London Riot




Tonight was a night unlike other nights. London has seen a riot unlike other. Mothers were scared for their sons’ safety and wives were scared for their husbands who went to the Masjid for Taraweeh in the blessed night of Ramadhan.








The riot actually stared a number of days ago in London as you may have seen on the news , but the rioters came and carried their activity in the borough of Tower Hamlets tonight. Their protest for justice turned violently into a riot then sometimes into looting. A friend of mine texted me that “...one man got beaten really bad; it was really scary, the police could not catch the rioters...” And how could they because they do not stay there after they do anything. They leave the area swiftly.





When I was driving by to I actually have seen a van full of black youths parking near a Masjid who are thought to be from the borough of Hackney. It looked obvious that the wanted to attack the MASJID and its glass doors and windows. They thought twice and went somewhere else because there were many young Muslims still outside the Masjid.




I also have seen that some major stores such as TESCO and McDonalds, their windows have been smashed and now police are guarding tem from looters. I thought the rioters will have mercy on the small businesses, but some rioters are looters. They have found the riot to be a good opportunity to loot and steal. Of course they may be a lot of rioters rioting sincerely for justice for the black mini cab driver, who was shot dead by the police, but there are some who are looting and they are looting even the small businesses too. This is the reason why I realised even after mid night; shopkeepers are standing outside their shops on commercial road to guard their shops because their loss would be too much of a loss compared to TESCO.




After I dropped all my friends home, I sat next to my computer and felt I just had to tell you this. In my next article, I will be looking the root cause of the riot.

    Indeed the mothers,wives,sisters,worried for there sons,husbands, brothers and for all the loving ones.

    Now they cant blame the muslims,Whatever happens they say,The Terrorists did this!Whatever the cause is for the riots is by this chance,there looting and stealing. And that has sustained a loss for the public. The loss of the blameless public, would the government give the compensation? Maybe the government will do but it will not do enough,cause the things,one has owned and has got damaged, it is really hard to re-furnish or reset.

    For what has happened, i think the government gets the blame for it. Because the jobs are cut down and young youths dont have a job, so in this case they would DO rioting.

    From everything, out of everything, the main reason is because there is no islamic law. Today, if there was a law of Allah, none of this would happen.

    All the poeple have a fearness of the rioting, looting, stealing or CRIME! There is no peace and i think this is a punishment from Allah.
