Halal shop in Tallaght, Ireland attacked by racist vandals last Saturday The walls were covered with racist slogans such as Pakis out, Nigges and Niggrs out. It is a family run business and the family has been in Ireland for more than 18 years. Mohammed Djellal from Algeria and his father were very upset but they were focussed on getting the shop up and running as soon as possible. They could not believe the hatred against them and called upon the people who did this to consider how wrong their actions were. On Sunday evening, I wrote a short article about it and circulated it on social media (#racism #antiracism). The same night there was a huge outrage on social media against this racist attack and within a day, the article had hit more than 1200 reads. There were hundreds of tweets condemning this racist attack. There were solidarity and offers of assistance from various other support and campaign groups. People on social media were offering help, sending messages of solidarity and strongly rejecting such racist attacks. It was evident that many people never thought that such an attack can happen in Ireland. There were a number of people who offered to go and help with the clean-up. minordetailsnews.net/article/follow-report-racist-attack-halal-shop-tallaght
