I agree with the fact that they can protest as this is a right of this country but your analogy is flawed.Damocles said:S.E.H said:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1240044/Outrage-Islamic-extremists-vow-march-streets-Wootton-Bassett.html
And before the liberals say it, no I am not anti-islam, but its this type of scum that are like a plague on the planet!
Think of it this way. You move to a country, I don't know, let's say Japan.
Over the course of your life here, you are generally happy and sociable. Then, the Japanese invade England to 'protect their freedom' from English terrorists. This is despite the fact that no English terrorist has ever actually committed a terrorist offence in Japan.
In every facet of society, people who are going off to fight a war in your country are returning as heroes. Deep down, you know that they have killed Englishmen, and that the Japanese society is celebrating this fact.
What would you do? Say "okey dokey"? Or would you get involved in a march?
Everybody is entitled to protest anything that they disagree with in this country. It is a fundamental right of living here, and is older than you and I. If you start saying that certain groups can't protest, because you find it tasteless, it's a really bad road to go down.
A more accurate analogy is that when we were at war with Italy did all Catholics start marching in protest? Strapping bombs to their selves and blowing Londoners up?
No they didn't it was not about religion and neither is it in Afghanistan. We did not invade because they are Muslims. We invaded because a NATO partner was attacked.
We do not look at someone’s religion when we form foreign policy and neither should we.
I did not see Christians marching when we bombed Serbia to defend Muslims in Kosovo.
The thing is we are, in the most part not invading or having a war with any countries that the people marching are from most are born in Britain. They are saying we cannot have a war with a country of the same religion as them. Why is that the case?
You can argue that these wars should not take place but once you start saying it is wrong because they are fellow Muslims then you lose my support.
In World War II we interred all Italians and Germans as they would represent a threat to Britain.
If these people say that a war on one Muslim is a war with all Muslims then is it OK to inter all Muslims until we complete this war?
Probably 20 years or so? Obviously not and I would never propose such a thing.
