Presumably they mention it as in the latest high profile case it was thought to be the motive.

tober there have been lots and lots of acid attacks but I do not recall a person's religion being mentioned except - if you see where many of these occur you may be drawn to certain conclusions the guardian has a pro islamic agenda to push of course |
|
By:
r ost of the attacks involve bleach ,ammonia and seem to be used in robberies / gang disputes
The worst ones use sulphuric acid and usually have some revenge/honour type motive . The one with the 2 cousins has no known connection between them and the perpertrator . So they assume he attacked them because 'they looked like muslims' It seems an unusual case so the motive is more noteworthy |
|
By:
but how about the hundreds of others - any mention of religion
actually we all know why don't we it is the wrong religion to mention if THEY have carried out the attack GET IT? |
|
By:
As said , robberies / gang disputes are 90% of these cases and so religion is presumed to be irrelevant to those so why would it be mentioned

It may have seemed like a lucky guess on my part, but I used 'profiling' techniques to work it out. Something that the police, intelligence and security forces would be wise to do at all times when investigating crime and planning 'stop and search' actions. I simply asked myself which vibrant borough has often shown itself at the cutting edge of terror, crime, FGM, rape incidents and by means of this intelligent profiling action I made a Holmes-like 100% correct deduction. |

whilst others thrash around to find other excuses for this imported behaviour
like a friend of mine says about politicians/civil servants etc etc - it is not intelligence or knowledge - they are just plain stupid |
|
By:
Anyone who does this is scum. Looking at the worst recent cases seems plenty of indigenous people here are involved.
This sort of thing began in Britain in the 1800s . That was because it was the first place that was producing large quantities of acid for industrial purposes. The correlation is how easy it is to get hold of the stuff , rather than 'cultural' |

By:
still no answer to my question why the gurnard bangs the muslim victim line
ooops - there I have provided the answer while others cast around into history in an attempt to excuse it pathetic |
|
By:
The Guardian - like all news sites - certainly has a 'narrative'it promotes .
In this case though it was quite pertinent to the article to mention the motive in that case , as it is unusual . I'm not aware of other cases where someone has had acid thrown at them for being a muslim or a christian etc If that was the motive ( another possibility is that this stranger was hired by someone who does have a grudge against the victims) |
|
By:
The full list of acid attacks by borough is:
1 - Newham - 398 2 - Barking & Dagenham - 134 3 - Tower Hamlets - 84 |

By:
I reckon it is more likely to be muslim against muslim women,usually seen as a punishment for rejection or disrepute to the family. It happened several times while I was in Saudi,seemed to be a typical punishment attack.

do not mention the M word - you are out of order
it is the fault of emerging capitalist enterprise in the 19th century thankyou |
|
By:
It is a known fact that it is used within a certain religion when they feel the family has been shamed, usually a daughter who has chosen someone from a different culture.
Tobes is just trolling the original question. |
|
By:
So most of these acid attacks are muslims doing it for religous reasons ?
They aren't though are they . Gangs squirting ammonia at each other appears to be the overwhelming majority . |
|
By:
but why mention muslims in the article - what has religion got to do with it
nearly 400 in one borough alone - it is a well known cultural method for retribution etc wonder where that comes from is it a british cultural custom? |
|
By:
As explained several times , because that was presumed to be the motive in that case , which is pretty unique unless some other examples can be found of someone throwing acid at people because they were from the wrong religion.
As also said several times , the vast majority are gangs using ammonia or whatever . In terms of 'retribution' attacks by jilted lovers etc , googling it for UK cases seems to throw up mostly cases of white men as the culprits , So maybe it is a 'cultural tradition' of white british men , or maybe nothing to do with culture |
|
By:
Tobes, you are just playing semantics.
You know that these acid attacks are frequent in a certain culture. You claim when this culture uses it to attack their own culture so it isn't or wont be classed as religious. Im not sure all the daughters in a certain religion would like you on their side Tobes. |
|
By:
as you attempt to deflect away from the attempted down play of one culture you completely miss the point how this is an outside cultural custom and not essentially english - it comes from elsewhere
the number of attacks in landan are essentially particularly cultural ones but like other excusers for the cult you wish to muddy the waters good luck with that why does the paper raise the religious aspect ? establishing one culture as victim is really what it is about you want to deflect away from that |

Excuse me for butting in. May I remind you all that Islam is the Religion of Peace and NOT the Religion of Acid. I hope this clarifies the matter and enhances diversification on this forum!

Your original question is
What has someone's religion got to do with acid attacks? The answer is : In most cases nothing at all . The great majority are of gangs of criminals spraying/ throwing it at other gang members without any thought about religion at all . A minority of cases individuals throwing it at a person they have a grudge against , again without any correlation with what religion they are. In the particular case of the 2 cousins apparently it was the motive. So it was mentioned as it stands out from the others. |

I wonder how many attacks on people belonging to the wrong religion have been religiously reported by the freedom loving guardian.
You see, when you have an agenda, you have to assign victim status to emphasise your slant on news. |
|
By:
Use whatever news source you want and see if it backs up the notion that men throwing acid at women in britain is predominantly carried out by muslims

As a brute force and ignorant sort of guy I take a fence at that chopper bouy.

hope this helps it is all about the agenda victim status established you really need to realise what is happening in england on many fronts |

is that a question or a statement ?

Well in that case Mr ok, I don't think I will bother to communicate with you in future. This is the second time you have disrespected me, and there won't be a third.

By:
I don't disagree with you that The Guardian will flag up 'Islamophobic Hate Crime' more than the number or severity of cases merits.
I just don't see that has happened with this article as the case mentioned is very severe and unusual , so noteworthy . And i don't think acid attacks are usually carried out with some religious motivation. |

You must not take these things to heart. Sometimes you may make ereers. It is nothing personnell but use have to be told.
