The Birmingham Mail have done a fantastic job of rubbing the pigs' noses in their own incompetence.

This article should be banned for Buddhismophobia and considered a hate article. Also all these are alleged crimes - why are they not called alleged in the aricle - how do we know that the Rohingya didnt just get on the boats to rape little children elsewhere and steal from their hosts in another country? It wouldnt be the first time their lot would try it..........

What do any of you know of true Buddhism? Just because you interpret your religion in the most basic fashion as anything more is too complicated, doesnt mean everyone else has to. According to your interpretation Buddhist doctors wouldnt prescribe antibiotics that kill bacteria even if it means their patient would die as that would be hurting life. Engage your brains before your mouths, Buddhism has a long history of warrior monks in dark times from Kennyo Kosa to monks of Myanmar today.

I think that it is laughable that 'SIkhs' choose to judge the brave people of Myanmar protecting their ancestor's heritage and children's future from Abrahamic garbage. Just because you lot have lost West Punjab and cant do anything without someone holding your hands doesnt mean you can do the typically Sikh thing of dragging others down to your level, especially other Asians. You cry over the Rohingya and Palestinians yet you dont remember what the Pakistanis did to you. Shame on you.

I think if you spend your whole life worrying about other people's feeling when you dont know how or why they are the way they are then you are just exposing yourself. In the world today your kind of Sikh self-policing is a hindrance not a help. To really believe your actions are the root of further hate and violence by refusing to accept others bigotry and stupidity just screams appeasement.

Well why not if God is everywhere? What's the difference in teaching and the acts themselves? The acts are examples of the teachings in the real world. If Saud can change who is allowed where why should we respect a religion that has quite clearly changed since our founders time to become more evil?

It doesnt matter whether they learnt their lesson or not as it quite clearly offended them. It caused offence and you cant deny that. Why cant you point your feet at the Kabah? Are you saying you cant follow the meaning of Guru Nanak's teachings? Anyway you're not even allowed in Mecca so dont start talking about Gurmat principles in situations that would no longer arise.


The other time is when the water was thrown in the other direction, dont you feel that some of the people their would have been offended at having their ritual mocked?

Pointing your feet at the Kabah was insulting and jumping in a river to mock the traditions of others is pretty rude from other people's point of view.

What if religions are built on hypocrisy and falsehood? Centuries after the Khalsa was formed it looks like some Sikhs have found new holy cows. Religion is not an infallible construct above criticism.

Sikhi is anti-dogmatic. Guru Nanak insulted religion and belief the world over that did not fit his world view. If that's too controversial for your left wing views then good for you, but I will always value human life over human belief no matter what.

Insecure people tend to hate things that counter their views or make them feel bad. Muslims have always had a chip on their shoulder due to being a load of nonsense thought up by a desert madmen and practiced by his barbarians as they ravaged the Eastern Roman and Sassanid Empires. Dawah allowed them to attack these people and take their 'stuff' without having to feel bad about it.

The Spanish were the first to adopt this method which they called the Requerimiento, which they had learned after the Reconquista, to use against the Native Americans. A notorious example was when they held the Inca King hostage and told him to convert. He didnt so the Spanish used that as a reason to ransom him for gold, kill him, rape his wife and kill her before repeating this on his population just because they wouldnt accept Christ. Obviously they would have done it anyway if the Inca became Catholic, but the Dawah/Requiremento was always about giving the enemy an offer that even if you know they wont accept will absolve you of any sins when you murder, rape and loot from them.

Ultimately it all boils down to the inherent jealousy, entitlement and privilege that Abrahamics feel towards others.

THe rest of the posts in this thread need to be deleted.

Carla set she was ‘upset’ by the incident (Picture: City News)

A school football match was blighted recently after a team from a Muslim boys school refused to play against a team with girls on it.

Due to there not being a girls football team at Robert F Hall Catholic School in Caledon, Canada, Carla Briscoe and another girl both play on the boys team, which is allowed in their school league.

During a recent match against the nearby ISNA Private Islamic High School, in which Carla’s team was winning 3-1, the opposing team told the referee at half time that they would have to forfeit as some of the students felt uncomfortable playing the sport with a girl.

Knowing their team needed a certain amount of goals to progress in the tournament, and not wanting to let their team mates down, Carla and the other female player agreed to bow out of the game, however the incident left them with some bitter feelings.

‘I was upset, I just didn’t feel like I had finally made the progress to be on the team,’ Carla told City News.

She added that she ‘understands their culture’, however she hopes other girls aren’t dissuaded from playing sports due to this incident.

Carla’s team dominated by winning 6-1, however this means both teams will now advance into the next round and could potentially meet each-other on the field again.

