For the second time in two months (57 yr old Canon Michael Ainsworth was attacked by "Asians" this past March) an East End London clergy has been attacked and beaten by muslim thugs.The Reverend Kevin Scully was attacked in his churchyard as a hate-filled revenge attack for the priest stopping muslim youths from the disrespectful if not blasphemous act of using the church's Christian cross as a basketball hoop some three days prior to the attack. The three muslim scum returned to exact their revenge and inflict their violent hate on the Reverend who was attacked then punched and kicked leaving the lone priest cowering on the ground before he could run for help. A man, passing by, tried to help Reverend Scully, the good Samaritan was also beaten. The priest fled into his church where he feared the thugs would follow and continue the beating. A clear case of a muslim hate crime?
Immediately the police and even the battered Reverend went into apology mode making excuses for the muslim teens.
Even though the Ainsworth/first beating was classified as a "hate crime", the police quickly decided that this latest incident was just an assault and not a hate crime - surely one would have to think that just the act of disrespecting the crucifix showed contempt for the Christian religion nevermind the savage beating of the priest or the fact that the priest stated he had been taunted about his religion. Even Reverend Scully spoke a tirade of implausible excuses and tried to take the blame off of the culprits. With two black eyes and a multitude of cuts and bruises, Mr Scully blamed the the "anti-social" nature of the area, the muslim's consumption of alcohol and felt it is a "community" problem not a policing issue - everything but those that committed the crime. Uncited was the fact that the area does have high level of muslim residents but clearly the priest doesn't want to admit the blatent hate crime or the problems of being a Christian church in a predominately muslim neighborhood.
As long as the police and the clergy choose to ignore the obvious - that such crimes are indeed hate crimes committed by muslims toward the Christian religion and the representatives of that religion - we can expect more such unrepentant assaults.

Second attack on East End clergy by teenage thugs
09 May 2008
EXCLUSIVE by Michael Parker
A SECOND priest has been beaten up in his own churchyard in the space of just eight weeks in London’s East End — this time over an argument about a football.
The Rector of St Matthew’s in Bethnal Green, The Rev Kevin Scully, was attacked on Tuesday afternoon by three drunken youths who had returned to take their revenge for a row three days before.
He had taken their ball last Saturday after he saw them using a cross on the church as a basketball hoop.
He has been taunted with religious and racist abuse in the past, but believes the beating was more alcohol-fuelled than anything more sinister.
The attack follows the vicious assault on Canon Michael Ainsworth at St George-in-the-East church in Shadwell in March.
But although that attack was treated as a ‘faith hate’ crime, police consider the latest incident as simple assault.
Fr Scully, 45, who was left with two black eyes, cuts and bruises, told the Advertiser: “I’m still a bit shaken up.
“It came out of an incident where some teenagers were using the front of the church as a basketball hoop.
“I took their ball and told them to leave—but they came back on Tuesday, drunk, to demand their ball back and attacked me.”
He recalled: “One of them was instigating the violence.
“I thought the other two were going to stop it, but in the end they joined in.
“Even a passer-by who saw what was going on and tried to intervene got a kicking too.
“I was punched twice in the face, hard, hit again, and kicked from behind.
“I crouched down to ward off the blows before running to the Rectory and calling police.”
Fr Scully added: “My biggest concern was getting the door locked as I thought they might follow me inside.
“But they ran off and I’ve not seen them round here since.”
He branded them “drunken yobs” and said the area suffered anti-social and criminal behaviour.
Mr Scully, however, insists it was not a ‘policing’ problem, but a ‘community’ problem.
“These are someone’s sons, someone’s brothers,” he said. “These people are known in the community.”
“There is a certain racial and religious element to this,” adds.
“I have been and was taunted religiously — and that is a worrying aspect of it.
“But I would not make that a ‘flag of convenience.’
“These are drunken yobs and that is the shame of it.
“They could probably have a very bright future ahead of them if they only did something about it.”
Police are investigating the assault and say they are looking for three Asian youths, all aged about 16.
The attack has also brought condemnation from Tower Hamlets Council.
The authority’s community cohesion spokesman, Cllr Ohid Ahmed, said: “The idiots who carried out this attack have let their community down as well as themselves and their families.
“We will continue to work with the people of Tower Hamlets to stamp out such mindless acts and to encourage tolerance, understanding and co-operation among everyone—regardless of faith beliefs.”
The Advertiser launched a campaign backed by Tower Hamlets council to improve security in the East End’s churchyards, following the March attack on Canon Ainsworth at St George’s in Shadwell.

