Sikh evironmentalist abused outside UK Parliament by man who tells him “Go home Muslim’

LONDON: A well-known Sikh environmentalist said he was approached by a man outside Portcullis House in Westminster who tried to rip off his turban, shouting “Muslim, go back.”
Indian national Ravneet Singh, a project manager at EcoSikh, was waiting outside the office of MP Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi to discuss plans for establishing the charity in the UK when a man came running toward him and began shaking his turban.
“He was pulling at my turban strongly. It half moved and I grabbed it. Before he could do anything else I shouted at him and he ran,” Singh told The Independent newspaper.
“He was a white man, but he didn’t sound English. He said something like ‘Muslim go back’.”
Police are investigating the incident. No arrests have yet been made.

Somalia’s Al-Shabab vows to fight any Israeli use of Somaliland

MOGADISHU: Somalia’s Al-Qaeda-linked militant group Al-Shabab vowed Saturday to fight any attempt by Israel “to claim or use parts of Somaliland” following its recognition of the breakaway territory.
“We will not accept it, and we will fight against it,” Al-Shabab said in a statement.
It said Israel’s recognition of Somaliland as a sovereign state showed it “has decided to expand into parts of the Somali territories” to support “the apostate administration in the northwest regions.”
