UK: Sexist Muslim Youths Suspected of Trashing Muslim Women's Center
Today's Bolton Evening News describes how the Hibbert Street Community Centre in Bolton, Lancashire has been vandalised. The centre is used mainly by Muslim women, and the University of Bolton, Bolton College and Sure Start all give courses there. Muslim women find it easier to access than the university and college campuses.
The centre's manager, Hanif Alli, arrived on Friday morning to find computers smashed and furniture damaged. Vandals had forced their entry through a side door.
Mr Alli believes it was carried out by Muslim youths."I am ashamed to say it, because I am Muslim myself, but it's a minority of local Muslim youths that have done this. Local Muslim women feel they have been targeted. It shows total disrespect for the women around here."
The president of the nearby Madina Mosque, Aszal Rasul said "This minority of youths are a disgrace to their parents, a disgrace to the Muslim community they come from and a disgrace to themselves.
"I have never seen anything like this in the holy month of Ramadan. I worry about the faith of these individuals."
Greater Manchester Police are investigating the incident.
What seems to be happening here is that young radicalised Muslim males feel that women have no right to be educated, and should stay at home to be baby-making machines and housewives. This really is a shame.
