Re: Islamic group's plan to march through Wootton Bassett
 
This country is fighting a war. Now whether you agree with it or not, its happening. If anyone wants to stop it, lobby the government, demonstrate against them. You don't shoot the messenger.

We currently have a forces recruitment shortage, we need young men & women, demonstrations like this do not enhance recruitment. We are currently engaged in so many overseas conflicts, as peacekeepers, advisers, yes even combatants. Most in places some of you have never heard of.

Our forces are following orders. Orders from a democratically elected government. Now this government may be weak at the knees, they may be selling our culture, heritage, history & way of life down the river, but to change anything starts with the ballot box.

Unfortunately, the ballot box has failed, the government has failed, & is continuing to fail on a daily basis. Muslims are walking all over us & demanding more & more. Marching on this little town would be the final straw. It only takes a spark to set a fire. This is far too volatile to allow.

There is so much more to this than just a protest. Personally, I`m sick & tired of hearing about Muslims. Muslim this & Muslim that. For crying out loud, just get on with your own life & stop trying to change ours.

Not many of you have ever been involved in a conflict, so you know nothing. I can tell you this, when lads come home, on leave, some after bagging their friends body up, & see these, *****s demonstrating against them, tempers will rise. No discipline in the world will overcome the emotions.

Now now girls, lets all kiss and make up. I have not got time to sit at a computer all day but this post, from my last visit, has become very heated. Right or wrong, this march should not be allowed to happen. It will offend most of the UK born citizens who hold christian values, unless someone comes back and tells me this is a fantasy and I have to back this statement up with Mori poll facts.

Then just prior to the cortege we have a protest march by muslims walking the same route carrying mock coffins, what kind of reaction would that receive, as I have no doubt this is the real intention of this protest to dishonour our dead and provoke a violent reaction.

If this march is allowed to go ahead I shudder to think what may happen.

they could easily stop it happening at the same time as the police could easily persude a judge that a breach of the peace may occur if that was allowed

but if they want to march at any other time then so be it

just ignore them if the press and every one else just didnt bother to turnm up they would soon give up on doing it again

Do you really believe British servicemen and women fight and die for other people's freedoms ? Are you really that naive ?

I'll let you in on a secret, though it's not really a secret....

When I was in the army back in the 80's and 90's, I and my mates didn't really give a toss about Kuwait or Saudi when Op Granby started. We had been given a job to do, and we cracked on, not really caring about the larger political implications of leaving Saddam and the Baath Party in power after kicking the crap out of the Iraqi Army.... It wasn't much of a war, but it was fun. ;)

The UN Mission in Bosnia during their Civil War was different. Lots of blokes who did time there wanted to get stuck in and give the Serbs a pasting. Again, not because of freedom and democracy, but because we hated seeing the Serbs murdering women, kids and old men and women. Doing that breaks the most basic code of the warrior. Add in the UN weapons embargo against the entire country and the Serbs ended up with the lions share of the military hardware and the ability to do as they pleased....

From speaking to a lifelong friend of mine, who is a Staff Sgt in one of the local TA infantry battalions. Who has done operational tours in both Iraq and Afghan, it seems similar sentiments are running through the army. Most agree that Iraq was a disaster, but Afghan is worth cracking on with.... From my own experience in Bosnia, I'm pretty sure the blokes in Afghan empathize with the plight of the average Afghan civi. But all the politicians talk in the UK about building democracy, putting girls in schools, etc etc etc is pretty much meaningless.... They are there to find and kill the enemy, others can do the building....

One last point before I finish....

We all recognize that when the troops get sent into harms way, and blood becomes the issue. We'll kill for you, but if we die, it's for our mates and the people we love. Not for Queen and Country, because that comcept is too big to rationalize....

I'll not be taking any further part in this discussion, as I've said more than I intended, and prolly caused some confusion as well....

I was in the armed forces, early 70's. Not a troublesome time I agree, but I would try to discourage any family member of mine to give up his life for Queen and country. Family and mates yes. I can understand where The Earl is coming from. If this country was invaded I would do my best to protect "my way of life" not the Gordon Browns or the Queens.

I can't believe I'm back in a thread I wanted to leave, but here I am....

All kinds of people join the army for all kinds of reasons....

A guy I was in the army cadets joined the Royal Engineers to get a trade, while he was in the army. Perfectly valid reason if you ask me....

Other people join up because they are bored of the jobs they where doing in civistreet, and decide they want to do something else.... Perfectly reasonable reason to join up I think....