Essa Abdool-Karim, the coach from the ISNA Private Islamic High School, claims they were unaware that girls were allowed to play in the league, despite it being clearly stipulated in the rules.

He said: ‘Free mixing is generally something we do not do, more so out of respect than anything.’

The school board are expected to make new rules to treat religious and gender conflicts soon to avoid a similar situation occurring should the two teams play each other again.

A Birmingham snooker club has been forced to close its doors after police discovered rooms were being hired out by men to have sex with underage girls.

Officers from West Midlands Police also discovered Big Break Snooker Club, in Digbeth, was being used by drug dealers. There had also been countless reports of robberies and thefts of customers who were visiting the venue.

Police consulted with Birmingham City Council to compile a damning portfolio of evidence to ensure the management duo, who are brothers-in-law, were temporarily removed.

The evidence was presented to the courts and police took possession of the property’s keys.

As a result of the inquiry, Qumar Zaman and Hissam Khaliq, the managers of Big Break, voluntarily closed the club at the end of March and began a round of improvement works aimed at making the club useable − including functioning fire exits and internal decoration.

But despite their efforts, the closure order was still granted for the maximum term of three months after the court heard that the pair had done nothing to deter criminals from using the club for their illegal activities.

Inspector Will O’Connor, from Birmingham Police, who led the investigation, said: “As our enquiries into the manner of Big Break’s operation uncovered more and more information, it became clear that the club was being used for criminal activity of various sorts.

“We discovered evidence of rooms being used by drug dealers operating in the city, as well as by men involved in illegal sexual activity with underage girls.

“The use of cannabis proved to be widespread and open inside the club and further analysis of recorded crime found there to be a number of robberies and thefts from people inside and in the close locality to the premises, on Coventry Street.

“When our officers visited at the end of March they found several known offenders for robbery type-offences hanging around the entrance, bags containing heroin and crack cocaine on a sofa in one of the rooms, used condoms, a lock knife and a hammer lying around, a strong smell of cannabis, as well as safety issues around obstructed fire exits, a faulty fire control panel and cigarette butts in ashtrays all around the premises.

“Other enquiries showed a pattern of young women or girls entering the club with older men.

“Information we uncovered suggests the girls had gone on to spend time in private rooms with the men where they were exposed to alcohol and drugs and groomed for sexual activity.”

Any person who attempts to enter the property for the three months it’s sealed will automatically be guilty of an offence and brought before the courts.

During the hearing, at Birmingham Magistrates Court, evidence was heard, describing the club as housing 16 separate rooms, eight of which contained snooker tables in an unplayable condition − the rest of the rooms were rented out as private spaces for hire from as little as £5 per hour.

• Ahmedshah Hatimi orchestrated masked raid on family run cash and carry
• Liaised with Qatari king-pin to plan ambush with Lithuanian thugs
• Owner Shammi Atwal chased gang but was pushed under truck and died
• Hatimi, a regular in the shop, comforted Atwal's heartbroken wife days later

A shopkeeper who visited a widow to offer his condolences just days after killing her husband in a cash-and-carry robbery is facing jail.

Ahmedshah Hatimi, 31, was the inside man as masked robbers armed with sledgehammers and iron bars stormed the Glenn and Co store looking for cash.

When the owner, Shammi Atwal, 45, stepped in to defend his wife, he was chased by the gang and pushed under the wheels of an oncoming truck.

Hatimi, a regular customer at the store, fed the robbers information about the cash-and-carry’s security then fled moments before they struck.

 

Ahmedshah Hatimi, top, organised a masked raid on the cash-and-carry at which he was a regular customer. Owner, and dad of two, Shammi Atwal, bottom, chased the robbers on to the street fearing for his wife's safety, but the thugs pushed him under an oncoming truck

Days later, Hatimi visited Mr Shammi’s grief-stricken wife, Damanjeet Kaur, offering his condolences, but keeping secret his part in her husband’s death.

‘Mr Hatimi was a regular customer of the cash-and-carry, he knew Mr Atwal and his wife,’ said prosecutor David Howker QC.

‘After the death of Mr Atwal, Mr Hatimi went to their house to pay his respects to the widow, keeping quiet about the fact he was part of the team that robbed them.’

Six members of the robbery team were convicted last year of manslaughter and conspiracy to rob and locked up for a total of more than 70 years.

Hatimi, who stood trial at the Old Bailey separately, admitted conspiracy to rob and was today convicted of manslaughter.

He will be sentenced on Friday morning.

He was recruited by the raid’s mastermind, Qatari-born Farhan Sheikh, 40, to give him tips on security systems at the cash-and-carry.

On the day of the raid, on October 14, 2013, Hatimi went to the store in River Road, Barking, Essex, posing to be a regular customer.

