Excerpt:
Vigilante gangs of Islamic extremists have been branded "complete bigots" by fellow Muslims.
Five people, including two teenagers, were arrested after a group calling itself the Muslim Patrol posted footage on YouTube showing a gang hurling abuse at a homosexual man and described white women as "naked animals with no self–respect".
In a separate incident in the early hours of January 6, vigilantes assaulted a white man in his 20s in what police described as a "hate crime".