Other people join up because they have nowhere else to go.... Again a perfectly valid reason to join up....

Me on the other hand.... It was a calling, or vocation or whatever its called.... I decided at about 12 or 13 I was gonna be a soldier, and then dedicated myself to attaining the very high target I set myself. If I hadn't broken my right shoulder, four ribs, my left collar bone, my jaw and fractured my skull I'd most likely still be in the army. Perhaps I might have even passed Selection which was my goal....

As for *some soldiers looking for a bit of action*.... What do you expect.... You join up, and if presented with the opportunity to test the skills you've trained for years, then you crack on and see if you can do the job you took The Queens Shilling to do....

To be completely blunt about it, and maybe ever shatter some people's rose coloured spectacles.... The first skills an soldier learns are those that enable you to kill other humans. Killing is the most basic function of a soldier. If you can't grasp that concept, then you really will never understand what I'm trying to say....

This is all true for the present modern day set up..wasn't true for my father's generation though.He was called up,not an enlisted man and WW11 was an entirely different war not just of the technology but because our servicemen were fighting to protect our freedom which was directly threatened.

However do you really think that fighting and reducing the Taliban and Al Qaeda is not defending this country from terrorist attacks?Is that not protecting our freedoms?:erm:

Maggy. I'm quite sure that if you ever get, or got your dad to really talk about what he did in the war, he'd tell you it was for his mates and the people he loved. People talk about Queen and Country, protecting our way of life, or values, or democracy blahblahblah.... But when some provo/Iraqi/Serb/ Afghan/ Argie is trying to slot you, you realize these things are too big and abstract. So you rationalize it to a more manageable level. You fight, and if you die, you do it for the lads around you, and the people you love at home.

I have a feeling that dying for King/Queen and Country died in the years between 1914 and 1918....

We wouldn't be there Maggie if we where not under the USA's thumb. What your (and my father) fought for was an ideal, a real belief in freedom. This is not the same fight There are plenty of vids on you tube depicting the way the world is going, Oil, minerals and, oh I forgot, religious beliefs. Lets keep this one in perspective.

I hope we never have to go to war and call up some of the liberal lay downs that we have seen post in this thread because if we do we are doomed from the outset.

If these bottom-dwelling asshats had chosen to have their sad little parade anywhere else in the country, most squaddies would have curled their lip in contempt/ Then gotten on with the job. Instead, these treasonous, beardy retards have the brass neck to do it in the market town that welcomes the fallen home. The fact that serving members, as well as ex-servicemen and women are getting angry had bugger all to do with wanting to fill in anyone who doesn't agree with us.... Its to do with the utter contempt being shown by a bunch of mouthy, spineless <incert the worst swear word in the english language here> who hate everything we stand for....

To be honest, the complete lack of understanding shown in this thread is, while not shocking. But some of the sentiments expressed sickens me....

Let's see if I've understood your point correctly.

Marches and celebrations in supports of our armed forces are permitted.

Marches and demonstrations against our forces, way of life etc should not be permitted.

Is that the general consensus?

Close the door on the way out?

From what I can see it looks like you're totally misunderstanding some of the attitudes in this thread. Your support for the forces is commendable but they are not untouchable. Democracy dictates people can protest against them even if they are fundamentalist nutters. As I said earlier if the BNP or AFL are permitted to demonstrate then so should these brain donors.

No Russ. Nowhere in this thread have I said that anti-war demonstrations should not be allowed. Quote from a previous post of mine....

Quote:

While I support their right to hold a peaceful march (this is allegedly still a democracy after all)
See.... While these excretable people have the right to march for whatever reason they wish to give. The location is highly provocative. It's the fact that these Britain haters have chosen Wooten Bassett, where they will call my comrades baby killers, rapists and war criminals makes me, and may others so bloody angry.

Trying to patronise me doesn't make you any more right. I don't need to have been anywhere near the forces to know what democracy means. If you want to deny people their democratic right then fine, I'm sure there are many dictatorships around the world who'd be willing to further your cause. Contrary to what seem to be a self-serving belief, members of the forces are not above criticism. Yes they are willing to fight for the country but they are still bound by its constitutial laws. The armed forces do not have legal or moral superiority in democracy.

I can understand that those with connections to the forces will feel livid about what the protesters want to do. But in this thread have been implications that because the protest is against our soldiers that it should somehow be prevented from happening using violence or other such means.

