Muslim Graves Destroyed by Black Vandalists
In what seems to be a continuation of last month's violent events in Lozells, Birmingham, between 35 and 45 Muslim grave stones have been smashed and pushed over in nearby Handsworth Cemetery.
In what seems to be a continuation of last month's violent events in Lozells, Birmingham, between 35 and 45 Muslim grave stones have been smashed and pushed over in nearby Handsworth Cemetery.
The desecration was discovered on Friday morning, 4th November, by relatives visiting the Muslim part of the cemetery, as a tradition of the Muslim Eid.
Leaflets, with insults against Muslims, were also scattered. They were attributed to a group calling itself Black Nation. Roughly photocopied, the message seemed to refer to the so-far unsubstantiated rape rumour which led to the riots last month.
The police said the desecration is being treated "as racially aggravated criminal damage." The leaflets have been cleared away and will be forensically examined by the police.

Have you ever thought some one like the BNP could have done this, after all they have most to gain by stirring up hatred between two ethnic groups that they (the BNP) hate.
Just a thought.

The interesting thing for me was the news it was juxtaposed with - the arrest of three young muslims (after they'd been held without charge for TWO WEEKS) on terrorism charges with what seemed like very thin evidence - one of em had 'hospital=attack' written on a bit of paper which was presented to the public solemnly as evidence!
And the other item was a bunch of (no doubt unwittingly MI5 aided) white supremacists being sent to prison for expressing their pathetic opinions in magazines. One of em got some extra time for 'distribution of a DVD featuring Skrewdriver'.
If a psy-ops expert had programmed the news today I'd say that 'build up racial tension' was very much on the agenda.
