Tommy Robinson blamed for Islamophobic attack in Edinburgh

Tommy Robinson — On 20 June, police arrested a man after he allegedly attacked several individuals in Edinburgh. In the course of being arrested, the man in question claimed he was “protecting the country from these f*cking Muslim b*stards”.

Responding to the attack, former first minister of Scotland Humza Yousaf blamed “Rupert Lowe, Tommy Robinson and their ilk”. Tommy Robinson in turn pointed to the ‘Rape Gang Inquiry Report’ produced by Restore Britain, which contained fabricated figures about the number of white women raped by Muslim men:

Right on cue, the anti white parasites blame the truth speakers, not the truth being spoken.

The beasts who did this to British children are to blame.

Violence

The Edinburgh suspect said the following when being arrested:

I told you time and time again, I’m protecting the country from these f*cking Muslim b*stards raping our young daughters — raping our kids — enough is enough. I have had enough.

Five men – two aged 22, and others aged 24, 27, and 39 – suffered a range of injuries in the attack last night. None are life threatening

The Muslim Engagement and Development organisation said that several of those injured were Muslim

In full, Yousaf said:

Muslims, once again, targeted and attacked in the UK, this time in Edinburgh.

None of this is happening in a vacuum.

Rupert Lowe, Tommy Robinson and their ilk have put a target on the backs of Muslims for years. Hardly a surprise people are now acting on their words.

Rupert Lowe is the leader of Restore Britain which produced the ‘Rape Gang Inquiry Report’ that Robinson referenced. The report is notable for the claim that 250,000 white British women were “subjected to repeated rape, gang rape, trafficking, torture, pregnancy, forced Islamic conversion, and lifelong trauma”. As Grace reported for the Canary, however:

That ‘250,000’ figure is a complete and utter fabrication. It links to a May 2019 parliamentary debate in which Malcolm Pearson of UKIP cited the figure without support. This, in turn, obscures the fact that Pearson was referring to his own extrapolation from an October 2018 debate

Grace subsequently reported that the report excluded victims of colour as well as neglecting to cover white perpetrators. This gave rise to the accusation that the report used fraudulent figures and selective accounts to push an Islamophobic narrative.

Tommy Robinson — Further response

Robinson once again cited the report in response to councillor Mohammed Shafiq:

Now it's my fault that a random Scottish man apparently attacked some Muslims?

He literally said in the clip why he was angry, and allegedly he attacked 5 people?

And his reasoning was about abhorrent crimes committed by your community, nothing to do with me or Rupert. https://t.co/eH6fga23Kh
