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?

Would you believe it, on the way back from the shops, I was confronted by a bunch of white thugs, shouting "Paki murderer", "Terrorist", and the like. Thankfully the locals (Sikhs) came to my aid. Someone tell me, just what am I supposed to do? As I am mentioned before, I may be brown, but I'm not a muslim. Why is it suddently my fault? Because it's RACISM rather than "ISLAMOPHOBIA" at work. In the eyes of these kind of white thugs, all brown people are muslim, and all muslims are terrorists, simples.

I should also point out that these "protests" may claim to be "Anti-Islamist", but I can assure you from personal experience that is simply not the case. I have witnessed these English thugs attack anyone who is brown, regardless whether they are Islamist, Muslim or not.

@bigfujiyama: It couldn't be a worse time to be brown/black in UK at the moment, regardless whether you are Muslim,Atheist,Christian,Buddhist,Hindu or Rastafarian, an immigrant or UK national at birth. I myself am a brown Atheist born in the UK, but have faced the brunt of apparently being a "Muslamic Terrorist" or "Paki paedo", when I am not ofcourse being a "Job Stealer". You are totally helpless in this situation. Some non muslim asians have this idea that doing certain things will "spare" them the hatred of a white racist, such as wearing clothing with the Union Jack, going to pubs and drinking a lot, one even joined the racist EDL group. I however wouldn't do something like that for two reasons, 1) It won't work 2) I won't sell my soul.

Social media is absolutely rife with the kind of stuff you mentioned, one could call it almost fanatical, asking for all "pakis" to be burnt alive, etc. Personally, I fear for my life now. I don't know how many "Islamists" are out there who would want to kill me, but for sure there are far more racist whites waiting for any excuse to cause harm to someone like me, ie, not white.
