Source - Al-Jazeera" Please pray for London. There are riots all over the city. Madness multiplied!"
A puzzling status showed up on my news feed that was posted by Sarah Joseph, CEO and Editor of Muslim lifestyle magazine emel and commentator on British Muslims. She is a writer and a broadcaster, often delivers lectures on Islam both within the UK and international (USA, Europe, Middle and Far East).
Amidst the acrimonious revolution spreading in Middle East, London all of a sudden jumps into the rival. Question after question started to be the source of nuisance in my mind and I was so dead curious to know what was actually happening in London and why now.
As I wrapped my head around the issue while sipping Cappucino coffee at Columbus Cafe, Doha, I managed to get the glimpse of the core reason that has situated London in such detrimental anarchy; there was a shot on the black resident of North London which triggered riots and racial rampage taking place on the streets of London. The citizens demanded for justice and there was no answer hence they went berserk, uncontrollably .
2 hours 15 min ago - UK Riots
Reuters report: Youths have set fire to a retail store, smashed other shop fronts and fought police in the centre of Manchester, northwest England, police said on Tuesday, as rioting that has gripped London in recent days continued to spread across the country.
"I can confirm a shop is on fire and 200 youths that gathered in the city centre have been chased by riot police and dispersed. Seven arrests have been made so far," a spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said.
The spokesman also said a building in near-by Salford, Greater Manchester, had also been set on fire by groups of youths - Al-Jazeera
As I delve deeper, I can conclude quite easily as for now that this riot is not all about the injustice of the police officer who committed a distasteful genocide against the black man solely, but it is also about the youth expressing their angers after the contempt that has been undermining them while some mobsters trying to show their power by taking advantage out of the resentment of the people to proudly take over the city and looting all over causing unrest.
A blazing fires set up on the streets burning down the buildings, houses and cars, shops being robbed and people are randomly assaulted. The road are scattered with rocks, broken bricks, atrocious red smears and the words calling for 'revolution' being written on the walls, citizens running frantically while some criminals unashamedly beat the people for money. The riot is going out of control and all the authority can do is only standing there, barricading the streets waiting for any attacks.

Is this really about the injustice of the authority?. Well, you should have a room of doubt.
From what I have been informed, they said that the immigrants are causing the trouble with their face veiled and randomly attack anyone who is walking on the streets.
London, the capital city of England is known for their unwavering ferocious stand against terrorism and surprisingly the country has failed to see the problem within them that indirectly propagates brutality and urges violence. On July 20, London announced that they would provide assistance to help the Nigerian government with combating the threat of terrorism.
I feel sorry for the people in London and other cities who are facing the ongoing disastrous riots. I defy the act of terrorism that the youth in England have done. There is no justifiable reason to back this diabolical act, causing others to lose their life.

To brothers and sisters who have been committed crimes in London and elsewhere, whether you are immigrants or not in any country respectively, your act is definitely despicable and you will pay the price sooner or later.
For the youth in England who share the same smouldering young spirit as I am, remember that you do not get justice by burning down houses or smashing cars, nor breaking the windows or hitting people. Believe me you are only precipitating this world to be in chaos and banishing away the justice, the word you have screamed your lung out for. Of course you should demand for justice when the authority insults your rights and destroys your values but why should you commit all those violence which exacerbated the depredation that we are facing now. Don't you have a second of wisdom that this could destroy your country and ruin your future?. Remember, what goes around comes around.
Muslims in England, stay calm and do not panic. Do not easily lose your faith and keep on strengthening your Iman towards Allah firmly in this holiest month of Ramadhan. Allah is testing your perseverance, commitment and fidelity towards Him. Be strong and do not leave the Holy Qur'an behind. Read and understand the message that Allah SWT is telling you because there is an insight for all the difficulties. Make sure you have yourselves and people around you safe.
In the book of 40 Hadith compiled by Imam An-Nawawi, Hadith number 19;
On the authority of Abdullah bin Abbas, who said : One day I was behind the prophet and he said to me: "Young man, I shall teach you some words [of advice] : Be mindful of Allah, and Allah will protect you. Be mindful of Allah, and you will find Him in front of you. If you ask, ask of Allah; if you seek help, seek help of Allah. Know that if the Nation were to gather together to benefit you with anything, it would benefit you only with something that Allah had already prescribed for you, and that if they gather together to harm you with anything, they would harm you only with something Allah had already prescribed for you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried."
p narrated by Termithi, who said it is true and fine hadith
This is not merely an unrest, but it is a gateway into a whole new dimension of society that craves for individuals' rights and we have to seek more knowledge as to illuminate Islam into this world with the communities that really challenge one's mind.
Oh yes, do not forget to pray for my Malaysian friend who was assaulted and robbed randomly on the street of Barking, London when he was on his way to get some food for Iftar -breakfasting-. May Allah fortify and absolve him from any distress. To the scumbags, SHAME ON YOU!.
