Two more “Islamophobic” hate crimes turn out to be something else altogether. One might almost get the impression that anti-Muslim hate crimes hardly ever occurred (and shouldn’t, of course), were it not for our moral superiors constantly assuring us otherwise.
“UK police question suspect after elderly Muslim set alight,” Al Jazeera, March 22, 2023:
…“The two recent deeply troubling incidents where two elderly Muslims have been set on fire as they left mosques are shocking,” Iman Atta, head of Tell Mama, a hate crime monitor, told Al Jazeera.
“We ask all communities to remain alert and vigilant whether at a mosque or in a public area. This is especially the case because Ramadan is just around the corner and the safety and security of our communities remains a key priority.”…
Oops.
“Moment man is arrested by counter-terror cops in Birmingham after ‘setting a Muslim on fire outside mosque before trying to return the next day’ – as police probe whether it is linked to separate attack in London,” by Chris Matthews and Andy Dolan, Daily Mail, March 22, 2023:
This is the moment counter-terror police arrested a man on suspicion of attempted murder after a Muslim man was set on fire after leaving a mosque.
Footage shows a suspect being detained by officers on Dudley Road in Edgbaston, Birmingham, after the pensioner in his 70s was sprayed with an unknown substance and set alight on nearby Shenstone Road on Monday.
The victim had been praying in front of a suspect described as being ‘Somalian’ by fellow worshippers, before he was followed home and attacked yards from his front door.
Yesterday afternoon police carried out the arrest after he was spotted by worshippers attempting to go back into the mosque as a funeral was about to begin. A source at the mosque said: ‘People recognised him because he had been coming here for a few weeks.’
The attack came exactly three weeks after a similar incident 120 miles away in Ealing, when another worshipper, 82, was set ablaze after being followed out of the West London Islamic Centre. He was taken to hospital for treatment for severe burns to his face and arms.
In the Birmingham incident, residents’ security cameras showed the younger man engaging the grey-haired victim in conversation outside the mosque, before he carried out the attack. As the victim screamed on the pavement, cars continued to drive past just yards away….

Well, it didn’t really go flat’ because it just refocussed on the hatred inherent in islam. Basically, they just start by killing and maiming the obvious ‘outsiders’ (kuffar) then, when they’ve decimated that lot, they’ll just turn their attention nearer home and start destroying those in their own camp who displease them for whatever reason, the last muslim left standing being the biggest narcissistic psychopath of the bunch. This specimen will then be assured his of place in heaven for emulating his ‘Prophet’ to perfection and he’ll be rewarded with his 72 virgins (all of them recycled, I believe). Allah alone knows what he’ll to to them!.

Jayell, it “went flat” in that this case will now be ignored by the media. It can no longer be talked up as “Islamophobia”.

Set on fire! That’s terrible! Hanging should be enough.
John says
No one has ever been set on fire in the UK going to church.

Not unless they were Jewish, living in Nottingham in the 16th century.

Yes, that was horrifying–but you have to go back to the 12th–not the 16th century–to find any such thing.
Deodata says
You could hear them getting ready to take to the streets, to make sure everyone knew that peaceful Muslims were targetted by right wing extremists. Then the truth came out, it was one of their own, so back on stand by.
The war is coming.
JP Sundharam says
Generally it is Muslims who suffer from Islamophobia because they demonstrate an irrational fear on account of their Islamic beliefs:
► Fear of apostates and have a strong desire to kill them.
► Fear of women and seek to hide them in hijab/ niqab/ burqa or beat them into submission and deny them basic freedoms like travelling on their own.
► Fear of examining their scriptural beliefs. They respond to critical analysis of Islam by of death and destruction instead of debate.
► Fear of women enjoying sex and hence having their their genitals mutilated
The others who suffer from Islamophobia are invariably kuffar leadership (political, media, business, education) because they really are afraid of the mayhem and destruction Muslim’s are likely to cause because someone has revealed the truth about Islam.
OLD GUY says
Islam the religion of death and violence, Proves itself again and again.
