A Voice From a Community

This man Tariq Jahan, is a grieving father who lost his son when he and two other boys from the local community were peacefully protecting their properties. All three were killed outright when a car drove straight at them. A 32 year old man who could be the driver is now in custody. Mr Jahan is just an ordinary law abiding man with an ordinary family. Later a group of around 200 local residents held a peaceful candlelit vigil in memory of the three deceased. He acts with such dignity and speaks words of real wisdom. Let's all come together and listen to a genuine voice from the community.

  1. Impressive. He truly is a heroic man. I hope his voice can be heard above those who advocate the opposite - sometimes for no other reason than greed.

    Betty and I pray for peace in your country.

    Thanks for sharing.

  2. Wow - he seemed so calm and rational after just losing a child! This is the kind of video that should be going viral and I will be sharing it with my friends!

    I wish you and England peace and calm!

  4. Thanks for the comment Dan. Mr Jahan seems to have touched the British nation, in his calls for calm and restraint. May the residents of Birmingham's community continue to respect this man's wishes.
