UK police are repeatedly insisting that the attack on 21-year-old father-to-be and soldier Joshua Adams-Mitchell was not racially or politically motivated, and this is in spite of eyewitness testimonies. This isn’t the first racially motivated crime committed by Muslims in the town of Batley. In 2017, a woman was approached by three “Asian” males and viciously assaulted just because she was white. It should be well understood at this point that “Asian” is the UK’s media code-word for Pakistani Muslims.

I spoke to an eyewitness to the events leading up to Josh being deliberately run over by a Muslim in his Mercedes car after an argument in a nightclub. I was told that the group of 15 Muslims overheard Josh talking to his friend about his tour of duty in Afghanistan, at which point the Muslim men called him “scum”. They picked a fight with him and led him outside into the road, where he was mowed down by one of the pack. And in spite of this, the police are reassuring military personnel that the attack had nothing to do with the fact that Josh was a soldier. This is unconscionable. Statements like this put out by the police are reckless and continue to endanger lives. It would be better to tell our military personnel that here in the UK we absolutely do have a faction of society who actively loathe them, and that if they do go out clubbing, they should always be surrounded with friends and stick to one or two pints of beer. Our soldiers aren’t safe walking to or from work (Lee Rigby being the most obvious example), but there are others where soldiers have been attacked outside of their barracks, or cars have been seen loitering, waiting for a lone soldier to leave by himself. One soldier narrowly escaped being abducted. It’s not safe for soldiers to wear their uniforms on British streets any longer.

Police are also informing us that Muslims are now forming vigilante gangs in the aftermath of the attack on Josh, in case anyone looks to steal their property in an act of revenge. This is typical and standard behaviour at this point. When a Muslim commits a crime, Muslims are always the victims, and they feel the need for enhanced police protection, or the need to form vigilante groups to keep their communities safe. There is never any outreach or any apologies given. There’s never any expulsion of rapists or terrorists from their communities that would indicate that we live in an undivided and cohesive society. No, they always group together, no matter the atrocity, and insist on victim status. Police are also urging us to speak to “community leaders” (imams) in “community centres” (mosques), rather than go ahead with any kind of vengeful act. Residents of Batley have taken to Facebook to lambaste the police for their comments, criticizing them for not being in control of the massive crime waves in the area of late. Batley is situated in West Yorkshire, close to Leeds, Huddersfield and Bradford, notorious for rape gangs as a result of an overly large Muslim population. Attacks on soldiers and rape gangs are what the Islamic community in the UK are now becoming known for; not innovation or art, but sheer brutality and a control of the drug trade.

The hypocrisy is also astounding. Muslims shouldn’t be drinking and dancing, since both things are considered haram under Islam. Now a young man has been left with life-changing injuries that will probably see him needing some kind of care for the rest of his life because of an encounter with a pack of savage animals who hate our country and our values and our skin tone. A gofundme page has been set up in order to help with Josh’s after-care.