He was in constant text and phone contact with Sheikh, who lay in wait outside with Lithuanians Deibidas Sumskas, 26, Edgaras Balezantis, 26, Vidmantas Gonskoves, 27, Aurimas Diliunas, 28, and Reiniks Kivers, 29.

Six masked robbers stormed the Glenn & Co cash and carry in Barking, Essex armed with sledgehammers and crowbars in October 2013

When Hatimi signaled that Mr Atwal’s guard dogs had been taken for a walk, Sheikh gave the order to strike.

Up to ten masked men wielding sledgehammers and crowbars smashed through the security doors and into the packed shop.

Mrs Kaur was dragged from the office by her hair and her purse was snatched, but tragedy struck when Mr Atwal tried to defend her.

CCTV footage caught the final moments when he was chased from the store and pushed under the wheels of a passing truck.

Mr Atwal was crushed by the heavy goods vehicle and died from his injuries..

Mr Howker said the gang believed there was at least £12,000 in the safe, but they got away with just £1,000 that was in Mrs Kaur’s handbag.

‘Mr Hatimi played the part of the inside man’, he told the court.

‘He used his familiarity with the premises, having been there on a number of occasions as a customer, and his knowledge of the layout to assist the rest of the gang to commit the robbery.’

Hatimi, who said he was recruited months prior to the raid, admitted telling Sheikh what type of security locks they may face and how many staff worked at the store.

Deibidas Sumskas, left, Aurimas Diliunas, centre, and Edgaras Balezantis, right, were also convicted of manslaughter and conspiracy to rob in connection with the raid. The gang was jailed for a total of 71 years

 

Vidmantas Gorskoves, left, Reiniks Kivers, centre and Farhan Sheikh, right, were all found guilty on the unanimous verdicts of the jury of manslaughter and conspiracy to rob following a trial in June last year

On the day of the raid, Hatimi claimed he had tried to abort the robbery because the store was full of customers.

He claimed he walked away before the gang of robbers struck, but the jury found he had already completed his part as the inside man.

‘Nobody moved in the robbery until Hatimi provided the necessary information to enable Sheikh to say when the moment was right to strike,’ said Mr Howker.

Hatimi said he was forced to visit Mrs Kaur by his elder brother, as they were regular customers at the cash-and-carry.

‘He told me that he wanted to go to this person’s house for the condolences, and asked if I could take him in the car’, he said through an interpreter.

‘I couldn’t refuse him but I felt a lot of shame.

 What you men did has had devastating and catastrophic consequences on the family who have to live with this for the rest of their lives, long after you are released from the sentences I have passed today.

Judge Nicholas Hilliard, Common Serjeant of London

‘I felt really shameful and I couldn’t look at anybody.

‘Within ten minutes I told my brother we had to leave.’

At the sentencing hearing last year, Mrs Kaur told the court she was struggling to cope without her devoted husband.

‘I loved my husband with all my heart and he loved his family and children,’ she said.

‘Our life was a perfect little family and we had so much to look forward to.’

She previously told the court that she believed the men were racist thugs whose sole intention was to kill her and her husband.

Hatimi, of Ilford, denied manslaughter but admitted conspiracy to rob.

The six masked robbers found guilty of carrying out the horror raid were jailed for more than 70 years in January last year.

 

Kivers, of no fixed address, and Sheikh, of Barking, were both sentenced to 13 years behind bars.

Diliunas, also of Barking, was given 11 years and eight months imprisonment.

Balezantis, of East Ham, Sumskas, of Victoria Docks, and Gonskoves, of Plaistow, were each jailed for 11 years and four months.

In sentencing them, Judge Nicholas Hilliard, Common Serjeant of London, praised Mr Atwal's bravery and courage and said his last thoughts were 'undoubtedly for his wife'.

'In a moving statement Damanjeet Kaur his widow describes what was their "perfect little family" and all that they had to look forward to.

'What you men did has had devastating and catastrophic consequences on the family who have to live with this for the rest of their lives, long after you are released from the sentences I have passed today.'

Politically incorrect, NSFW or for those with a weak disposition.

Probably was Pakis, Birmingham nightlife is full of these lot walking around. Broad Street used to be known for its good nights out because of the apneh there and massive student population like Leicester used to be. Now you have middle aged muslim men from all over the country looking for 'drunk slags' as it aint so easy to rape kiddies on their own doorstep. I've heard of Sikhs being hassled on nights out in Birmingham and the sulleh coming from as far away as Luton! It doesnt matter whether they start on you because of your watch/girl/whatever these twits just want trouble.

Meet Secret Agent Deep Singh, a hero who fights the Taliban in the new comic book series 'Super Sikh'

Supreet Singh Manchanda

This crimefighting superhero doesn’t have secret powers, a magical past or a cape.

