| Slogans daubed on city mosque in Edinburgh, Scotland |
| 2005-07-14 |
| A MOSQUE and a community centre in Edinburgh have been daubed with racist graffiti in the wake of the London terror attacks. Oh my... They are still digging corpses and DNA goo out of a London subway... It'll take a little more than sandblasting to fix that probalem... Messages such as "Islam Scum" and "This centre sympathises with the Terrorists", were scrawled over the buildings' doors and walls following last Thursday's bombings. Why is "This centre sympathises with the Terrorists" if there were a radical Imam preaching there so out of line. Do we know??? 70 people died. It comes as police revealed a worrying increase in cases of racial abuse shouted at Muslims in Edinburgh. The police should be glad it's only shouting at this point... Senior officers today branded the attacks "appalling" and said that security had been stepped up around the city's Muslim communities in the wake of the atrocities. The graffiti attacks happened at the Sha Jalal mosque, in Annandale Street Lane, and the Pakistan Community and Cultural Centre, Annandale Street, sometime overnight on Thursday. Pakistan Community Cultural Center... 3/4 terrorists in London Pakistani... Hmmm... Superintendent George Simpson, head of the Lothian and Borders Safer Communities department, said: "We have had minor pieces of graffiti. Pieces of graffiti? They should look at the freeway interstates of Southern California. Pieces? LOL! "However, these incidents are appalling and there is no space for this behaviour in the democratic society that we live in. Neither is there "space for ... behaviour in the democratic society" of the murder of 70 innocent Londoners... Then a muted responcse and condemnation from the source community... "In the wake of the London bombings we have made contact with all vulnerable premises within the Lothian and Borders force area. We are providing patrols and regular checks of these premises on a daily basis. But vulnerable people on subway trains are not an issue... "We want to hear from anybody who has been a victim of racial attack of any nature, be it verbal or physical, especially at this vulnerable period." But of course dead "infidel" victims rotting in a subway tube can't file a complaint of profiling with police.... Noooooooo Supt Simpson said that some Muslims had also been victims of severe "verbal attacks" since last Thursday. Stick and stones (and bombs)... Jalal Chaudry, chairman of the Islamic Society of Scotland, said: "It is very upsetting that these two mosques have been vandalised in this way. There have been reports of a number of mosques in London being targeted since last week's bombings. Ummm... It's very upsetting that 70 people were murdered in London by Suicide terrorists too, Jalal... "I only hope this doesn't happen north of the Border as it is very damaging to the Muslim community. However, we have the full backing of the police, who have been extremely supportive and reassuring. People are quick to assume that Islam is to blame but they should wait until the full investigation has been carried out before jumping to conclusions." "People are quick to assume that Islam is to blame but they should wait until the full investigation has been carried out before jumping to conclusions." And ol' Jalal wonders why "This centre sympathises with the Terrorists" was put on a Mosque? Hey, bub, DeNile is a river in one of your countries... Councillor Shami Khan, a leading member of the city's Pakistan community, added: "It is a shame that it has been targeted just because of these headcase fundamentalists. We have done so much work over the years to help build confidence in the Muslim community and some Muslims live in fear of things like this happening. It is a shame that all our hard work gets ruined." Ruined by four Pakistanis who were convinced being a terrorist murderer of 70 that they would go to "paradise" and be coddled by 72 vestile virgins... |

| #10 If I were to spray a message on a mossk, it would be "PROFILING THIS NOW, Be Aware" in Scottish. I will get a translation from my Fife mate, just in case I'm there one day. Random T. And that would be a sub-species of what, more or less? The turd of the Devil? |

| #9 liberalhawk cares more about the feeling of Moslems (you know, the people who are committed to taqiya, jihad, and sharia) than about the life of innocents in London. ANY MOSQUE is the location where Moslem preach taqiya, jihad and sharia. Hence a graffiti stating "this centre sympathises with the terrorists" is accurate. |

| #8 Note that "racist graffit" was "daubed" on the Islamic buildings. Were these Christian churches or Jewish synagogues in a Muslim country, they would have been burnt to the ground. |

| #5 nothing in the article you linked to indicates that a radical imam preached there. Nothing says one doesn't. Since Muslims don't make a habit of exposing extremist imams to the public, we have no way of knowing. And, really, how do you know better than the guys living in the community? Quoting (YET AGAIN) Amir Taheri: Go to any mosque in the West (let alone in the Islamic countries) on any Friday and you are sure to hear a litany of woes about how the "cross-worshippers" have allied themselves with the "plotting Jews" in order to destroy Islam, which, as God's final message, is the only true faith. Where in hell did you get the idea that UK security services... Odd. I can't find where anyone -- in this thread at least -- said the UK authorities weren't doing their job. The original story doesn't say anything about that. Look. AFAIK AQ WANTS vigilante attacks on muslims. They want to provoke reactions that will make muslims feel isolated from society, and so more likely to turn to AQ. That would parallel their strategy in Iraq, where they attack Shiites to provoke civil war. I don't condone vandalism or unwarranted vigilanteism, but comparing some spray painting to murdering children seems a bit... over the top. |

| #4 An especially important point to remember wrt Britain, where there have been many conversions to Islam among ethnically British natives. |

Where in hell did you get the idea that UK security services arent A. Doing their utmost to provide security on the tubes and B. Doing their utmost to track down those behind the terracts??? All evidence I can see is that they are. Are you interested in baseless attacks on UK security? Or does it just bother you that they are also protecting muslims. Look. AFAIK AQ WANTS vigilante attacks on muslims. They want to provoke reactions that will make muslims feel isolated from society, and so more likely to turn to AQ. That would parallel their strategy in Iraq, where they attack Shiites to provoke civil war. The police protecting muslims are NOT just doing it out of altruism - theyre part of the effort to win this war. |
