No, it seems facile to you because you no doubt know very little about the religion itself.

Really, I think its a case of vicious hateful little s**ts, being c**ts. Racism / Nationalism is just one of the many 'defences' people will use to justify almost beating a boy to death for the 'audacity' of fleeing Iran. Its the kind of mentality that groups like the EDL and Britain First perpetuate and appeal to. I'm not sure there is any 'defence' for such an act. If we want to see who does what in terms of reported street crime then there are statistics available.

The point is that the posts made by the lefties on here before the ethnicity of the suspects was known, would not have been posted. Similarly Diane Abbott would not have made the comments she did, in the video linked to above, had she known the ethnicity of the suspects.

Exactly, but the usual suspects will do cartwheels to avoid admitting that. You know the drill.

Interesting to see how Sky and the BBC are now reporting this. Shall we see how many other news establishments now bury references to "Hate Crime" deep in their articles, rather than plaster it over their headlines? [Tweet Link] So Mrs Abbott, did the awfully racist white guys make the 'people of colour' join in ??

People involved in the extreme ends of the political spectrum, have a tendency towards violence, over political discourse, and some people are attracted to those groups because of the violence they offer, over anything else. Its always traditionally been more a problem with groups on the far right, in my experience (which is bias), like the EDL, NF and BNP, because of the focus of these groups specifically on what they don't like in society and their nationalism. I've known a few through AA, who's attraction really was the violence over the politics. That said, in the past its certainly the case that the far left in the UK hasn't been innocent of attracting thugs over political interest.

Of course, they'd have battered the poor lad for any convenient reason. But to some extent the referendum vote has brought some of the uglier side of British Nationalism to the fore. After all, its likely they consider the outcome as 'their victory', and feel emboldened by it, that it legitimises their view. Because that's what their interest really is in, themselves, their power and authority. They don't give a s**t about England or Britain, that they'd actually do something meaningful for the country. Just that it lets them wield fear, authority and legitimise their violence against others.

The point is that certain people want to use such an attack to highlight the apparent racism in Britain by white people, especially since Brexit. This is an example of left wing delusion v reality. I'll leave this here, as it seems apropos. I do hope our pearl-clutching race baiters read it

Ah, phew. They're still British, so there's still that to fall back on. Perhaps one or two voted for Brexit? Can only hope, eh?
