British Backlash

From The Guardian a report about a backlash against Muslims.

“A Muslim man has been beaten to death outside a corner shop by a gang of youths who shouted anti-Islamic abuse at him…”

“…backlash against Muslims following the London bombings, which has seen mosques firebombed and Muslims attacked in the street.”

Photos here and here.

There was nothing so dramatic in the U. S. after 9/11/01.

Update 7/15/05: Read about British far right gangs plotting revenge.
