before it was all about Looting and theft but now three people are killed. I am sure anybody would have created a separate thread for this matter.


Perhaps. But just look at the sheer amount of thread created over this, from karmic justice to Libya preaching UK to unsafe nukes. He has a point. If bunch of white Christians had died, who would even discuss it. 10 new threads will pop up over how British police are oppressing "freedom-fighters".

why are you discussing that did not happen.... (what, if, will, shall) is useless unless it happened.

This is a Pakistani-based forum. Ofcourse when 3 innocent men of Pakistani-origin are killed, it will be the concern of us Pakistanis.
 
There was also another incident reported in London (only 1 mile away from my home)


England riots: YouTube mugging victim 'recovering'

A Malaysian student who was filmed being mugged after rioters attacked him in London is recovering in hospital.

The attack in Barking on Mohd Asyraf Haziq, 20, on Monday night, made headlines after it was put on YouTube.


Dzuhair Hanafiah, chairman of the London UMNO Club, an organisation which takes care of Malaysian people in the capital, said Mr Haziq was "in good spirits".

He said he was due to have surgery on his jaw at the Royal London Hospital.

Mr Hanafiah, who visited the accountancy student in hospital on Tuesday night, said Mr Haziq had been on his bicycle on his way to a friend's house when he was attacked by a group of youths.

Bleeding

"They wanted his bicycle - one of them took it away. Asyraf said he was no more than 12 years old. Another person took his mobile phone. Then someone punched or knocked him with an object, he can't remember what, but when he regained consciousness he was bleeding," he told the BBC.

Mr Hanafiah said the friend who was with Mr Haziq, who was also on a bicycle, managed to escape.

The YouTube clip - which has been viewed more than a million times - shows a group of young men appearing to try to assist Mr Haziq, helping him to his feet, only for them to rummage through the contents of his rucksack and remove items, leaving him to stagger off in a daze.

"According to Asyraf, a different group then came and stole his Sony PSP, a game console, but they didn't manage to find his wallet. He thinks they may have been part of the same gang, but there were about 20 people," said Mr Hanafiah.

He said Mr Haziq was "really shaken at that point" but was rescued by a local woman who took him back to her house, and then managed to contact a friend of his through Facebook, who came and picked him up.

Mr Hanafiah said as the swelling got worse, the friend realised Mr Haziq - who had won a scholarship to study in the UK and had arrived in London only last month - needed more treatment and he went to hospital.

Speaking about the attack, Mr Hanafiah said Mr Haziq was "shocked that he had been beaten up, and that he couldn't defend himself", but he believed he was all right.

Birmingham police visited the Mosque where the Kiling happened and talked to people..They confirmed that the police are treating the incident as Murder.

Last night over 1000 youths were stood guard in south hall area according to the sikh spokesman.
 
The father of one of those killed has said that he forgives the killer, I can only dream of being half the man he is.

If he said so..he is enticing more murders....

No he's not, he is saying that he does not feel vengful towards those who did this but that will not be the case with the rest of the family and friends.
 
This happened around 10-15 mins walk from where I live, previous night looters rampaged on the local high street destroying it. The hospital where he was taken to is literally another 5 mins away as well as a prison. This is getting sick, people need to stop; go get a job instead of taking others livelihoods.
 
This is getting out of hands. Very tragic. A huge loss indeed. :(
 
He is doing this so people don't escalate this into a race riot; similar incident happened in '05. I only have my utmost respect for him, forgiving a killer is something where 'hard' isn't strong enough of a word.

I think what he has said on television is more powerful than any politicians. It takes tremendous courage to do it. What he said has left a mark and within minutes the facebook and twitter networks have been jammed with posts respecting and honouring what he said. He told potential rioters to stay indoors.
BTW all 3 guys parents are from Gujar Khan.
