Dentist attack: 'If my brother was white this would be called a terror attack'

The family of a dentist assaulted with machete criticises media coverage of the incident:

The family of a dentist who was attacked with a machete in a Lee Rigby revenge assault say it would have been classed as an act of "terrorism" if he was white.Dr Sarandev Bhambra was struck in the head with a machete in a supermarket by Zack Davies while he shouted "white power" and "this is for Lee Rigby".
Davies has been found of guilty of attempted murder following the attack which took place in Mold, Wales, in January which left Dr Bhambra, 24, with "life-changing" injuries.

Racially motivated.
Relevance to mothers boyfriend in the case to a racially motivated attack?

Zero.

Was it terrorism?
Interesting point based off his ideology and intent, it could be construed as terrorism.

Was it just a random lone nut case attacking another random person...?





But whatever you do... dont mention the middle east...

Lee Rigby was white, and his murder wasn't called a terror attack.

He was checked for sanity, so to say nutjob is excusing his ideological beliefs of hate.
This was racial hatred against an Asian, so see no connection to the Middle East, just you trying to downplay the hate from the far right.

Wasn't it? I thought it was?

Maybe it didn't suit "their" agenda at the time

At the time, there were fears that it might be a terrorist attack and that there might be further incidents. However, the killers were convicted of murder, not terrorism.

I don't think it's helpful for this family to start trying to make this into a political issue. They're even having a go at Tesco.
