#AtheistRepublic
The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.
It all started on August 28th, when a cricket match between India and Pakistan in the Asia Cup in the United Arab Emirates sparked numerous violent interreligious protests in the city of Leicester in the United Kingdom. It's still unclear which side started the violence; some claim that after India won the game, supporters poured onto the streets and began chanting anti-Pakistan slogans. The religious community leaders have called for an end to the protests, but the animosity between the Hindu and Muslim groups has remained and even spread to other cities. Videos of the protests went viral online, in which masked men throwing bottles at police, shouting anti-Hindu or anti-Muslim slogans, and tearing down a religious flag at a Hindu temple can be seen. A saffron 'om' flag, a symbol of the Hindu religion, was desecrated by an Islamic mob directly in front of the Leicester police. A Muslim community leader, Rukhsana Hussain, told the Guardian about a radical group that marched through east Leicester on September 17th, chanting "Jai Shri Ram," a pro-Hindutva slogan. A former chairperson of a national Hindu organization, Drishti Mae, said that the Hindus were the targets of harassment. A large number of law enforcers were dispatched to control the violence. Dozens of perpetrators have been arrested by police, including a 20-year-old already sentenced to 10 months in prison. Reportedly, a large portion of those arrested were not even residents of Leicester but outsiders that came to engage in group intimidation on behalf of their religious group.
