Riots are exploding across the U.K. Groups of white men and groups of Muslims have been clashing in the streets. How did we get here?

From The Daily Wire. Three little girls, aged six to nine, were stabbed to death while attending a Taylor Swift-themed dance party in a small seaside town in England on July 29.

The suspect, Axel Rudakubana, who is just shy of his 18th birthday, is accused of entering a pregnancy center in Southport, England, and stabbing nearly a dozen children and two adults. Bebe King, 6; Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7; and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, 9, died as a result of their injuries, Sky News reported. …

In the wake of the stabbing, the suspect was falsely accused of being a Muslim asylum seeker, even though he was born in Cardiff, Wales, and moved to Lancashire, England. The belief that an asylum seeker committed the vicious attack led to riots against the influx of immigrants across Britain.

The response to the original murders has outweighed coverage of the crime itself, with media and politicians in the U.K. calling the rioters “far right,” “thugs,” and “hooligans.” There are, indeed, extremists amongst the rioters targeting mosques and Muslims. It is also true that a distrust of illegal immigration has been simmering amongst the British people for some time, and has finally erupted. …

There have also been Muslim counter-protests, The Telegraph reported, which have resulted in additional violence. Footage on social media has shown groups of Muslims carrying weapons, and the Telegraph reported groups in Bolton shouted “Allahu Akbar” as they fought anti-immigration rioters. …

Lord, by the power in your Holy blood, we rebuke the demonic forces in riotous, militant groups and ask for your Spirit to pour out love and peace on those embroiled with anger. Give police and lawmakers your wisdom and understanding to bring resolution to those concerned.
Lord, we see these issues erupting around the world; Great Briton, Bangladesh, Venezuela and Nigeria. Lord, you came to bring us Life, Jn.10.10. Heal our hearts and our cities, in your abundant mercy and grace. Amen

Lord I pray against this civil unrest in the country of my birth. This situation has been brewing for sometime as the British citizens have seen their nation and values being eroded by excessive immigration of immigrants who despise Western values and the simultaneous takeover of Muslims in many cities. They are tired of the two tiered justice system that protect Muslim pro Hamas protests, while labeling White protesters as ‘ far right thugs and hooligans’ Jewish citizens are offered no protection and were even told ‘not to appear Jewish’ when they go out as their form of protection. The Prime Minister and other politicians appear to have abandoned the native British people in favor of Muslims and immigrants. As someone who is from England, I have been hearing about these concerns fro family members for a while. Please continue to pray for the UK. They are literally on the verge of civil war.

Intercede against escalation: reaction to one injustice leading to more injustices … and the cycle escalates! This tends to happen in riots. Pray for the law enforcement and public officials to have wisdom and skill in preventing this cycle; they may be best positioned to the the peacemakers: Matthew 5:9 by exercising Romans 13:.4.
