Elderly Pakistani Man Stabbed To Death After Leaving Mosque In Birmingham
A 75-year-old man stabbed to death yards from his home may have been targeted in a racially motivated attack, according to police.
Mohammed Saleem, who used a walking stick, was stabbed three times in the back as he returned home from prayers at his local mosque in Small Heath, Birmingham, on Monday night.
The blows were struck with such violence they penetrated to the front of his body.
The father of seven also had no defensive wounds in what has been described as a swift, vicious and cowardly attack by the man leading the murder investigation, Detective Superintendent Mark Payne of West Midlands police.
Officers want to trace a white man, aged 25-32, of medium height and build, spotted on CCTV footage running near the scene of the attack around the time it happened, just before 10.30pm.
Police also want to trace a seven-seat people carrier captured on CCTV, driving near the mosque with the two male occupants, both white and in their 30s, who are considered “significant witnesses”.
In an emotional family appeal on Thursday, two of Saleem’s daughters, Shazia Khan, 45, and Nazia Maqsood, 44, called for the attackers to hand themselves in. They tearfully described their father as a “widely respected member of the community” and “much-loved”.
For just a minute, can we talk about how fucking broadcasted this would be if it was a Christian walking out of church?The dictionary definition of terrorism states it is “The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.”
So why aren’t anti-Muslim or anti-immigrant attacks ever referred to as terrorist attacks? They seem to fit the dictionary definition perfectly.
thank you
imagine that this was dean. and castiel recited to him this story of an angel who fell for a man who didn’t think he deserved to be saved.
and the book is old yellow pages, ink faded and smudged in places perhaps from the rainfall of a hundred tears, creased and dog eared and the handwriting is pressed into the pages. indentations of incantations of memories.
and dean is so old and he doesn’t know why this man, no older than thirty-five, visits him daily. doesn’t know why sometimes the man looks older than dean feels. looks like he has lived more than the hundred and one years that dean has.
dean is so old. but he feels something stir, repressed and ever slipping memories of touch and hurt and love and he’s sure it’s a blessing not a curse when he can’t recall anything but fragments.
but when the younger man sits alongside him, his fingers slipping smooth and timeless against dean’s own, dean remembers.
it was them.
it was miles of open road, and then miles of green grass tickling his ankles, and then the smooth floors of the house they spent a summer building.
it was the miles of golden grace, and then miles of unblemished skin beneath his fingertips, and then soft faded days like the twilight slipping into night.
dean remembers everything. every little thing.
and castiel follows him home.
