambulance were dispatched to the scene. Hoglund said police had evicted the demonstrators from the building and arrested one person.

Organizers of the demonstration said a few of the protesters were injured in clashes with the embassy’s security officers.

“We want a regime change,” said Firouzeh Ghaffrpour, one of the organizers. “The Islamic system is not wanted by the people of Iran.”

The protesters, mostly Iranians, also demanded the embassy be closed.

Police said the situation was under control later Friday, but demonstrators continued to block the entrance, preventing embassy personnel from leaving.

The protest followed several peaceful demonstrations in Sweden after President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was re-elected in a June 12 vote that the opposition claims was marred by massive fraud. Continue Reading →
