Police seeking man in Bradford for insulting Islam

Police are looking for a man who made derogatory statements about Islam while on a bus in Bradford.


"POLICE wish to speak to this man (right) after derogatory comments about Islam were made on a bus.

The incident, described as a public order offence by police, allegedly happened on the 576 Halifax to Bradford bus, between 10pm and 10.20pm on Thursday, January 8.
The man is said to have got on the bus and sat directly behind an Asian man, before muttering his comments.
The suspect is described as white, aged 40 to 50, about 5ft 8ins tall, and was wearing a black woolly hat and black jacket that may have had a bit of red on it."

Thanks for the extra link, will add it to OP.
And if a Muslim had got on the bus, sat directly behind a Christian and muttered derogatory comments about Christianity?

haha if I lived in Bradford, I think I'd take a negative view to muslims too.
Would they be looking to arrest someone if they made derogatory comments about the third reich and national socialism
It's nice to see the police do something useful rather than stop 1400 plus children getting raped in Rotherham.

Also the police are incredibly stupid if they didn't even bother asking someone accused of rape why they think they're innocent.

My opinion of this city is now even lower, hard to do after electing that poisonous MP who's name shall not be spoken.

Ha. The outskirts are actually pretty nice. Parents house is in BD11.

Can certainly confirm that Islamaphobia is pretty rife though. Not in terms of violence but comments from the people I've spoken to.

Bradford will put that number to shame if they ever investigate.

The inner city is full of estates with no go areas for both. Leeds Road has shootings, stabbings and Petty crime by Muslims.

Did/do you live in bradford?
Lol. Arrested for expressing freedom of speech.

I wonder if an Islamic gentleman would face the same treatment for criticizing the British government over the war in Iraq.

Parents lived in BD11 since 2000 though I moved to Leeds for uni. Outskirts are nice but the inner suburbs are festering pits of feces'. Other than the occasional trip to the city center I've always gone into Leeds for whatever I wanted to do.

It needs a niche, perhaps it should aim to get all the energy plants, water recycling ECT.. For the rest of Yorkshire. That might draw jobs.
