Terrified Muslim Family Flees British Racism
Terrified by a racist attack on their house, a Muslim parent have left their home to help keep their children safe.
“My family were terrified from the very first incident,” Murad Alam, 39, told The Daily Mail on Thursday, January 31.
“My wife had never experienced racism, neither had my kids.”
An offensive graffiti was painted outside the Muslim family’s house in Bingham in north-western Britain last month.
The attack came after a cross wrapped in ham was left on the doorstop of the family’s house.
“The first incident was when the big, wooden cross, wrapped in ham, fell into the house after a knock at the door,” Alam recalled.
“It really annoys me that they should use a cross and try and turn this into a religious argument.”
The Muslim father said that they had names such as 'Paki' and 'tramp' shouted at them in the street.
“My wife and children also had names called at them in the street.”
Seeking security for his kids, the father decided to move to his wife and two young children to West Bridgford, a suburb of Nottingham.
Seeing his kids teased several times on the street, Alam took the decision after he found that his young son plotting escape routes from the house and neighborhood on his computer.
“The kids have been abused a number of times; the eldest had smoke blown in his face by an elderly local gentleman,” he said.
“In fact I had to explain to my children what racism even was, because they're so young they didn't understand the concept that someone could dislike you because of your skin color or religion.”
