Hijab-Wearing Woman Filmed Being Knocked To Ground As Hate Crime Soars Across London

[super jumbe]

This is the shocking moment a hijab-wearing woman was knocked to the ground during a horrific hate crime attack in London.

She was then beaten unconscious in the unprovoked assault in Plaistow.
The harrowing footage will be broadcast by the BBC1 London ?Inside Out? documentary series at 7.30 p.m. tonight.

Entitled ?Behind the Veil,? the show will feature young Muslim women describing how they?ve been spat on, punched and verbally abused in the street.

The investigation details how Islamophobic attacks in the capital have almost doubled in the 12 months to June, from 406 to 800, according to Scotland Yard statistics.

And racist and religious hate crimes in general soared by almost 28 per cent last year - from 9,965 reported incidents to 12,749.

But victims say that the true figures could be much greater, as many are too afraid to report attacks to the police.

Student Meanha Begum was attacked along with a friend by a knife-carrying woman who pulled down her face veil and slammed her to the ground, reports the Evening Standard.

?I know young Muslim women that have been attacked but they are too scared to go to the police about it,? the 18-year-old tells the documentary.
?I was walking to work and this man came towards me. I thought he was going to punch me. It?s like he saw me and he just went mad,? said Sahina Khan.

?He said something about ?killing Christians in the Middle East? or 'your people killing Christians in the Middle East? and he was just ranting at me,? added the 31-year-old.

Muslim or not, hijab or batman to hit a 16 year old girl is disgusted! Despicable... I thought so only Ayoade who is originally from Nigeria they are allowed to settle in uk only to act on criminal activity they need to be educated.

She was lucky. If it was a Muslim attacking her head would of been cut off lying next to her. Please stop calling it a hate crime. If a non white attacks a white they never call it a hate crime.

A hate crime is a hate crime. Your attempt to call it call it anything else is objectionable and your analogy is nonsense.

Education, education, education.

Who was the murderer of Fusilier Lee Rigby in Woolwich was this also a hate crime? He was a Kenyan born African, allowed to live in uk only to kill.

2006 Michael Adebolajo is arrested with a criminal associate, Ibrahim Hassan, during a protest against cartoons of the Prophet Mohamed.

22 May 2013 Adebolajo and his accomplice Michael Adebowale murder Rigby near the Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich. They are both shot and arrested.

...was this also a hate crime?

Of course it was. The rest of your post seems to have lost the plot though.

a crime is a crime no matter how you describe it, unforunately racism is worse now than its ever been imo, and what is to blame ? politics and religion

[rds60h]

What is happening is wrong, the violence is wrong but what is happening isn't technically racist because it is not directed towards a race.
It is an attack or opposition to what represents a specific religion, so Sectarianism or Bigotry or Anti-Iconism (Iconoclasm) would be closer to the true description although none of them are specifically correct they are closer than Racism.
But is the refusal to integrate and the use of clothing such as the Niqab or Burka also a flagrant display of antagonism ?
I personally see no problem with the Hijab which shows the full face and is little more than a head scarf and in fact have seen some versions that I would consider almost a fashion statement.
The problem is that there needs to be understanding and sacrifice from both sides which actually doubles the problem and the chances of a solution, but without movement from both sides there will always be resentment between each other.

(REFUSAL TO INTEGRATE)
How can you tell Sikhs to integrate, they are allowed to ride motorbike with out turbon, Sikhs are the most peaceful people I know. We can not tell people to change.

I have worked and socialised with numerous Sikhs over the years and not all of them wore a turban, I must agree in that the majority of Sikhs I have known are wonderful people. But to be fair the are good and bad in every race, religion or whatever title you wish to put on a specific group.
As for the turban, I don't think most people have any problem with it or what it represents, just as very few people have a problem with a Skull Cap worn to represent the Jewish faith.
It is when things are taken to extremes that it begins to bring problems with it, just as someone white wearing Nazi regalia in an everyday situation would be offensive. Irrespective of anyone's beliefs or origins there should be consideration and respect of the customs and standards of where ever they are at any particular time.
