So many with an agenda here, every time a Muslim is involved or supposedly involved with a crime all the usual anti-Islam/Muslim bs comes out and takes over the thread, why should an entire religion be held accountable for the actions of one thug? Islam certainly has it's issues, no doubt about that, its attitudes towards homosexuality being a prominent issue, but as already said, there is nothing in Islam that condones attacking innocent people, gay or not.
I hope the attacker is harshly dealt with though, not just for the violence, but for the hatred as well, it has to be shown that this kind of hatred has absolutely no place in UK society, all gay couples should be able to hold hands or show affection towards each other in public just like any straight couple would, if anyone has a problem with that, then they probably shouldn't be visiting the 'gay' capital of Britain. But I certainly won't be joining in with the usual Muslim bashing because of the actions of one maniac out of millions, why do people respond to hate with hate? Two wrongs don't make a right.