But he does have a turban.

Meet Secret Agent Deep Singh, the Taliban-hating, Elvis-loving, Indian techie nerd hero of the new comic book series “Super Sikh.”

Created by a Taliban-hating, Elvis-loving Indian techie, Supreet Singh Manchanda, Deep Singh is intended not only to be the Sikh superhero, but a role model for an ethnic group whose members are still often mistrusted because of their headwear.

Supreet Singh Manchanda

“The Taliban hijacked my turban,” said Manchanda, who, like all observant Sikh men, wears a turban to cover his uncut hair. “People think we Sikhs are Muslim. We are not. People think we are Islamic terrorists. We are not. In fact, for 400 years Sikhs have been the guardians of India.”

Because he lacks super powers, Deep Singh is more like a Sikh Batman, relying on his wits, smarts, gadgets and guns to fight crime.

By day he works at an information technology company in India. But that’s just a convenient cover for his true calling as a member of a top secret United Nations force of bad guy busters.

Supreet Singh Manchanda

In the just-released intro issue, his main target is the Taliban, which is about to burn books in Afghanistan in hopes of keeping girls uneducated.

“Women shouldn’t fill their heads with numbers and reading!” a one-eyed mujahideen screams at the crying schoolgirls. “You’ll soon be free of the curse of education.”

But after one well-placed blast from Secret Agent Deep Singh’s bazooka, it’s the girls who are free of the curse of the Taliban.

Supreet Singh Manchanda

“Boom!” the storyboard reads, as Singh walks off, his bazooka slung under his arm and his chest muscles rippling. He hops into his car, fires up “Blue Suede Shoes,” and heads off to his next adventure.

Turban-wearing heroes were unheard of when the creators of “Jonny Quest” unveiled Hadji, Jonny’s indispensable sidekick and fellow adventurer, more than 50 years ago.

Over the years, there have been other Sikh supermen, including Randu Singh from DC Comics and Ram Singh from the pulpy series “The Spider.”

Supreet Singh Manchanda

There is even another “Super Sikh” comic series — unrelated to Manchanda’s — that is now raising money on Kickstarter. In this universe, Raj Singh uses the power of meditation to become a flying hero named Super Sikh, who leads a multiracial team of crimefighters to battle both bad guys and discrimination.

Racial and ethnic expansion in the comic-book world has continued, albeit tentatively, to include Muslims. The latest “Ms. Marvel” series features Kamala Khan, a Pakistani-American living in Jersey City, and DC Comics had a Muslim-American become a member of the Green Lantern Corps to protect Earth while Hal Jordan was stuck in another plot line.

“Diversity is growing in comics, as it rightly should,” said Manchanda’s “Super Sikh” co-creator Eileen Alden. “A piece of fiction, especially a comic, with even a single positive character can make a huge difference in a kid’s life.”

She and Manchanda are apparently not alone in this belief. The pair met its $5,000 Kickstarter goal in a day.

Once the four issues of “Super Sikh” are completed, the pair are planning another series starring Gurpreet Kaur, Deep Singh’s female cousin, who is a nuclear scientist and also a ninja.

A French philosophy teacher has resigned from one of the country’s only state-funded Muslim schools, claiming it promoted “Islamism” and was riddled with anti-Semitism.

The head of the Averroès Lycée strongly denied Sofiane Zitouni’s claims and threatened to sue him for defamation.

The teacher, who describes himself as a “French citizen of Muslim culture” had been at the private school in Lille for only five months but recorded his alleged experiences in French newspaper Libération.

A week after the Charlie Hebdo attacks, Mr Zitouni wrote a piece entitled “today, the Prophet is also Charlie”, expanding on the “je suis Charlie” slogan that became a rallying call for the satirical newspaper’s supporters around the world.

He claimed that many Muslims failed to have a sense of humour with their faith, claiming the controversial Charlie Hebdo cover depicting a weeping Mohamed was hated only by those who “still have not understood the essence of his message”.

Mr Zitouni alleged that his article was badly received back at school, with pupils saying his stance was “blasphemy”, that he was grovelling at the feet of the “enemies of Islam” and that the murdered cartoonists “had it coming”.

A colleague warned him that he had made “enemies” with the piece, he claimed, whispering that he should “look behind him” as he walked in the street.

Another teacher from Averroès Lycée wrote an article in response in weekly French newspaper L’Obs. Sofiane Meziani, who is also a member of the French Association of Muslims, wrote that Charlie Hebdo “trivialised racist acts” and that characterising the attacks as a religious issue was reductive.

He concluded: “I do not share the ideas of my dear colleague, but he can be assured that I would fight for his right to express them. Especially in the staff room!”

