Should the pastor who planned to burn copies of the Koran be allowed into Britain?

No. The USA wouldn't allow one of our nutters to visit them.

[Bobbisox]

we have enough nutter here now Naomi, with giving out invite,,lol
No, he would incite racial hatred and should stay with his huge following of 50 parishioners ;-)

[jackthehat]

I think I could do with additional hands to help me sort this out...........
"On the one hand...........but on the other.............and then on the other.........and there again........".

[Ankou]

one wonders why the edl have invited him? not to hear his spiritual penticostal message surely?

i take it they haven't sent him pictures of luton, otherwise he'd refuse himself.

[ummmm]

No, I don't think he should be allowed.

[Ankou]

oh i say let him come, let him go, and implore the media not to notice.

Just lately it is like living in a dream world to be on AnswerBank.

When I read this question I thought I have already posted a question on this, but if I hadn't I have answered on someone else's question on the same subject.?????

But no I can't be dreaming, the other alternative it must have been removed for some unknown reason.

Well what I said last time was, no we should not let him in, just as we should not let Muslim extremists in.

When Britain wakes up and realises that the EDL are not a Fascist organisation, but just a body to try and make a stand against the rise of Islam and extremist Muslims, then we wont need foreigners coming over here to stir things up, we will be then alert enough to deal with such problems ourselves.

[anotheoldgit]

Just thought of what the question's headline was,

"Should be of interest to supporters of the EDL and BNP"

Can't remember who posted it though.

[douglas9401]

Yes he should be allowed in. All this flag/effigy/book/cd/whatever burning can't be left as the sole preserve of pretendy radicalised, pampered children of hard working parents.
We need our own loonies to speak for us.

[eyethenkyew]

Sure, let him in - just make sure that you hide your Koran!!!

[youngmafbog]

Providing he is not intending to break any laws then it is difficult not to let him in - if you believe in free speech.

Free speach means sometimes hearing the unpalitable but that is no reason to silence it, it should be debated - in the open.

[jackthehat]

'He' may not be breaking laws but you can bet your bottom-dollar that his visit *will* provoke lawlessness at substantial cost for the tax-payer.

He is a one-topic speaker...............as Ankou says, if the edl are in fear for their souls we have many home-grown men of the cloth to whom they could turn.

[Ankou]

......

"We are pleased to announce that the English Defence League (EDL), the American Defense League (ADL), and all the international Defense Leagues connected with those groups have confirmed and support our work. The English Defense League has also invited Dr Jones to come to a historic Rally of theirs, February 5, 2011, Luton, England. During the protest, Dr. Terry Jones, will speak against the evils and destructiveness of Islam in support of the continued fight against the Islamification of England and Europe."

it kinda makes the edl sound a bit impotent if they can't manage "speaking for england" without his american input.

[rov1200]

Not to worry... the EDL now do not want him to speak... something about his views on immigration and racalism.

[naomi24]

I'm in two minds. My initial thought was let him in and give him no press coverage whatsoever. Then the image of the mad Muslim clerics who spout nothing but hatred sprang to mind - and oh boy! How I would like to see them ejected unceremoniously from this country! Just like several people here I need more hands. :o)

[ludwig]

No. He's just trying to stir up up trouble, and we've got enough people here already who are capable of doing that. He should stay in America and stir up trouble there.