That in itself is hypocrisy. As disgusting as the group's aims and motivations are, they have their right to protest.

If the protest march is to be stopped, then it should be stopped by lawful means. Namely the police should apply to the council to have the parade banned. I don't have any interest seeing off duty squadies, and ex-squadies getting into a mammoth punch-up in WB. Especially as this march (if it goes ahead) will attract the bottom dwellers of the BNP, NF, Combat 18 etc.

As far as I'm concerned, filling in the marchers would only dishonour the memories of brave men who died on foreign fields.....

I'm not broadly categorizing anyone, I'm specifically categorizing the members of islam4uk as the above.... Personally I find it offensive that Mr Mouthpiece for islam4uk thinks that sociopathic suicide bombers to be hero's (especially when they target UK citizens). While he lives in the UK, and enjoys the same freedoms being bought in young mens blood in Afghan.... Or don't you understand that ?

Mr Mouthpiece for islam4uk and his "bottom-dwelling asshats, treasonous, beardy, retarded, mouthy, spineless ***** who hate everything we stand for...." mates is equally disturbed by your portrayal of people who they consider to be "baby killers, rapists and war criminals" as sacrificing their lives for freedom.

It is his right, whether we like it or not, in a supposedly democratic society to express those views.

There are many hundreds of thousands of people in the UK who do not believe, and have never believed, that the life of one british soldier should have ever been wasted in Afghanistan and, whilst I appreciate this might come as somewhat of an unstereotypical surprise to you, many of those hundreds of thousands are neither muslim nor could they be classified as "bottom-dwelling asshats, treasonous, beardy, retarded, mouthy, spineless ***** who hate everything we stand for...."

You, clearly, fail to understand that - along with the fact that this march was never intended to take place and was, as with 99.9% of their previously announced contentious events, designed to whip up and expose anti muslim feelings in the UK.

You have served their ends well.

As usual, you are mistaken in your misguided assertion - I think that protesting outside a mosque (as the EDL were doing) and protesting at Wootton Bassett are stupid, abhorrent, and provocative (but I think Islam4UK win on the Ass-hat competition); but the downside of democracy is having to listen to people you disagree with strongly (the upside is that they have to listen to you....;) ).

OK the story has changed on that link I provided.

The original story was
Quote:

Muslims from the Wootton Bassett area turned on Choudary today.

The Wiltshire Islamic Cultural Centre said: "We will hold Anjem Choudary and al-Muhajiroun responsible for any backlash against any Muslim in Wiltshire or elsewhere as a result of their proposed irresponsible and irrational actions and any insecurity brought upon the majority peaceful Muslim population.
"We strongly request Wiltshire Police to ban the proposed march in the interests of public order, public safety and community cohesion."

Seeing as there is a need to clarigfy our positions i will clarify mine i have no problem with anyone protesting anything they damn well want too but with the freedom to protest comes a little responsibility. Also these people are not so much protesting this war as the people fighting it and basing it on what they THINK is going on not what actually is.

Protest the war havn't got a problem with that protest the army being whereever also don't have a problem with that. But you do not go to the one place that shows complete respect for our fallen service people and then educate them on what is going on in those combat zones with a load of lies and biased rubbish that is a figment for the most part of their twisted imagination.

There have to be limits to what you can do and where you can do it. Hands up those who believe they would be marching through wootton if that wasn't the place our deceased service people come home through ???. This isn't a protest this isn't a demonstration it IS a slap in the face for this country and the services and some on here expect it to be allowed and cheek turned.

No enough is enough if these people really have the problem they claim to have then let them actually demonstrate that with meaningful actions like leaving the UK and going to whereever they want and doing something other then talking out of their back orrifice.

Being a democracy doens't mean you have to bend over backwards for the whim of every group of five hundred it means majority rules and this group is by no means a majority but is upsetting the majority so being truly democratic the march should be banned should it not ??.

Would i commit acts of violence against these people not without provacation and i am certain they will do as much of that as they can so in the end i would probably end up slapping someone. Because you have the right to disagree with what a country\government does but you do not have the right to smear the memory and honour of people that gave their life for this country and attack those who are no longer able because of their service to counter any vile disgusting accusations.

These people are **** and once upon a time we called them what they are traitors and dealt with them accordingly but were too civilised to do that now so we allow them to roam about spewing crap out of every orrifice and we say and do nothing to the point it has become a habit to do nothing and most are comfortable with that.