On the day of the Charlie Hebdo attack, the school’s head teacher issued a statement expressing his condolences to the victims and saying the gunmen had “betrayed and defiled” the values of Islam.

Students held a minute’s silence and a protest holding signs reading “not in my name” and “the Prophet never asked to be avenged”.

But Mr Zitouni, writing yesterday, claimed he resigned from Averroès Lycée because it was playing a “double game” with the secular French republic – presenting a positive image and good exam results to secure public funding while “disseminating stealthily and perniciously a conception of Islam that is nothing other than Islamism – an unhealthy and dangerous mix of religion and politics”.

“The reality is that Averroès Lycée is a Muslim territory that is being funded by the state,” he wrote.

The school has been rated “excellent” by the French schools inspectorate and reportedly achieves an 100 per cent page rate in high school exams.

The first edition of Charlie Hebdo after the attack sparked angry protests because of its cover featuring the Prophet Mr Zitouni claimed to have been told by students that he was not orthodox enough in his own belief in Islam, that Darwin’s theory of evolution was wrong and that a veiled female student refused to say the word “sex” or sit next to a boy.

“In more than 20 years of my teaching career, I have never heard so many anti-Semitic remarks from the mouths of students,” he wrote.

The teacher said he failed to dissuade a student from the theory that “Jews dominate French media” and that a “powerful Jewish lobby” was trying to crush Islam in France, being told that “Jews are the enemies of Muslims”.

The head teacher said Said and Cherif Kouachi 'defiled Islam' with their crimes The school’s head teacher, El Hassane Oufker, told France 24 staff and students were “hugely shocked and upset” by Mr Zitouni’s claims and that he would be sued for defamation.

“We are in a state of shock,” he added. “The teachers are depressed and the students are very upset. We never got the chance to discuss [the allegations of Islamism].

“We feel betrayed…he worked here for three months and he saw and heard things that no one else has.”

The school’s entire teaching body have reportedly signed a joint letter condemning that “slanderous lies” of their former colleague, France 24 reported.

In August 2014, the Alexis Jay report identified 1,400 cases of child sexual exploitation in the Yorkshire town.

But Sky News has learned that hundreds more cases were known to authorities prior to its publication and that hundreds more are being reported.

Victims continue to feel let down by authorities.

One survivor "Gemma" told Sky News: "It's still going on if not worse, because now they're having to hide it more.

"I'm still seeing my abusers driving young girls in their car. They're untouchable."

The Alexis Jay report found that hundreds of children had been sexually exploited, mostly by Asian gangs, and that Rotherham Council and South Yorkshire police had failed to tackle the problem.

Jayne Senior, who ran an outreach programme for victims in Rotherham called Risky Business, has revealed that she reported nearly 1,700 cases of grooming or sexual exploitation to the council's children's services between 1999 and 2011.

This was a shorter time period than that examined by the report.

"I was accused of saying too much, of sharing too much information, reporting too much intelligence," she told Sky News in her first interview.

"Risky Business didn't make all this up. It was accused of making it all up and Alexis Jay exonerated all of that."

The report found Risky Business was seen by the borough's social care services "as something of a nuisance".

It added that "there were too many examples of young people who were properly referred by Risky Business to children's social care and who somehow fell through the net and were not treated with the priority they deserved".

Risky Business was shut down in 2011 and victims have expressed frustration that a recent application to set up a new support group has been turned down by the council despite recommendations in the Jay report.

"It shouldn't have been shut down," one victim told Sky News.

"Because that was an agency that was trying to tackle the situation. But knowing now that it was all a cover-up then I think it was closed down because they were trying to tackle the problem."

Rotherham MP Sarah Champion said she was also baffled as to why Risky Business was discontinued.

"Genuinely, I have no idea why it was shut down. Why would you shut down a successful organisation that was demonstrating there was a massive need for their services and was proving results. They were getting prosecutions."

She is leading calls for a national task force to be set up to combat large scale child abuse across the UK. She said she has been "overwhelmed" with new cases coming to her for help and advice.

As well as support, many victims are still seeking justice.

"Gemma" complained that local police "turned up suited an booted" outside her home with a panic alarm - showing neighbours that she was someone who had reported abuse.

"All they care about is getting a statement," she said. "Six months on we've had no arrests, we've had no charges, evidence is still being lost."

A spokesman for South Yorkshire Police said: "We look at each case individually to establish the most appropriate way to contact and visit victims throughout an investigation to ensure their personal safety is maintained.

"South Yorkshire Police has not received a complaint in relation to this alleged incident."

Leader of Rotherham Council, Cllr Paul Lakin, said: "We accepted the recommendations of Professor Jay's report and immediately acted to address the issues raised.

