After the riots, the media sort the heroes from the villains…

and the no.1 media hero is…a Muslim: Tariq Jahan

“I am a Muslim. I believe in divine fate and destiny, and it was his destiny and his fate, and now he’s gone. And may Allah forgive him and bless him,” Jahan said of his 21-year-old son, Haroon, who was deliberately mown down by louts in a car, along with two of his friends.


According to today’s Guardian: ‘Jahan’s faith gives him an explanation, comfort and the strength to come out to face the cameras – probably his first such experience – and say all the right things in his grief. Amazing.’
