Ok a serious post from me. Came across this video and gave it a watch.
Now this isn't to do with what's going on in Iraq, Syria etc.. but more to do in the UK as this is where the protests took place. Now I think the video is a couple of years old and some of it doesn't sit right with me, as though it's sort of staged.
Anyway, I took interest as myself, like the girl have been out of the UK for a good few years now and for most every day Brits who here about "Islam this" and "Islam that" do they brush it off their shoulders and are not truly arsed what's going on or is there concern about these type of incidents?
I know most of these protestors are a minority and there are probably scores of non practicing Muslims in the UK so I am not judging Islam as such on a whole, but rather these protestors. I found the guy in the beard a bit of a knob, as for me, I wouldn't like someone forcing their views or opinions on me. Would you say these are extremists?

Bottom line, wonder what your thoughts are? Please try not to mudsling blues.

I don't judge Muslims by these fucking nutjobs any more than I judge football fans by the actions of football hooligans.

So we can agree that these Muslims are nutjobs, I wonder what would normal Muslims think of this?
 
No wonder they are so angry. It's a hot day and they are wearing the completely wrong attire. Perhaps a shorts and t shirt combo would appease them?
 
They are free to say 'burn in Hell, disbelievers go to Hell' etc. They're also free to fuck off somewhere like Iraq if it makes them happier.
 
It's about time we give these people some unpopulated land where they can all live in peace and practise their laws, somewhere in Cumbria perhaps. I wonder how many would go and how many would stay.

And for those that do go, we should round them up and put them on a boat to a country more fitting for them. That way you lose the deadwood and keep the good.

And what has Cumbria ever done to you?

So does parts of Wales! Aren't some of the Outer Hebrides uninhabited?
 
More to the point, I share their apparent dislike for Stacey Dooley.

Where did she come from before she got all these BBC3 programmes? She seems to have little working knowledge of the stories she reports on, constantly gives arguments a sense of false balance, her 'investigative journalism' is just like her own personal soapbox and most of all she comes across as fundamentally unlikable and whiny.

I say send her back to where she came from. The Muslims can stay, they're alright by me.

In answer to your question Paphos, most people in the UK (younger people at least) will have friends who are Muslims or from a Muslim background. If you have the benefit of that experience, then you'll know they aren't some singular amorphous blob of scary foreigners. Their opinions on issues vary vastly from person to person, but rather than take each individual on their merits it's much easier for some to slap the label 'Muslim' on them and call them all evil and say we should get rid of them. Many people can't seem to get by in life until they've categorised everybody into neat little boxes.

I lose no sleep over this minority of people with extreme views. I think I'm more worried by the amount of influence the media has over people's opinions on issues like immigration and human rights. Alas it was ever thus.

Even these lunatics? The fact that they're Muslims doesn't matter. Anyone who hates the UK, "UK go to hell" can go and find somewhere else to live.

If they don't like the UK so much what are they doing here?

I know many Muslims and they are fine, extremely friendly no problems at all.

This lot can **** off.

Hope you're ok mate. Yeah, I have Muslim friends and to me they are decent, ordinary people. A couple over the northern side of Cyprus too. I've been out of the country for 10 years and before that as far as I can remember, none of these protests ever happened. The only mither was when Wilmslow Rd was closed for Eid, but hey, let them have their fun. Sure the protestors aren't causing any harm, everyone has free right. It just struck a nerve about the bloke forcing his religious opinion on that woman. I know there are a lot more people like him, and for me, he can fuck off.

As I said to Skash before, I wonder what your everyday normal working, praying Muslim would think of these protestors?
 
Ive seen that before, gets me upset and angry for the girl. Disgusting they say they dont give a fuck about our law and they're only bothered about what islam supposedly states.

I agree.

Wore a black T-shirt the other day in the sun and I was sweating like a scouser in comet. Fuck knows how hot it must be under those veils.

Ah well. Each to their own.
