No one likes what the government does, this isn't the same thing as a tax revolt or "we won't fly", "don't touch my junk." etc. etc.
I would possibly respect your attempts to stand up for Islam here if you did not ignore certain parts and buy into public relations style excuses for what these particular morons did. Seperate them out and stop using words that discribe them as muslem. I'm was all for that to the point of suggesting they didn't represent Islam.
If it happened in july I could buy the "but the poppies represent opium." excuse. It was november 11th and coupled with their signs, the poppies full well represented flanders fields. If they were ignorant of that I don't care and refuse to sympthise with you or them.
My point is that it is important for the UK and or her commonwealths/former commonwealths to have a military and the residents of that country must support them as it's the toughest job in the world. A countries armed forces are part of that country. These are free countries, everyone has a right to not like them and leave. Further you can complain about the military without being hatefull and pick another time or else suffer consequences. That there would be a form of "education".
It is just rediculas to allow these protesters to stay after what they did. There should be laws about it. No jail, no cane, no fines, pack your things and leave.
Go to Iraq and complain about their soldiers and government if you want to be cool. Oh yeah you don't want to live there because it sucks like most of the middle east countries. FACT. You want to live in a place that is tolerant toward you being an asshole. Fine I'll tolerate it but I'm going to complain. Alot.
