A Christian of Pakistani origin claims he had his nose broken by a gang of Muslims who attacked him for displaying a cross and poppies on his car.
The father-of-one was knocked unconscious and rushed to Royal Derby Hospital, where he woke up five hours after the attack at around 8.45pm.
He believes that he was hit on the top of the head, and then was beaten further as he lay on the floor.
Mr Amar, of Derby, said: 'Several times, local Pakistani people in Derby havetaken offence from the fact that I am Christian.
'When they first find out, many stop talking to me. My wife and I have often been shunned.
'On the day of my attack the visible display of a cross in my car and two poppies just below the front bonnet, triggered the violence against me.
'I know this, because for a few days before the attack the same men, glared at me after they noticed my Christian paraphernalia.
Now Mr Amar wants to leave Derby because he no longer feels safe, but he tragically left Pakistan after being shot by Muslims there after refusing to convert to Islam.
'I fled from Pakistan to escape violence such as this, but more and more the same violence is coming into Britain.
- Bound to be debated for days to come in the MSM. Or perhaps not..
Remains to be seen what the motive was, but most of the press have picked this up tbf. The Guardian and BBC have not, yet they would have been first up if the situation was reversed.
