UK TREND : Ramadan chaos in Small Heath, Birmingham
In an effort to eradicate illegal street market stalls during Ramadan, officers reported that bottles have been thrown at them. As a sizable crowd gathered in Small Heath, Birmingham, at 1:30 BST on Sunday, the incident took place.

Police claimed that the operation, which involved trading standards officers, was in response to complaints from locals about blocked roads and anti-social behaviour. Prior to now, nearby businesses, imams, and MPs have expressed their concerns about how increased traffic congestion, anti-social behaviour, littering, and alleged illegal street vendors are making life difficult for locals.
Following the incident, people have used the hashtag #Coventry Road on twitter to talk about what happened. People were shocked and disappointed by the actions of those who attacked the police officers because it is humiliating and gives a poor impression of Muslims, especially during Ramadan.

People were shocked with “ the behaviour of some unruly individuals”. This was no surprise as residents have complained for weeks about the litter, noise, blocked roads and pavements as a result of the unauthorised market.
Another user was disappointed in the individuals who “ have been so obsessed with the ‘small heath after taraweeh >>>’ aesthetic that they forget how to behave. This behaviour goes completely against what Ramadan is for and gives Muslims a bad representation.”