"We fully acknowledge that we should have done more in the past and have offered our sincere and heartfelt apologies to the victims and survivors of child sexual exploitation.

"Make no mistake, protecting children and supporting the police in tackling child sexual exploitation is our highest priority.

"With regard to the 2002 Home Office researcher's report, we take allegations of a "cover up" very seriously and have made strenuous efforts to obtain a full copy of the report. As yet, this has not been forthcoming.

Shooting Hari Singh Nalwa in the back when he acheived victory at Jamrud over 60,000 Afghans. Or murdering the odd drunken soldier in Lahore. Or giving the wrong supplies to your own side during the First Anglo Sikh war. With bravery like that it's no wonder you have to appropriate other people's heroes or make up fairy tales to keep your ego up!

Cardiff Crown Court

A young father who wanted to own a business and property empire has been jailed for 10 years after being convicted of funding his ambitions illegally.

Shamsu Miah, 33, stole a £37,000 Audi car, set up cannabis factories and made fraudulent applications for mortgages and laundered criminal money, Cardiff Crown Court heard.

And along the way he perverted the course of justice and involved friends and family including his young wife Rowjee Kaur.

Kaur, who met him aged 17, was involved in his first mortgage fraud to buy a house at Manor Way, Cardiff, by the time she was 18.

“He owned a business (Universal Foods supplying the catering trade from Bessemer Road) and was ambitious - to her a successful older man”, her defence counsel Jonathan Rees told the court.

“She signed the mortgage application at Manor Way and that was what became the first example of her acting on his instructions. She was under directions from him”.

The court heard Kaur was not saying pressure was put on her but she wanted their relationship - between two different faiths - to succeed, wanted to please him and give him the gift of a child.

She’d had ambitions herself to become a barrister but her studies for a law degree, following exam success in school ended when she became pregnant.

Now the mother of three children, all under the age of four, Kaur wept in the dock as Recorder of Cardiff Judge Eleri Rees agreed to suspend her two-year jail sentence, saying: “It is unlikely you would have embarked on any offending without his prompting”.

Kaur, now 24, had pleaded guilty to money laudering, mortage fraud and conspiring to supply cannabis and her husband was convicted by a jury.

The judge said Miah had led a criminal lifestyle for five years.

Judge Rees told him he’d had ambitions of building a property and business empire but as debts mounted he found the finance through fraud and drugs.

He set up cannabis in properties bought in his wife’s name in at Victoria Wharf, Cardiff Bay, Deer Road, Ely and Llantwit House, Pontypridd.

He also helped finance the bringing of cannabis from Bristol into Cardiff.

Others involved in the cannabis supply conspiracy have already been dealt with at several earlier court hearings.

“It is clear you had a troubled childhood”, Judge Rees told Miah who lived with his wife and children at Llansdowne Road, Cardiff, until his arrest.

“But even after you were initially arrested and bailed, you continued to conspire to supply more cannabis from factories set up on your premises.

“The sentence passed on you must reflect the seriousness and the persistence of your offending.”

The only charge Miah admitted was the theft of the Audi Q7 car which was purchased on a loan for £36,750.

Prosecutor Roger Griffiths said no payments were made, the number plates were changed and in 2013 Miah was convicted of making threats to kill when it was seized from him.

In mitigation, Miah was said to have once had a thriving legitimate business in Universal Foods and later at Rooster fast food outlet in Llandaf North.

But he became “widely overstretched” and ran up debts and used “dirty money” to buy the properties he had been able to pay for himself.

He was said to feel an overwhelming burden of having dragged his wife into the dock with him.

The Birmingham Hotel in Goldern Hillock Road

Three suspected under-age girls fled a city hotel in their underwear shortly before police swooped in response to a child sex tip-off, the Sunday Mercury can reveal.

Cops were called to The Birmingham Hotel in Golden Hillock Road, Small Heath, after staff reported fears that youngsters were in a room with adult men.

By the time police arrived they found a 17-year-old in the room, who claimed she had been assaulted.

A man was later arrested but no charges followed.

Yet police say CCTV camera footage showed three young girls earlier running away from the same room in their underwear. Despite inquiries, they have never been traced.

The potential Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) incident took place in September.

Just a month earlier The Birmingham Hotel had alerted police after ejecting another 17-year-old girl who had turned up at the hotel with three Asian men, for what a court later ruled was likely to have been CSE-linked abuse.

Her case has now resulted in ten other Asian men being hit with injunctions, banning them from approaching young girls. None of the ten were involved in the September incident, nor did they have any connection to The Birmingham Hotel.

The hotel has stressed it alerted police to both incidents and had been praised at court by a judge for its child protection procedures. Meanwhile, Birmingham City Council has dropped possible injunction applications after agreeing a ‘protocol to protect children’ with the hotel.

