Nazi website threatens Asian people

Racists have used a US nazi website to threaten to shoot and hunt Asian people who visit the Peak District National Park.

American Nazis picked up a story in Asian News about a park initiative to get more minority ethnic people to enjoy the countryside and posted it on the Stormfront White Nationalist Community website. This resulted in a torrent of extreme racist and violent comments from UK racists enraged that Muslims were "invading" one of the most unspoilt areas of Britain.

Many of the comments are too vile to reproduce but one speculated that Asians might use remote country areas for terrorist training. A correspondent named "axion knight" replied: "Cool! I have an old air rifle, if guys n gals want to meet up and bring a few 'pea shooters' along, we can have a good old competition. 50 points for their eyes." Another suggested that as the "barmy PC and loony left government" has banned hunting animals with dogs, Muslims could be substituted for foxes. A further contributor advocated sending packs of racist skinheads to confront Asian visitors.

The police said there was very little they could do as the website was located abroad. However Inspector Andy Searl of Hyde Police said he was "looking into the possibility of doing something about any UK-based individuals who posted up hate messages on the site".
