Green party deputy leader Mothin Ali has condemned a firebomb attack targeting two Muslim Greens who were working to make the UK a better place for all its people.

The West Midlands couple, identified as Farrukh and Salma, saw their car reduced to smoking wreckage by the attack. Ali called for West Midlands Police to treat the matter seriously. He condemned the anti-Muslim speech of Reform and other politicians and for everyone to work together to create an “island of belonging” instead of inciting hate and division:

Routine incitement

But, it’s telling that Mothin Ali is the one condemning this despicable attack. Reform, Labour and the Tories all routinely incite Islamophobia and embolden white supremacists for their own political agendas – including against Ali personally. Anti-Muslim hate incidents have risen faster than other racial or religious hate. Yet the UK’s ‘mainstream’ media have ignored the firebomb attack:

This is a grim contrast with the blanket coverage that follows even the most questionable incident involving supporters of Israel.

    Utter bilge, no one encourages white people to attack, it has been a one way street that attacking white people is accceptable

      No-one apart from Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson, Reformstore and the rest of the hard right encourages white people to attack Muslims.

    Farrukh, if I’m not mistaken, is Salma Yaqoob’s brother, who was the owner of the car, they are not a couple.
    The car was firebombed. This was clearly a targeted attack that was aimed at Salma Yaqoob and her family.

      Just a further clarification, a hooded figure set the car alight after dousing it in petrol in the middle of the night, he was caught on camera, the video and images are frightening

    Will police step up patrols in areas with large Muslim populations? Will the news go international almost immediately? Will there be pages and pages of speculation as to whether the attack was a terrorist assault perpetrated by a particularly violent regime in the Levant? Will the Prime Minister call for “communities to “all stand together” in the face of the “horrific Islamophobic attack”? Will the police instantly state that the matter is proceeding as an investigation into a hate crime? Will the security service announce that it is probably the responsibility of an terrorist cell with a suspiciously obvious Levantine name which absolutely no-one has ever heard of before?

    Wind whistles ….

      Exactly. Hatred directed against Muslims is a feature not of the working class but of our wealthy elite.