Geez, If ignorance was a bar to protests they would never happen. :D They do have a slight point in the contrast between the fallen soldiers and the civlian deaths though. We do treat the former with a lot more respect (which we should) but the latter does tend to get overlooked.

Re: Islamic group's plan to march through Wootton Bassett
 
Damien democracy is not an automatic right that comes with no responsibility and the majority can be treated anyway any small group decides or be abused and hurt for a very very small minority of deluded moeons (being very polite). You also didn't answer my point of if this wasn't the location that our service people are honoured would they even go near the place.

There have to be some lines that are not allowed to be crossed just so some ridiculous little bunch of traitorous malcontents can spew their hatred remember they are not interested in facts, they are going to publicise what they think is the truth or as is more likely what they feel will offend the most people in the fastest fashion.

Try and put yourself in the position of just one of the family's that lost a loved one while serving this country and imagine how you would feel hearing some benefit scrounging lunatic smearing the memory of your loved one still ok is it to let this type of rubbish go ahead for the sake of democracy because that isn't democracy. You also seemed to have missed the part where i said i have no problem with demonstration or protest done in the correct way in the appropriate place wootton bassett is neither of those and is only being targetted to offend people.

No one is forgetting the civilian casualties in all of this trust me all service personnel and ex remember them and consider them a lot more often then many would realise. End point is that our services go where they are ordered not where they want to go or where they feel they are justified going they are as powerless in these things as the civilians. That's why i have no problem with I4UK protesting\demonstrating in london or anywhere the government is but not in the place that our dead are bought home and honoured is it really that hard to understand.

I am very glad to see the muslim community coming out in opposition to this as well and hope that continues so that this episode by one pathetic little group doesn't harm the relations between far larger and reasonable groups in the UK

It does look as though labour are for once going to do the right thing though i doubt they would if there wasn't an election around the corner.

No. They wouldn't obviously but going to symbolic locations is what protesters do. The British Defense League went into areas with high numbers of mosques and Muslims, because they were protesting against Islam.It's almost an exact reverse of this protest in fact. There were very few voices calling for them to be stopped.

Democracy is an automatic right in this country. One which is defended by people in the army (or should be) and hence the respect they are afforded. It is not a right which is denied the moment someone says something we don't like. The fact people would be upset is horrible but it's not reason enough to ban it. We can ban many a freedom based on that criteria, unless they plan to use violence there is little we can do.

One day you might find yourself in a minority, saying something the majority doesn't like, and would you want the majority to simply shut you up?

The way I see this is pretty simple really, let these self-appointed pratts march, but not in Wooten Bassett.
What right do they have to spout their sick hatred their? let them have an hour or so in their own back yard, not the place where our fallen soldiers make their last goodbye.
Anyway on a separate note none of these haters want to live in a democracy anyway, so a straight NO from the authorities should be good enough.
BTW I'm proud to be a liberal, and see no conflict in that and opposing these morons.

A FATHER whose soldier son was killed in Afghanistan lashed out last night at the huge state handouts given to rabble-rousing Anjem Choudary.

The Muslim cleric's untaxed income of £25,740 is thousands more than 21-year-old gunner Jack Sadler was earning before he was blown up by a roadside bomb.

To answer your point directly Damien if i ever find myself being a minority and preparing to make false accusations and lie about people who i have never known smearing their memory i damn well hope everyone would shut me up before i do damage. I really do love the attitude a couple on here have of "we prove our democracy by allowing ourselves to be messed on by anyone that wants to" what a great way of thinking.

If the bnp or the edl or any of those other idiotic groups wanted to march through a muslim area just for the sake of it being a muslim area yes i would also oppose that and call for that to be banned as well. No one is saying remove the right to protest or demonstrate all that is being said is that there are appropriate places to do it and that's where they should conduct said protest\demonstration i don't see whats wrong with that and in no way is it silencing anyone.

People choose place's like this when they don't have a message when they don't have a point and all they do have is the place to use to offend, that isn't something we should ever encourage or allow in a civilised society because it is a form of bullying in itself.

Also i think we have to ask when allowing\banning any protest do the people in the area the protest\demonstration is being planned to take place deserve to have it in their area, have they contributed sufficiently to the root cause of a problem to be protested against and i think we all know the answer to that one on this occasion don't we.

