Last night, the rioters came to Birmingham.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>Haroon, Abdul Musavir, 31, and Shazad Ali, 31, were mowed down as they stood on the pavement protecting their mosque and businesses in the community. Today, a 32-year-old man was being questioned on suspicion of murder.<\/p>\n  \n  <p>The father said he was standing round the corner as the car mounted the pavement and knocked down the three young men. He said he acted instinctively and helped &#8211; without realising his boy was one of the trio who were fatally injured. Mr Jahan said: &#8216;The car came up on the pavement for God knows what reason and I was standing nearby. &#8216;I heard it happen and I turned round and I saw three people on the ground and my instinct to help and I started CPR and someone told me that one of them was my son.&#8217; [<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-2024375\/BIRMINGHAM-RIOTS-Tariq-Jahan-tells-thugs-killed-son-Haroon-2-friends.html\">dailymail<\/a>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>Some moving words from Tariq Jahan, father to the 21 year old Haroon Jahan.<\/p>\n\n<p><center><\/p>\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"349\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OAXv5CRocvg\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n\n<p>I&#8217;m not condoning the violence, but clearly the situation has reached a critical moment in the UK and the people believe things have got to change. Mass media is billing what is happening in the UK as a &#8220;race&#8221; riot or a &#8220;youth&#8221; insurgency &#8211; but the victims in this case were South Asian youth.
