Analysis on Hindutva Militants Riot in Leicester with Majid Freeman
Topic: HINDUTVA MILITANTS RIOT IN LEICESTER, UK ATTACKING MUSLIMS Host: Imam Abdul Malik Mujahid Guest: Majid Freeman - Local Leicester resident and community activist U.K. police have arrested dozens of Hindutva-connected individuals for attacks on Muslims over the weekend in the city of Leicester. The attacks, which occurred during a march by supporters of the Hindutva ideology, are the latest in a series of assaults this year by Hindutva gangs. According to the nonprofit Muslim Engagement and Development, or MEND, the first attack took place in May. In some cases, the attackers ask for confirmation of an individual’s Muslim identity before the victim was beaten or assaulted. The Federation of Muslim Organizations in Leister blamed failures by Leister Police and statutory bodies to adequately challenge and tackle a rise in a racist and extreme ideology. The Sikh Federation of the U.K. also has asked British authorities to recognize that far-right Hindu nationalists are targeting minorities, disrupting communal harmony.
