    The Police are quite rightly cracking down on those who would use the disgusting and wicked happenings in Telford and elsewhere to stir up racial hatred.

    Your picture BTW is very misleading. British police are not routinely armed.

    A backlash against Muslims after Telford is exactly what the Jihadis want: the more Muslims that get beaten up by racists the more chance there is of them being radicalized

    You boys think that a FB post should get a Brit arrested, but you turn a blind eye to the rape of your women. That's disgusting, and it's why I have little hope for the UK. Most of the men have all left.

    Now soyboys want people actually arrested for posting on Facebook. They are more concerned about Muslims than their our daughters. It's beyond words.

    If it's inciting violence against others - women or men - then you're darn right they should get arrested and put before a court. Why? Because they've committed a crime, as have the individuals in Telford. They too will be put before a court. You see, we have this pesky thing called due process which protects against lynch mob 'justice' whether physically or via "trial by social media". Sorry if you don't like that we have the Rule of Law here. I'd rather have that than encounter Strange Fruit.

    Here's a thought [edit]: They probably know a lot more about the situation than you do.

    And your [edit]"soyboys" comment tells everyone that you are listening to the wrong people.

    You want people ARRESTED for making comments on Facebook. Do you understand that's Nazi 101?! Do you understand you undercut your own freedoms when you do this?!

    YES!!!! A thousand times YES!!! WHy? Because free speech is invaluable!

    I may not like it, but I would defend anyone's right to say it.

    If I don't they will one day come for me because I said Muhammad is a false prophet.

    What the actual heck?! So if someone dies because they get incited by that comment, you're cool with that?!

    Words fail me.

    It's called freedom of speech. Go learn something.

    Shouting "fire" in a crowded theatre is freedom of speech then.

    (It's also murder in my book but, heck, don't let Christian ethics get in the way of your argument.)

    Being critical of Islam is not shouting fire in a crowed theater.

    You will keep defending it until the day they come for your daughter or wife, and then, my friend, it will be too late. Then who is culpable for what happens to them???

    I don't defend Islam. It's a false religion. I defend Muslims, including their right to practise their religion, because they're people, and I defend people's right to observe their religious beliefs, as long as they don't harm others. You play the ball, not the man. Sorry that you can't seem to see the difference.

    Have you defended the rights of the "far right" to practice their "religion"?

    That's odd. On another thread it seemed that they knew a lot more about the situation here than we do. :Cautious
