The trouble is that the tail has wagged the dog in this country for far too long!
Those Luton "protesters" were given carte blanche to scream and shout some vile insults at our returning troops, not to mention their grossly insulting placards which were incitement to racial hatred in my view!
What, I ask, would have happened had a load of squaddies turned up outside a mosque shrieking all sorts of abuse and with placards bearing caricatures of the prophet Mohammed? Mmmmmmmhhhhhhh, I wonder?
Courts Martial galore!!!! Plus civil prosecutions without shadow of a doubt!
No wonder some thoroughly disenchanted people in this country are driven into the ranks of the BNP!!!

There is a small but vociferous group of Muslims who make the papers every few weeks when something hacks them off.
Do you really expect the hundreds of thousands of moderates to take a day off work to assuage our moral outrage at a drop of a hat?
Besides which, there's a hell of a difference between speaking out against murder and speaking out against a group of lowlifes protesting against returning soldiers.

By the way, remember the London tube bombings? I read Metro newspaper and in the week following it, there was a flood of letters written by Muslims distancing themselves from extremists and urging a dialogue between the Muslim and non-Muslim communities.
Doesn't ever register though - I think that whatever moderates do, they'll always be slated.
It's very disappointing.

There were how many protesting, fifteen to twenty? The Muslim Council of Britain said to-day
The MCB is appalled at media reports of the scenes at a homecoming parade for British soldiers in Luton on 10th March 2009. This small minority do not speak for Muslims but instead provide fodder for Islamophobes keen to drive a wedge between Britons.
Secretary General Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari said, "Whilst we understand the deeply held and widespread opposition to the disastrous war in Iraq, the Muslim Council of Britain condemns any form of protest where individuals are harmed or threatened. The 'protestors' did not speak for the majority of people who opposed that war."
"British soldiers are simply carrying out orders on behalf of the government of the day. They have endured and sacrificed much, and we are glad they are back home", added Dr Abdul Bari.

Joy11 � I can understand your concern and annoyance. But we live in a country where people have the right to protest (as long as you're not too close to Westminster) and where we have 'pseudo' free speech. I say pseudo because there are restrictions on what you can say.
However, when you have free speech you have to put up with people saying things that make your blood boil.
As citizens of the UK the protesters had a right to express their opinions peacefully, regardless of how odious, repugnant and misguided those opinions may be.
Free speech is the cornerstone of Western civilisation and we curtail it at our peril.
