Is he not a parent who has lost his child? The worst thing that can happen is to bury your own child. Why are some people glorifying their religion in his and his families tragedy?!?!?

The EDL and BNP intelectuals are out in force on NS. The idiots are so full of hate they cannot see good in people beyond their evil macinations and sheepbrain Islamophobia. If Xtianity is so peaceful then why do you have the most nukes?

Answer me that?

How many World Wars were started by Muslims?

Christians killed more ethnic people thant the ethnic peoples have ever killled or are likeliy to ever kill.

I dont why im posting..but i am..i read some of the above comments and they saddened me to think that some people think so lowly of muslims..and Islam..

“Allah does not burden any human being with more than he can bear.” (Qur’aan 2:286)

“Those who endure with patience will be rewarded without measure.” (Qur’aan 39:10)

"Verily, if Allah loves a people, He makes them go through trials. Whoever is satisfied, for him is contentment, and whoever is angry, upon him is wrath." (Hadith –Tirmidhi)

"Those who repress anger, and who pardon men; verily, Allah loves the good-doers." (Qur'an 3:134)

“Repel (the evil) with one which is better, then verily! He, between whom and you there was enmity (will become) as though he was a close friend.” (Qur'aan 41:34)

“…and harm them not. And put your trust in Allah.” (Qur'aan 33:48)

"Whoever loses a loved one from the people of this world and then seeks recompense with his Lord, will be compensated with Paradise." - Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)

"...Bear with patience whatever befalls you...." (Qur'aan 31:17)

"Be not sad, surely Allah is with us." (Qur'aan 9:40)

"Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest." (Qur'aan 13:28)

“…Be mindful of Allah, you will find Him before you. Get to know Allah in prosperity and He will know you in adversity… And know that victory comes with patience, relief with affliction, and ease with hardship.” (Hadith –Tirmidhi)

Some pretty sick people on these pages including the halfwit above- "If looters want to burn mosques they should let them."

If you want to join the BNP/EDL ask John! If you want to be part of the human race have a few quiet moments and think of the four dead people who died as a result of mindless violence and thank your God that it wasn't you.

I disagree with this. It does not matter what religion or race you are; everyone who has suffered from these riots have acted with dignity.
What if the headline was "white Christians are an integral part of our communities." It would have a different reaction.
We are all in this society together, stop claiming one race/religion acts better than others, that's what divides communities.

(I wont mention the bias of the writer)

Don't forget the large population of asian muslims in our prisons -6 times the national population percentage.
One right doesn't cover up many wrongs

Tariq Jahan was the most impressive human being I have heard on the radio this year.

@Stiles

The writer is just banging the drum for Islam by exploiting the death of three muslims and the grief of a father to churn out predictable pro-muslim propaganda.

To say muslims are integrated is just pure tosh. We have muslim only apartheid sessions at our public swimming pools for Chrissakes. Special muslim courts are springing up all over the country. The NHS serves halal foodstuffs whether you're muslim atheist or whatever! The BBC, the West End THeatres and our so called comedians are all very quick to slag off and poke fun at the Pope and Christians, but when was the last time you saw Islam or Big Mo being humiliated and ridiculed?

Those muslims who died were protecting their property and their friends. Likewise the Turks were protecting their business, and the Seikhs were watching their own temple, etc.

Now there's nothing wrong with mulsims protecting their mosques or shops or whatever, but to try and twist that into a report saying muslims are integrated and part of the community is just laughable.

@Nada

The synagoge was attacked by muslims so the imam condemend what happened! Er... I repeat... the synagogue was attacked by muslims? What's your point?

I can find a fair bit in this article to disagree with but the comments here already are so vile I don't want to be lumped in with them. No wonder so few authors venture below the red line on this site.

It`s a shame such a constructive article has been overshadowed by some of the Vile, silly, COWARDLY BIGOTS on here!, Racists hiding behind their computers, People like Tariq Jahan and Malaysian student Asyraf Haziq have shown courage and bravery, and most important of all DIGNITY, they`re three attributes that some of the cowards on here need to look up in a Dictionary!!, they all come after the word Bigot!.

Tariq Jahan has responded with dignity and wisdom to his tragedy because he is a good man of emotional intelligence and maturity .Quite unlike most of the rather unpleasant people who have commented above ; and quite unlike the Prophet Muhammad and the God of the Koran as well for that matter .

Its terrible what happened and he is to be lauded that he hasn't sought revenge. The fact he is a Muslim shows that Muslims are humans like everyone else. So its a shame that Islam as a religion doesn't offer and value infidels the same rights as belivers, this also goes for women, gays and other minorities, what this shows that Muslims who are lapsed with Islam are capable of integrating, Ban Islam and Muslims might have a greater chance of finding true freedom.

And lets make no mistake, one act of selflessness doest mean we should ignore the extremists or the Islamic supremacists of which there are numerous in the UK and worldwide.

Crutchbender you had better get the tinfoil hat out!

Your ilk are quite keen to bring out the islamic angle when a muslim is convicted of a crime.

There arent any muslim only swimming sessions - there are female only sessions. Just like my gym which has ladies only room (or do you think that's that a muslim only room as well?). So when the facts dont fit you just choose to lie.

There is a minority xtians with a persecution complex - a bit like that couple with the B&B. Are you one them ? I have no truck with people who believe in sky fairies - each to his own - but that crap you came out with need contextualising - its nothing more than than the rantings of hate filled paranoid bigot.

So everyone that reads and comments on articles in the NS needs to mindlessly follow the agenda of the senior politcial editors and the people they invite to write the articles?
I have been a subscriber since the 1970s and I'm not going to bend a knee to the far-left gang that have recently taken over.
In general, the Afro-Caribbean community is FAR more patriotic and pro-British and tolerant than the various Muslim groups that have come in mainly since the 1970s. Many of the countries that Muslim immigrants come from were never part of the Empire, are not English-speaking and some were more sympathetic to the Axis during the war.

If Muslims stop Islamic supremacist ideas, stop shoving Islam in everyones face, stop carrying out dawah all the time, and integrate, then they will be accepted. If they carry on with their chips on their shoulders, considering the rest of Britain as 'kaffars', making demands for special priveliges, then Muslims will continue to isolate themselves.
