Well, there may be some chance that Russia done it.
Pretty darn slim and highly unlikely so without any evidence why speculate?
"We are continuing to work alongside the West London Islamic Centre who have been very supportive of our investigation and have been assisting us with our enquiries.
“A key part of that is identifying the man in the image we have released. If you recognise this man I would urge you to get in touch, either directly with police or to remain anonymous, contact Crimestoppers. I would also urge anyone who witnessed this incident and has not yet spoken to police to please get in touch.”
If you recognise the man in the image or have any other information that could help the investigation please call police on 101 and give reference 6422/27FEB.

As you know nothing about life over here may I, with all due respect, suggest that you keep your ill informed opinions to yourself?
I suggested no such thing, I was simply suggesting that that might be the logical result were the UK to follow your advice to Criminalise Islam and therefore millions of Muslims here in the UK bearing in mind that we do not have prison space to hold such high numbers.
"Everything is hate speech in England, you must not have looked too deep into their religious manual."
Sorry but that is just nonsense.
At this point it seems quite obvious that you are here to provoke folk. There's a word for that sort of thing.

Nobody ever has wild speculations here on ATS thats for sure...
*What I've learned so far
It's safe to be a muslim in England if you're a pensioner but you might get set on fire by Russians...

this is a particularly heinous act. So heinous it's possible it was revenge for some grievance between the two,

The burning thing is a common theme it seems when I googled it, like the hot oil thing they do to women.
It was symbolic but someone else will have to decipher that.
Is it more heinous than if the man stabbed him to death?
I don't think he was trying to kill him and was "teaching him a lesson" of some kind.
We also do not know the full extent to his burns as in is he out of the hospital right now walking around?
The elderly victim was taken to hospital with severe burns to his neck, back, ears and hand after the attack outside the West London Islamic Center in Ealing.

Hell of a lesson to teach an 82-year-old pensioner.
And what makes you think it was a lesson?
Looks to be more like arson and attempted murder.
"Voluntary taxes" that must be double speak?
As we all know there would be no sympathy for the victim if they were both Christians.
Well Americans have a lot in common with the Irish I suppose, we like to scrap with eachother, it's a masculine bonding custom Britons may be unaware of those nuances.

I'm thinking being doused with petrol and set alight is pretty much one of the worst most agonizing ways to die imaginable.
Just because they are both Muslim doesn't mean any lessons were involved and to which ways do you refer?
The guy may just have been a complete and utter whackjob, in fact, i don't think there is much doubt about that fact given what he did to the old fellow.

I guess that's why Sunak is a (Nazi?) for wanting to stop the viscous cycle of boats.
When are these people going to get over the Nazi's.
Whatever happened to the immigration points system?
England is pretty small...
Right wing fascist probably.

A man in his 80s has suffered severe burns to his arms and face after a man set fire to him as they both left a mosque in London.
The worshipper, 82, was leaving the West London Islamic Centre on Singapore Road in Ealing on February 27 at about 8pm, when the suspect started talking to him.
The pair spoke for about five minutes before the attacker poured a liquid over him that police believe is petrol.
The suspect then set him on fire with a lighter before walking away.
Officers are hunting the suspect and have released images of a man they are looking for in connection with the incident.
Manhun t After Worshipper in his 80s Doused In petrol And Set Alight Outside London Mosque
The poor man, and what a horrible depraved act to commit on a pensioner.
Who the hell does something like that and why???!!!
The stuff of nightmares really.
At least authorities know what the bastard looks like and hopefully he is apprehended sharpish before he manages to hurt anyone else or set some other poor sod alight.
Did he die?
I made an opinion, and you disagree we can leave it at that. The pictures show him praying and they talked for 5 mins before he attacked so you know in the end...