The police swoop took place in September after a tip-off from a member of staff at the hotel.

“Police were called to a hotel on Golden Hillock Road at 9am on September 14, 2014,” a West Midlands Police spokeswoman confirmed.

“This followed a report from staff who had concerns that under-age girls were in a room with adult men. Officers attended and found a 17-year-old girl in a bedroom, who alleged she had been assaulted.

“Police examined CCTV footage from the hotel, which showed three other girls running from the room in their underwear. These girls, despite extensive enquiries in the community, with partners and other forces, have not been traced.

“One man was arrested for assault following the incident. However, following investigation no independent evidence could be found and the matter was filed pending fresh information.”

Earlier this month a High Court judge overturned a ban on naming The Birmingham Hotel after the case of the ten men, who were suspected of sexually exploiting a 17-year-old girl.

Mr Justice Keehan agreed to lift the restrictions but praised hotel staff who tipped off police after seeing the girl – who was banned from the hotel – leaving the premises with three men last August.

“I make it entirely clear that the hotel at all relevant times acted entirely appropriately and co-operated with the authorities,” he said.

However, the judge said it was “perfectly proper” to conclude that the girl was at the hotel “with these three Asian gentlemen for the purposes of child sexual exploitation”

.

The Sunday Mercury asked West Midlands Police if officers had visited The Birmingham Hotel in the past in connection with enquiries about child sexual exploitation.

Keiley Gartland, the force’s Head of News, said: “We have tried to obtain the information you have requested, but this is not achievable in a press office search. On speaking to the LPU (Local Policing Unit) we have agreed that this would have to come in as an Freedom of Information request as it is not something that we can easily facilitate.

She later added: “West Midlands Police CAN provide accurate information as to how many times they have been called to the specific hotel in relation to concerns around Child Sexual Exploitation, however, this would require extensive manual checking of police-held information.

“This would necessitate searching police systems and this information is best requested via the force’s Freedom of Information unit, who will consider what information is held in relation to this request and, subject to exemptions under the act, may be released.”

The force failed to respond to our further request that it ask its Public Protection Unit for the information.

The Birmingham Hotel had faced a possible injunction as part of the city council’s plans to tackle child sexual exploitation.

But the council dropped the injunction plans after working with the hotel to ‘’agree a protocol which the court indicated was an entirely proper approach to be taken. As a result it was not necessary to pursue the applications for injunctions and by agreement the proceedings were withdrawn.’’

Peter Hay, the council’s strategic director for people, also said The Birmingham Hotel had co-operated with officials and added: “We are pleased this has been removed as the sort of location people can use as a venue for the sexual exploitation of children.

“Hotels can often be the frontline of this issue so it is vital they work with us and understand the issues.

“We see this as a way forward and we are currently setting up training for other hotels. We are looking to them and others to work with us to tackle the problem of child sexual exploitation.

“The protocol is based on the Children’s Society’s ‘Say Something If You See Something’ campaign and includes agreement over training staff to recognise warning signs, the operation of CCTV on the premises, the provision of ID and clarification of relationships between adult guests and young visitors.’’

Meanwhile, West Midlands Police has also stated that it is determined to tackle CSE, although the force has controversially refused to release pictures of the ten men named in court documents on public safety grounds.

Its statement added: “West Midlands Police is strongly committed to protecting children and young people from abuse and sexual exploitation, and is working extensively with partners to raise awareness of the issue and also to actively stop those who target vulnerable people.

“A dedicated team of officers has been set up to specifically tackle child sexual exploitation and also investigate online CSE, as well as targeting organised gangs who target children for exploitation.

“In November 2014, a number of Birmingham men, subject to a probe into allegations of CSE, were handed injunctions banning them from contact with girls under the age of 18 in a groundbreaking move. The injunctions were part of a careful and considered policing investigation dealing with CSE.

“In January 2015 the High Court approved an agreement between Birmingham City Council and the Birmingham Hotel in Golden Hillock Road with an agreed protocol to protect children.’’

The statement also added future protocols would be based on the Children’s Society’s ‘Say Something if You See Something’ campaign.

WHAT THE HOTEL SAYS

A spokesman for the hotel said The Birmingham Hotel had been ‘exonerated’ at court and praised by the judge for its co-operation with the council and for alerting police to the two incidents.

“There is no evidence of any abuse of any young person taking place at out hotel during our ownership,” he said. “The evidence showed that and the council and court know that.

‘‘It was the hotel that initiated contact with the police on both of these occasions. These are the type of actions that Justice Keehan alluded to when he stated that at all relevant times the hotel had acted appropriately and co-operated with the authorities.

