They have a right to peaceful protest Ben, like anybody else.
What they dont have a right to do is threaten acts of terrorism or killing people. Actually planning and carrying out a terrorist attack is a far way off some badly thought out reactionary placards with 9/11 and 7/7 references on them, most of which were more backlashes in a "you've offended us now we will try offend you" sort of way than actual threats. Obviously it worked. You're offended enough to want to kick them out. The biggest idiots in all this are the Norwedian, French, Spanish, Italian and German newpapers who reprinted the cartoons just to make a freedom of speach point. I'm well up for freedom of speach and of course they've got a right to print the cartoons if they want, but some fucking common sense would be nice.

Didn't our news channels also show them "in context" (of the story). Besides, I know the reaction seems a little more widespread and extreme in this case, but remember the shit kicked up by the nutter Christians about Jerry Springer - The Operah. In conclusion, all religious nutters are by definition nutters.

Infact I don't really see the problem in any of this. The Danish newspaper is (and should be) allowed to print a crap offensive cartoon and any muslims who get offended are (and should be) allowed to show their anger with some demonstrations. Spot on FB - most sensible comment I've seen on this so-called "furore" so far. And might I add that both the papers who thought they were bravely unfurling the banner of freedom of speech by printing crap cartoons and the idiots who are so offended by some crap cartoions they set fire to flags are a bunch of tits?

If I went out with a sign saying "Kill all muslims who protest" I'd be racist!

I saw on the front page of the Express that some bloke went to the London protest with a suicide bomb belt on. :?

I'm more intrigued by the Curo come when reference. Must be a lost Colchester fan. Most of those protesters are in their teens and early 20's and I'd wager half of them don't carry the convictions of the placards they're carrying. Doesn't make it any better in fact it's probably worse but these Asian lads do have a tendency to get a bit excited and overreact without engaging brain at times. Plus I’m sure there’s some of the old ‘us and them’ mentality that festers which can develop into mob mentality.
