I have a feeling there is very different other side to this story.
The real story always turns out to be different.
People are all breathless over this because it's Muslims going after gays but I guarantee there was a reason for all this shit and that it isn't being reported.
I've heard of a lot of racist incidents in my lifetime and almost none of them turned out to be real. Every single one of them was "some scumbags got into an argument with some other scumbags, everyone was dicks to each other, shit escalated and got violent and now one side is trying to use the claim of racism to excuse their own behaviour."
It's all just dicks being dicks to dicks.
I would bet any money that there's a lot more to the story. Who has ever heard of a family of Muslims seeing a couple of gay guys walking down the street, minding their own business and deciding to viciously assault them in this country?

Popcorn time indeed.
I believe the poofters more than the muzzies in this one. The reason is the classic trope from hate hoaxes- the immediate resort to clumsy, open racism from the bad guy:
...right after he's shoulder charged a woman off a scooter for no apparent reason. I think he didn't get out of the way fast enough, but electric scooter riders on the pavement are almost certainly in the wrong if a pedestrian is hit IMO.