“These are actions of a responsible hotel. Crucially, both incidents happened before any court action was taken against.’’

He added the hotel had a 32-channel CCTV system in place since December 2011 which had ‘’been an important crime prevention tool since then. The hotel had already been taking ID’s and challenging people entering the hotel.’’

Are these the same troops who razed the Dogra's estates after the Khalsa's defeat in 1846?

Are they the same troops who were begged by the masses of Kashmir to fight the British and Dogras after the sale of Kashmir as they knew what life would be like under the Dogras?

Marshal Zorawar Singh died when the ruler of Punjab (of which Kashmir was just the northern part) was Emperor Ranjit I, who is this Mahraja Gulab Singh?

There is a campaign of misinformation, by the very people accusing others of misinformation, the usual suspects as usual.

Sikh and Muslim community leaders praised as six Leicester men are jailed for "paranoid" campaign of hatred

sikhsix

A judge praised police and community leaders as he jailed six men for a total of 19 years over a “paranoid” hate campaign.

Judge Nicholas Dean spoke out after the defendants, all but one of whom are Sikh, pleaded guilty to a series of offences including inciting racial hatred, attacking two men in a car and shooting another victim.

He commended the calming influence of leaders of the Muslim and Sikh communities during a time of tension.

The judge also praised the police for their hard work and sensitive handling of the case.

He said: “I would like to commend particularly the hard work and dedication of the investigating officer Det Constable Beverley Toon in this case.”

Parwinder Baning (21), of Kitchener Road, Crown Hills, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit assault, actual bodily harm, possessing an imitation firearm, possessing a bladed article and importing an illegal haul of weapons. He was jailed for seven and a half years.

Mehul Lodhia (24), of Lindsay Road, Rowley Fields, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit assault and importing illegal knuckle-dusters. He was jailed for three years.

Damanpreet Singh (19), of Collingham Road, off Narborough Road, Rowley Fields, pleaded guilty to affray, inciting racial hatred and conspiracy to commit assault and actual bodily harm. He was jailed for four years.

Harjinder Athwal (24), of Netherhall Road, Thurnby Lodge, pleaded guilty to inciting racial hatred, conspiracy to commit assault and actual bodily harm. He was jailed for two and a half years.

Amanpreet Singh (25), also of Collingham Road, pleaded guilty to affray. He was jailed for two years.

Satinderbir Singh (20), of Woodborough Road, Crown Hills, pleaded guilty to inciting racial hatred. He was jailed for 15 months.

Leicester Crown Court heard how a car containing two Muslim men was attacked by a group wielding hockey sticks, chains and other weapons in June 2013.

The two men escaped injury in the incident, in East Park Road, Evington.

A few weeks later, a Facebook thread was set up by one of the defendants peddling vehemently anti-Muslim comments.

A website account was also set up expressly to lure unsuspecting Muslim men to contact a ficticious15-year-old Sikh girl. Two men were tricked into making contact. One of them, a “vulnerable” man, who was a Sikh, was conned into sending the ‘girl’ an indecent picture of himself.

The image was sent to his employers to humiliate him.

Another man was lured to a rendezvous with the ‘girl’ where he was attacked with weapons, and shot with a BB gun by Parwinder Baning.

Judge Nicholas Dean said: “These offences took place against a backdrop of tension in 2013 following the revenge attack by Sikh men on a Muslim restaurant after the grooming of a Sikh girl by a group of Muslim men.”

He said the affray in East Park Road was sparked, in broad daylight, by brothers Amanpreet and Damanpreet Singh, who swore at the Muslim occupants of the car and then led a group of men in the attack.

The judge said that in August 2013, Satinderbir Singh set up the Facebook thread filled with anti-Muslim comments which were “vicious and perverse and absurd”.

He said: “They played on myth, exaggerations and paranoia.”

Four of the other defendants posted messages on the thread.

The judge said all of the defendants received time off their sentences by pleading guilty.

After the case, Suleman Nagdi, public relations officer for the Federation of Muslim Organisations, said: “It is absolutely imperative that faith leaders from all sides create a calm and cohesive society.

“The incident was a rare one - it was one that does not normally happen in Leicester and we hope it will never happen gain.

“It’s important that leaders of both sides are calm and understanding and show friendship towards each other. It is the way forward for the whole nation.”

Resham Singh Sandhu, chairman of the Sikh Welfare and Cultural Society and vice-president of Leicestershire Faith Forum, said that shortly after the incident the faith leaders from both communities met with the police to help calm the situation.

He added that faith leaders work very hard to maintain good relationships between different religious groups in Leicester.

“Relationships have been very very good for years, but sometimes elements disturb this cohesion.

“These issues are not always locally based, they are from the outside world, we try to control it as much as possible.”
