Muslimastan you mean?

Re: Protesting. The boot is on the other foot.
 

If that's where they brought their cultures, customs, and thinking from. yes.

We could rise above it by saying no. the thing you have to understand is that over here things are different. we can't allow you to do one thing whilst not allowing another. the whole thing would be a mockery and there won't be an end to it.

then again you'd face the risk of offending them. so you best say yes anyway.

Re: Protesting. The boot is on the other foot.
 

Ok then I'll use the "them and us" approach you're favouring.

"They" are known for throwing shoes in protest.

"We" are known for throwing eggs in protest.

Re: Protesting. The boot is on the other foot.
 

I'd say us. but it's them that are telling us that them are different to us.

they are known for a lot of things. it's just waiting for when they demand to have the right to do them things.

Re: Protesting. The boot is on the other foot.
 

OK when they start demanding pop back with a thread about it.

Re: Protesting. The boot is on the other foot.
 

I'll probably be 'They want to stone their women and the government is considering making it legal'

Re: Protesting. The boot is on the other foot.
 

First of all I don't think it's compulsory. Secondly, I am not sure whether it is legal to assault a police officer, or anyone else, for that matter. Where in the guidelines does say that it is?

Re: Protesting. The boot is on the other foot.
 

It's an option available to Muslims only.

It's not. unless you're a Muslim you can throw shoes at them.

Can't wait to see a copper giving a Muslim a ticket for something or other, and all the Muslims get out the car and start throwing their shoes at him :D

Re: Protesting. The boot is on the other foot.
 

All of that is a bit silly, isn't it.

First of all, I don't think it is an option for anyone to assault another person and be exonerated due to ones religion. Secondly, this is related to protest, not criminal charges.

Re: Protesting. The boot is on the other foot.
 

Do you think anyone would know the difference?

If I protest at an officer for saying I was driving like a mad man. and started throwing a boot load of shoes at him. it would be assault.

it's not going to be fair telling the muslims they're allowed to do it, and then punish them for when they do.

Re: Protesting. The boot is on the other foot.
 

Traffic offences are not usually considered to be valid reasons for political protest.

Re: Protesting. The boot is on the other foot.
 

You'd be surprised how many people bring politics into everything and not wearing a seatbelt, nowadays.

I hope someone is explaining the differences to them.

Re: Protesting. The boot is on the other foot.
 

Well maybe it is a bit more detailed and we don't know it saying something along the lines of "light footwear would be permissable in a legitimate protest" thus getting past the hob nailed boot thing. Although i do think it's a bit of a dangerous route to go down allowing anything to be thrown during a protest as people generally are not at their most rational sometimes.

Re: Protesting. The boot is on the other foot.
 

Forgetting all the muslim this and that, its clear to see what the serving front line officers think of this rule from Dereks post, thats assuming you arent just the station receptionist Derek :D

Its the police I feel sorry for. I wouldnt like to go to work to have a slipper thrown at me. Id be donning the riot shield and running into the slipper throwers braveheart style if some sweaty old slipper hit me in the face :D Its things like this that feed racism and attract people to the BNP IMO. It certainly doesnt do the muslims ( I hate saying "the muslims" always feels a little bit racist to me but whats a better term?) any favours and only breeds racial hatred. Im certainly not racist but I can see why some people say we are heading towards an Islamic state :(

It should be our country, our laws, same as in any other country. Thats not a racist point of view I just dont understand why or how people can expect to move to another country and get laws changed in favour of themselves. I dont normally get drawn into this type of thing and I will probably get shot down for my views but its stories like this that make me angry

Pigs trotters should disperse any angry mobs then ?
