UK: Two "Asian youths" beat priest in his church, jeer at him for his faith

That is, two young Muslims, in British media Newspeak.

Welcome to the New Britain: "Priest hurt in faith-hate attack," from the BBC (thanks to all who sent this in):

A priest has been attacked in the grounds of his church, in what police described as a "faith-hate" crime.

Canon Michael Ainsworth, 57, was injured by two Asian youths at the church, in Tower Hamlets, east London.

Canon Ainsworth said a third youth watched as he suffered cuts, bruises and black eyes in the assault at the church of St George-in-the-East.

The youths also jeered at the priest for being a churchman in the attack on Wednesday night, the Met Police said....

This didn't take place in Egypt or Iraq . . .this heinous act took place in England!

Do Hindus, Jews or Buddhists have to build bridges or create interfaith dialogue with the indigent community? Obviously not.

One wonders what the Archdhimmi of Canterbury has to say now. [Gah!!!]

Well, the please-kick-my-ass-cause-I’m-so-tolerant island people will probably just blame themselves for not having more respect for Islam and increase Muslim immigration to show good faith.

Of course, there are a few grumpy Brits with no respect:

the pompous BBC-PCniks bend over forwards to not insult islamosupremacists by labeling them "Asians" -and in attempt to shade purely political-terrorism (disguised as "religion") into a matter of race

while at the same time slandering an entire race that in large part has nothing to do with the religion of hatred, violence, murder, ...

besides the enitre world knows exactly who the PCniks are writing about -no matter what the label

BBC - honest reporting? not!

BBC - Burqa Broadcasting Co.

It's funny how they think they're fooling people with the "Asians" Newspeak.

Funny and Pitiful.

The BBC didn't quite put I this way yesterday, this is how the mealy mouthed set of *$%$#@ put it. The way they put it is printed below. Also you can bet you life that they were not jeering, when they were kicking him. As for cuts and bruises,the East End Advertiser, the only other newspapers as far as I can make out that has covered the event and not covered it up, have a different take on the whole affair, this is what they have to say :-
One pensioner who contacted the Advertiser said: "This was a terrible attack on Canon Ainsworth in our churchyard. He was set upon by a gang of thugs there was BLOOD everywhere. All the church members are in shock by what happened.


A clergyman was attacked in the grounds of his church by two youths in what police are treating as a "hate crime".
Canon Michael Ainsworth, 57, also had his "OCCUPATION INSULTED" during the attack at St George-in-the-East Church in Shadwell, east London.
He was treated for cuts, bruises and two black eyes on 5 March.
A police spokesman said the three men, two of whom attacked the canon, were described as Asian and fled the scene by the time officers had arrived.

As a Brit I feel so angry, and what is sad and symbolic, is that before the war this was a Jewish area and not more than 100 yards from the Church is cable st. where in 1936 the local population mainly Dockers fought with the Jews to stop Mosley and his Fascist Black shirts holding a march. A right bloody affair it was too.

I am really tired of this 'asian' nonsense - asian can mean anything, including Chinese, Indians, Thais etc. When this label almost exclusively means Pakistani muslims. They are trying to appease muslims but will end up alienating all other entire minorities by labelling Paki rats as "South Asian"

Hi Darcy

The sad thing in the UK is that people are fooled by this reporting. They have been anaesthetised by the media over years. But should this attack have been committed by whites on a Imam, well, you can guess the rest.

Al Beebeecera's "Asian youths" angle - those nasty Chinese just cause trouble everywhere they go don't they?

I don't know if the media in the States is like the media in the UK, our media are controlled by marxists and will only report factually when it suits their multicultural, Brit-hating agenda.

Some of us are waking up to it but nowhere near enough as yet I'm sad to say.

I'm waiting to see if the Musli..er I mean Asians blame the priest for injuring the attackers' fists.

They'll sue the Priest for "hurt feelings".

FM, thanks for the Pat Condell link. OT, he speaks like Hugh writes. Hmmm, I wonder...

I have said it before and I will say it again.
The BBC have been infiltrated by islamists.
I know, I worked for them for 2 years and I have seen it first hand!
I resigned.
This is why you see "youths" in their reports (and now imprisoned islamists) on a happy paintballing outing.
A pathetic PR campaign by the very islamists themselves.
The BBC "reporter" Nasreen Suleaman, stated in a UK court of law that she didn't think she had to alert the authorities about these people, who subsequently went on to bomb the London transport network and failed - due to the mix not exploding as intended.
Like I have said before, if she thought these islamists frollicking away on a paintballing trip were purely innocent,I am the president of China.
Nasreen Suleaman and the BBC need to be seriously looked at.
Perhaps they are already.

Atheists wouldn't do this. Its so silly. There's only one group that would predictably do this.

Posted by: blackspot [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 15, 2008 12:40 PM

From here on, any reports of violence by "Asians" should automatically be assumed to be Muslims. You can bet your last dollar that had the attackers been Buddhists, Hindus or Christians that would have been part of the story.

the bbc makes me sick.

"The youths also jeered at the priest for being a churchman in the attack on Wednesday night, the Met Police said...."

That's BBC-speak for "The Muslim attackers cursed the priest for being a Christian as they beat him in the bloody, unprovoked attack on Wednesday night, the Met Police said...."

How much more can Britain take? The Muslims do their dirty deeds and the leftist media rides shotgun.

There needs to be some serious research into WHY the leftists in Britain continue to dominate the media. Is this what the government wants? Are they trying to keep the populace in line so as not to anger the Saudis? Why is the BBC so pro-Muslim as to downplay attacks in Britain, just as they always take the Muslim viewpoint on Israel and India? More and more, people can see through it and are increasingly angry at the constant deception.

Oh, its started folks. There, in a house of worship, a place of peace for anyone and everyone, the priest was killed.

British Indian Hindus, Sikhs, and Buddhists have had to put up with this for years. Read this article and the comments therein:

http://www.hinduvoice.co.uk/Issues/21/DurgaPooja.htm

A gang of Muslims invaded a Durga Pooja in Britain and attempted to destroy the idol. A few courages Hindu youths fought back and removed them from the premises.

Maybe priest ordered Chinese take-out and then wouldn't tip the "Asian" delivery boys?

Surely that's the logical explanation?

Or were they Paki yobs?

(When did Pakistan get off the Indian subcontinent and end up in "Asia"... usually associated with "Asiatic" peoples like the Chinese, Thais, Burmese, Tibetans, Cambodians, Vietnamese, Mongols, Koreans, and Japanese, etc.?)
