Leicester

After hundreds of Islamists gathered in city's eastern section, violence erupted in Leicester, UK, with Hindus being the target | OpIndia News.

Hindus that OpIndia spoke to also told us that the clarification by the police, that “death to Muslims” was indeed not chanted by Hindus, was not circulated by the Muslim organisations thereby leading to targeted attacks against the Hindu community of Leicester. The initial assertion by the police that “death to Muslims” was chanted by the Hindus was widely circulated on WhatsApp by the Muslim organisations, leading to Muslims attacking Hindus. During the rampant violence by Islamists in the city earlier in September and on the 17th, several Hindus were specifically targeted after being identified by the display of Hindu symbols. “He was specifically targeted after the Islamists saw Hindu Gods and Goddesses on the dashboard of his car”, they told OpIndia. On Friday, hundreds of Hindus had taken to the streets of Leicester to protest against the earlier violence by Muslims against Hindus in the area. Posting a video of the Hindu driver, soaked in blood after being attacked by Islamists, the handle tweeted a celebratory tweet with laughing emojis. However, it was later clarified that no chant of “death to Muslims” was raised by the Hindu community. After the 28th August scuffle, the Leicester police had claimed that chants of “death to Pakistan” and “death to Muslims” were heard by the Hindus. There were several Islamic accounts on Twitter that celebrated the attack on the Hindu driver. After they managed to open the door, they drag the Hindu driver out and beat him mercilessly. 6th September was the third consecutive night of attacks against the Leicester Hindu community, Insight UK told us. This comes after a spate of targeted attacks on Hindus followed the Asia Cup India-Pakistan cricket match on August 28, when armed Islamists attacked Hindus and their residences in the vicinity.
