Massive Wave Of "Asians" Mysteriously Attacking Jews In Britain

It turns out - shockingly - that Muslims aren't the ones who are most likely to be targeted by hate crimes in Britain. Who knew:

The Sunday Telegraph has obtained information on faith-hate crimes from the Metropolitan Police, Greater Manchester, South Wales and West Mercia forces. In London and Manchester, where Muslims outnumber Jews by four to one, anti-Semitic offences exceeded anti-Muslim offences (see table). The figures do not record the faith of the offenders.

Rabbi Alex Chapper, 33, was the victim of a "faith-hate" crime in July last year. He was returning from a synagogue in Ilford, Essex, with three Jewish friends after conducting a service. All were wearing skull caps. Seven Asian teenagers followed them down the road shouting "Yehudi", which means Jew in Arabic. One of them shouted, "We are Pakistani, you are Jewish. We are going to kill you", before punching Rabbi Chapper in the face and hitting one of his friends over the head with a bottle.

Question: how is it that the continent of origin of the attackers - and the language they speak in - is recorded, but the police report refuses in absolute terms to speculate as to the religion of these seven attackers? Doesn't that seem relevant for determining elements of the crime like, you know, motive? We just can't imagine what religion these anti-Semitic Pakistani Arabic speakers could have been. Maybe they were part of the large population of Arabic-speaking Pakistani Quakers that inhabit the inner cities of Britain.
