Race stabbing in BNP Barking
19/5/2006POLICE ARE treating the stabbing of an Asian man in east London as racially motivated. The attack occured in Barking, where the far-right BNP won 11 council seats earlier this month.
Scotland Yard are not linking the incident with the neo-Nazi party at present, but the electoral success of Nick Griffin's outfit has raised racial tensions in the area.
The man, in his 30s, was approached by a gang of white men before being stabbed close to Barking train station at 10.30pm yesterday evening.
The group of four youths in their late teens, racially abused the pair before one attacked the victim, stabbing him twice in the torso. The victim managed to walk to Barking police station where an ambulance was called.
The man is currently in a London hospital. His condition is described as stable. No arrests have been at this stage.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Barking and Dagenham CID on 020 8217 5519 or, to remain anonymous, Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

This is the sort of thing that is going on in London at the moment. The guys name was "Asad", he's afghani and he was beaten up and attackers were calling him a "F**** Paki".
I don’t particularly like driving round London at the moment…now that the world cup is going on, there is an increase in drunk guys, waving the England flag around and basically causing a riot in the streets.
The BNP won 11 council seats in Barking. According to some lecturers from my Uni these BNP councillors are getting on the education committee in certain schools in Barking.
Allah (swt) knows best if things will improve or get worse.
So, what issues (if any) does this raise for Muslims living in the UK? Particularly those living in London?
I heard some people discussing the issue of migrating back to their home land…many of us here are originally from Pakistan, India, Bangladesh etc
Could you ever go back and live in your mother land? Could you hack the food, lifestyle, education system etc? Could you work or study there?
Where does your heart lie? What do you consider “home”?
Hypothetically speaking…given the chance who’d return to their mother land?
And if not, why?
Wasalaam
Home is where the heart is.
My heart lies with my family and my loved ones thats where my home is. Everything else is just bricks and stone.
This country has given us a lot e.g. education, money, safety and it is where we shall continue to prosper. If the day ever comes where we are nolonger welcome here... theres always Scotland. lol.
As much as we love the motherland its way too unstable not to mention the harsh conditions, which is why going back is only a last resort. We shall stay here and fight for the new lives we have created for ourselves {peacful demonstration ofcourse}. Bcoz if we run now then we'll be running forever. And one day many years from now when we're lying on our death beds thinking about all the things we've lost by leaving England, would you be willing to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our cornershops, they may take our taxi stands but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!!!!
lol, so in conclusion: For many of us theres no going back, coz theres nothing to go back to. Here we and our coming generation has a fighting chance of making something of themselves. If we can live in peace then we will, but not at the cost of our freedoms.
Back in BLACK
I used to believe that I could live in Pakistan, but my parents have always been adament that I can't.
I'm still intrested in spending a few years in Pakistan either working or studying...but I've become too used to my lifestyle here in London to spend the rest of my life there.
I've only ever visited Karachi in Pakistan..and to me, its not that different to London.
You must have a nice house in Pakistan. When I went back home I used to get mosqito bites all the time which used to itchy (mosqitos lurve sweet blood, eat too much sugar). When I went out in the sun it was soo hot, which is bad as I'm sensitive to the sun (5 mins in the sun and I get a tan....don't like it). When I'm at home the house was soo hot it felt like it was on fire...unless you have air con. The terrain was uneven and at night it was scary as there's no lights....unless you live in the city. The people stare at you and the shopkeepers say a higher price because they see you're foreign. Threre's all sorts of problems back home which I don't think I can get used to. If I was born back home then maybe.
after they stabbed him
they covered him up with an England flag :evil:
and nope-i couldnt live back home
I'm too modern to settle back there
parents wouldnt allow it anyway
