Mosque attack in Birmingham

Two men have been arrested in relation to a series of attacks on mosques in Birmingham.

Five mosques had windows smashed on Thursday and a man aged 34 from Perry Barr later handed himself into police.

A 38-year-old man from Yardley who was arrested earlier after being detained by members of the public has been released without charge.

The second man remains in custody on suspicion of racially aggravated criminal damage.

The mosques that had their windows smashed were:

Witton Islamic Centre in Witton Road, Aston
Jame Masjid in Birchfield Road, Perry Barr
Jam-E-Masjid Qiblah Hadhrat Sahib Gulhar Shareef in Slade Road, Erdington
Masjid Faizul Islam on The Broadway, Aston
The Muslim Community Centre Aston, in Albert Road, Aston

It's always fun to watch extremists fight with each other :biggrin:

This isn't the time to joke around. It's to make a stand and unite together to prevent anything like this happening again.
I'm so scared it's literally freaking me out.
I'm a Muslim and i feel fearful.

'Racially aggravated.' So Muslims are a race according to UK law? Shouldn't it be 'religiously aggravated' or is that not a thing?

I bet relations could be improved with perhaps tolerance lessons... Oh wait.

Oh well if you live in the UK you have to accept it considering that most of the population are not Muslim. If you are female then don't wear a headscarf, simple. You have to understand and accept that there are people that hate Muslims and if you want to keep practicing as a Muslim then you will have to take extra precautions.

When you say unite together, you aren’t talking about whites, Christians, Jews or LGBT of course. Just Muslims and the deluded far-left.

Why would the LGBT want to unite with homophobia?

When Muslims and LGBT come together people tend to start, err, 'falling' from buildings...

Or it starts raining cats and dogs... stones, bricks, knives and bombs.

good that they have been arrested - did think at the time that calling in the Anti -Terrorism task force for some broken windows was a tad over the top.
they werent even scrambled during the islamist knife attacks at london bridge

This is ridiculous. Retaliation fuels more retaliation and no one gets anywhere. How many more dead bodies do we need to realise this.

Victim-blaming at its finest. Would you tell Christians being attacked in a Muslim-majority to “accept it” and that “these things happen” ?

You tell Christians in Muslim majority countries to get out while you still can.

It's pretty sick how little people care about innocent lives being taken.

Well, to sane and secular people this is obvious, but you cannot be tolerant and tolerate the intolerant at the same time. Or to simplify, should you tolerate a belief system that has not tolerating you, as one of it's core concepts?

No, but your post puts the onus on the Christians for being Christians instead of ideology of Islam for persecuting them. There’s a difference between a few broken windows and a hanging btw lol. If you can’t see the difference all the more pity to you
