I saw something about this on George Galloway's twitter feed seconds after it was reported to him. Apparently 11 mosques were invaded by uniform wearing fascists and bibles were thrown around and they abused the people there.
Doesn't look like much in the UK media about this at all.
Quote:Bradford West MP George Galloway will be touring Bradford mosques tomorrow (Monday) which were violated by right-wing extremists on Saturday.
His aides will earlier be meeting the local police commander for a report on the incursions and talking about plans to combat them in the future.
"This was a calculated act of desecration by knuckle-dragging thugs who claim to be Christians, but who defile the very nature of Christianity," the MP said. "If the same thing had happened in reverse, if Muslims had crashed into churches, terrifying those that were there and forcing them to take copies of the Quaran and accusing them of being paedophiles there would be international outrage led, not doubt, by the Daily Mail. This is an outrageous and racist desecration of holy places. And it is an action which can only exacerbate racial tensions, which is no doubt the intention. I am urging the Muslim community, in Bradford and elsewhere, not to react to this provocation. But if this is not a race hate crime then the law is, indubitably, an ass."
Galloway added that after a report-back from the meeting tomorrow with the police commander he would be making a further statement.
