            The shooting of 17 year Muslim youth Tarek Chaiboub on Spital Street within Burngreave on Friday 11th July 2008 in broad day-light is the consequence of the historical lack of economic of investment in our area; and as a result of the incoherent analysis of youth work ideology and practice with the added knock – on effect on our young people to lose respect for each other and their community. Clearly, most would agree that the alienation frustration and anger of young people will not disappear without fundamental political/economic change in our social structure.

          • [] Muslim Youth: The underclass of the new Millenium

            This article/paper was the main basis/content of an e-mail sent by Matloub Husayn Ali Khan (Vice-chair of BCAT) to the chair of the Interim partnership board (IPB) Burngreave New Deal for Communities (BNDFC) on 8th August, 2001 in the aftermath of Bradford ‘race riots’ and a month prior to the tragic events of 11th September 2001 (9/11). Currently, many LEAs have no coherent policy or analysis on the implementation of resources specifically targetted to Asian, Muslim or Black young people, according to my own research and other research findings in Sheffield between 1989-99: the findings have revealed that the identity of being Asian is no longer in vogue but new emerging identity of being Muslim first and then your ethnic origin of Somali, Kashmiri, Pakistani and Indian.
