Rather unsurprisingly the backlash is well an truly under way. I've been called a "Paki Terrorist" numerous times and my friend has been beaten up by white racist thugs. Before you can say "you deserve it for being a muslim", let me point out a) I'm not a muslim b) I'm not a PAKIstani either (not that I could justify an attack against me if either of the two were correct). There's been plenty of white folk who have come out with the line "why don't the moderate muslims come out and condemn this" etc etc. Well we HAVE actually heard condemnation of this incident by "moderate muslims", perhaps it's time moderate white people came out and condemned the racist attacks by white people like those of the EDL? Or are the rules different?

Its pathetic that the people that Shoryuken is talking about can't comprehend that Islam isn't determined by a person's skin color. I remember in the US when the Sikh temple was attacked because of some racist twit unable to comprehend that one can't determine a person's religious ideology by their ethnicity.
