Poppy Burning

Post by cena-rules »

So, for those of you that don't know. Today a bunch of Muslims (now this isn't bigotry, it's simply the fact) burnt a giant poppy in the middle of london at 11am, coinciding with the 2 minutes silence for remembrance day.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/8126357/Muslims-clash-with-police-after-burning-poppy-in-anti-Armistice-Day-protest.html

Now, I am of the belief that if they don't like what our army has done, then they can f*ck right off out of our country.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1328703/Remembrance-Day-Poppy-burning-Muslim-protesters-mar-Armistice-Day.html

That contains some of the disgusting slogans that these disrespectful little tossers were carrying today

At the end of the day, the people they disrespected died so that they are able to live in our country, work in our country and died for their freedom to express their own religion.

So if they want to do this, then the Koran burning is obviously allowed.

Bunch of fucking mugs!

If you send me a Koran I will burn it for you and post it in youtube. I cannot burn a bible tho, my family would hate me. In case Pirlo read this: I'm only joking.

They should clearly be deported as they don't represent Islam or the UK. All in favour?

If you look at it from the angle of "They are using our rules against us, and have plenty of leftist support" it actually makes sense....

A group of 50 muslims is not indicative of the wider populace, the average quiet peaceful muslim family who will now feel terrorised by the hate and vitriol they will now see posted on newspapers like the daily mail. There are radicals in all fields of life and now unfortunately due to actions of a small minority there are going to be numerous rammifications.

Just want to clarify, this is not about the remembrance. The burning was not against soldiers. Apparently, poppies mean one thing to the British and something else entirely to Arabs. Poppies and the opium trade were apparently heavily involved in the British Empire's takeover, some say exploitation of various Asian regions.

I don't think burning a poppy was a great thing, but education seems to be the answer. Probably education on both sides.

The problem is there are at least 2 sides to every story and extremists all over the place... and every extremist just makes matters worse imho. Good for one person may be bad for another. Perspective always makes a difference. The problem is that fundamentalists generally carry things too far and there is no portrayal of why they feel the way they feel .... generally its just hate which begets more hate!

It's hard not to call bullshit.

Poppies may mean something different to those burning them, but they CHOSE November 11th to do it on for the sensationalism.

Well f*ck them for their insensitivity. This kind of backlash, ignorant or otherwise was expected and welcomed by those planning it.
I can't go and burn a Koran in the middle of Masjid al-Harām in Makkah on Laylat al-Qadr then fall back on that I'm protesting all organized religion. Then berate those who protest my actions that they should be more open minded and tolerant when I choose to settle in their country.

So are you saying a significant number of British Muslims automatically agree with the 34 guys who burned a poppy? Or that 34 people holding extreme beliefs is somehow an indication of the fall of Britain?

You also seem to be implying an increase in Muslims in your state is something to be feared.

Thank you for clarifying these points. As allways your knowlege and insight to the things only you and the intellectual elite are privy to has helped to correct the missinformed. I just can't wait for you to clarify the sign that read, "British soldiers burn in hell!"

Because no matter what good soldiers bring to a nation, all major religion believe that killing someone will send you to hell.

surely then Nag it is time for ALL the peaceful muslim family to stand up and be counted. they either want to be part of the British culture(I'm not saying denounce all links to Pakistan) or they don't. why don't they have a rally supporting the British troops. I won't hold my breath, because then the extremists will attack them.

The common rumour floating around about the suicide bomber dudes is the promise of "A trip to paradise with the prize of one virgin per infedel they take with them."

How does that fit in with, "all major religion believe that killing someone will send you to hell." and why doesn't the sign clearify. "Soldiers that killed" as opposed to just "British" ones.
