Reactions to the Birmingham Riots

Last weekend I posted about the confrontation between “anti-fascists” and anti-Islamization protesters in the city center of Birmingham in the English Midlands.

A British reader sent us some comments posted with two articles in The Birmingham Post about the riots. The reaction of Birmingham locals to violence of the Cultural Enrichers — and the blatant mendacity of the MSM — is scathing:

A commenter on the links to a local newspaper says:

Salma Yaqoob (Birmingham, Sparkbrook Ward, Respect Party) incited Muslims (and others) to violence in Birmingham on Saturday. I don’t know if you have seen the videos/film of Yaqoob raising her fists and screaming remarks at the mainly Muslim crowd. Almost immediately after this, the Muslim men began to riot and physically assault various Birmingham shoppers. The ‘BNP’, at that time, was at the other end of the city. She appears towards the end of this BBC video.

This commenter was actually there, and says:

One of the Islamist speakers, on Saturday night, began foaming and frothing about how some people had dared to say that ‘Islam is a wicked religion’. Then hundreds of Muslim men rampaged through the streets attacking innocent passers-by. That was a good way of showing non-Muslims that Islam is not wicked, wasn’t it? There is more of this. You often see this placard: ‘Behead those who say Islam is evil and violent.’ Most of the riots, acts of violence and ‘wickedness’ carried out by Islamists over the years, in Europe, have been ‘responses’ to non-Muslims saying that ‘Islam is wicked and violent’. I don’t think that these Islamists get the irony of their ‘responses’ to these criticisms.

Finally, a Mr. Walsh says:

So this is the truth of why i was nearly beaten up last Saturday whilst shopping with my wife. I was confronted by a dozen or so asian youths who accused me of being BNP, and started to bear down on me, luckily my wife came around the corner and they dispersed.

I am not BNP, i and my wife after finishing work, were innocent late night shoppers caught up in the middle of this violence.

Why are this UAF group allowed to march when all they stand for are violence and racism. I have heard of the National Front and the BNP, but i have never seen either side behave the way these thugs acted.

We were so disturbed i told one officer about the confrontation and was told “don’t be a part of the problem”! While walking back to the car we saw a young white youth apparently unconscious on the floor, police by his side, with a group of youths holding UAF banners sniggering and pointing at the young lads predicament.

At no time did i see any BNP or National Front banners or literature, so who were these thugs protesting against?

This seemed like a motiveless race related riot against any white person they saw.

Councillor Yaqoob should be banned for her incitement in this event of public disorder.

It seems as though Councillor Yaqoob is inciting much of the violence. Anyhow, read the comments on the two articles for yourself, they tell a very different story to the one the BBC and national MSM do.

The first is an apology from a member of the EDL but the comments following seem to suggest that UNITE AGAINST FASCISM are becoming a very extreme left wing organisation. And funded by the Labour, Conservative and the Liberals.