Idiot Muslims v. idiot priest. Of course it was a hate crime. Proper solution: immediate prosecution of thugs, police guards for the church, transfer for the priest . . . Where is Churchill when you need him?

The foolish English are only digging their own grave. By ignoring acts like this, and in fact bending over to describe them as "not hate crimes" are a tacit approval of such crimes.
The criminal muslims are only emboldened by this response.
Muslims are not a civilized people. They prove it everyday.

Poor excuses of a human beings that the brits have brits have bcome...
You are second class citizens in your own country and soon you will either have to stand up and fight or face your own extinction.
Your government,your media have sold you already to the highest bidder,which in this case are the muslim barbarians.
Dont`t expect help from anyone,but yourselves.
Stand up and fight,if not for you,then for your country,for your children and grandchildren.

This will continue, the problem will get larger, and the Brits will succumb to Islam because they're nice and proper and civilized, while the Muslims are tribal animals who see the Christians as less than human. The wheels turn slowly and the Brits can't even see it coming. In fact, all of Europe is in this fix. We here in America will never let this happen. There will be fighting in the streets and that's one reason the Muslims here don't F with us. They know we'll fight to the death.

I wouldn't expect more from a bunch of Muslim chav scum. Wake up, citizens of Brittani!. They're oppressing you inside your own domain! Ship them back or throw them in the sea before it's too late.

A Muslim Cleric in London said recently..." By the end of this century, all Christian churches will be Mosques."
Unless you do something now, he will be proven true. This is unacceptable.

The Islamist mistake is assuming we cannot erradicate the problem as soon as we decide. At the moment it is an aggrevation. They will do something big and the response around the world will END the Muslim problem globally. There will be no more Mosques funded by Tax Payers. It will be big boats and one way tickets for the lucky ones.

Additionally... I am so tired of seeing rag headed fuck witts talking jihad, war booty and all that other Islamist big talk. They are a rag tag bunch of dafties with the military might of my Granny. The reason terrorism works is because we allow them to walk about our countries free and easy while using tax payer money to fund their lazy non contributory parasitic lives.
Once the people are back in control of governments or governments at least start listening then that will all change.
Immigration should be like piss in a swimming pool. So small an amount you hardly notice and it just eventually blends in with the rest. Not the current dumping of raw sewerage we have in Europe at the moment. 10th Century Tribal barbarians with 21st Century weapons. Luckily they do not make any of it themselves.

Yousip albazi, the muslem world sided with Hitler for the xtermination of Jewish people in WW2,
We in Britain not only have to face the threat from Muslems, we also face the political police and a communist government hell bent on destroying the white man in Britain, we are disarmed but we will fight to defend our freedom and our country, the clock is ticking and the tide will turn against the muslim dogs and their 'prophet'

We in the British National Party are labelled quite wrongly as racist, we are Christian,pro family, anti homosexuality (not anti homosexual) anti abortion, apart from being Christian we actually have a lot in common with their belief structure, so they attack us and hate us for being Christian and being white,how much more evidence do the politically correct idiots in our shambolic 'government' need?

Brad,You in America are also under attack from Muslims ie,those muslims/arabs who migrated to USA and home grown Afro-Americans who convert to Islam.We non muslims must realise that we are up against the barbarian muslims who are hell bent of conquering the world in the name of Allah.This is from Muslim's Quran Sura2:193" Fight against them(Infidels)until Idolatry is NO more ,and Allah's religion reigns supreme" see www.blip.tv/file/1382254 www.thereligionofpeace.com

The time will surely come when retribution will be handed out by the Christians, for even a mouse will bite if you corner it.
