While a demonstration had been promised outside a Birmingham Gurdwara because of a marriage between a Sikh woman and Muslim man, the matter took a serious and more violent form of protest. The perpetrators would appear to be against the Sikh religion rather than upholders of a faith which has proud traditions. Early in the morning someone set light to three cars in the driveway of Jarnail Singh Bhogal at the family home in Handsworth Wood.
It has not been established who perpetrated this criminal act, but the sooner they are brought to justice the better it will be for all of us.
It appears that the bridegroom accepted Sikh values, so precisely what the problem is for the protesters I fail to see. Any excuse for gratuitous violence seems the only answer.