Give him a tent and drop him and his off in the mountains of Afghanistan see how he likes that( and perhaps tip the army off about where he is ;))

it's like when a child hits other children, and he gets hit back and he doesn't like it. the child has stooped to his level by hitting him back. and it was a well learned lesson.

any, enough about me :D

If the 2nd child doesn't return the punch, the 1st child learns that they can punch away with impunity or if the 1st child is looking for a response, they will increase the violence until they achieve a response. The 'Neville Chamberlain' approach doesn't work.

Which is why when he does get hit back and he doesn't like it because it hurts. he won't carry on punching with impunity.

where do you stop once you decide where one can protest does that mean you have to be from london to attend a march there or have to be living next a buisness to protest about what damage they may cause ?

this whole protest against thier protest just gives them the publicity they want

much better to let them march ( not at the same time as any soldiers are being brought back ) and ignore them dont get tv there or press and everyone could just go inside when they turn up that would have a bigger efect on them not doing it more often than anything else

Re: Islamic group's plan to march through Wootton Bassett
 
Roger of course it doesn't what it would mean is you only protest at a place that is the main cause of a problem or a symbol of that problem. Wootton does not deserve this attention and by announcing this these slimeballs have people talking about wootton for the wrong reason not the biggest reason it is usually talked about. I guess if they announced a plan to go march in a cemetary of war dead making their speeches and spewing their hate that would be ok as well with some on here.

Half our problem in this country is we are being too accomadating to people who do not deserve it nor value that accomadation and that shouldn't be an auitomatic right it should be something that is earned by the people of any country. We are so scared nowadays of offending anyone that when the time comes and something should be opposed we just lie down and do nothing because we have got used to doing that.

1. blockage WB from these planned marchers.

2. let them march but everybody turns there back on them (this was done in the past to people who left in disgrace.)

3. let them march and throw shoes at them (A insult to muslims)

IMHO the most legal, and less volitile is number 2.

We would not be allowed to stage a similar protest in any muslim country because the locals would attack us and probably kill us.

This march must be banned simply because letting it go ahead will be a propaganda coup for all muslims who hate the west.

This march would not be ignored by the media as they know that the would be a massive story to be had here with the distinct prospect of some serious rioting.

Anyone that thinks that this march should be allowed to go ahead need to look in the mirror and say the following out loud.

"Am I really that stupid and gullible to believe that this protest if allowed will go ahead in a peaceful manner"

If you still think yes then you need to give yourself a good hard slap to try and make you come to your senses.

Re: Islamic group's plan to march through Wootton Bassett
 
now here's an interesting development [please dont shoot the messenger]



BNP Leaders Vow to Physically Block Islamist Wootton Bassett March

The three highest publicly elected British National Party officials, GLA member Richard Barnbrook and MEPs Nick Griffin and Andrew Brons, have vowed to physically block the road in Wootton Bassett should the authorities permit the threatened Islamist march in that town to proceed.

In an official statement, the BNP announced that it would “defend Wootton Bassett and the memory of our fallen heroes. Nick Griffin MEP, Andrew Brons MEP and Richard Barnbrook AM will block the path of the Muslim fanatics.”

The statement said that the party had warned the authorities after the Luton incident that unless militant Islamism was curbed in Britain, the problem would grow worse.

“Do you remember the outrageous scenes in Luton when our returning soldiers were abused and spat on by fanatical ‘British’ Muslims?,” the statement said.

“The British National Party stated then that this was only the beginning of such vile displays as militant Islam flexes its muscles on our streets.

“We warned the authorities that unless the Government took firm action against these evil haters of all things British, they would become more provocative.

“Well, now as predicted, it’s happened. It has just been announced that the organisation ISLAM4UK, (a platform for the fanatical Al Muhajiroun group) led by Mr Anjem Choudary and a mob of at least 500 Islamic extremists plan to defile the memory of our dead soldiers by marching their hatred through Wootton Basset.

“This is the town through which the flag-draped coffins of our fallen servicemen and women are brought home. It is where families go to pay their respects to our glorious dead as they make the solemn journey to their final resting place. The thought of 500 hateful Islamists desecrating this place and spitting in the face of every true British citizen and the grief-stricken relatives of the dead is truly beyond the pale.

“It must be stopped! We will not have this! They shall not pass!

“The British National Party is under increasing pressure to bring thousands of our angry members onto the streets to stop this outrage.

“However, we are mindful of the sensitive nature and dignity of Wootton Basset and do not wish to add to the problems now faced by the good people of that town, or the families of our fallen soldiers.

“With this in mind, the British National Party WILL take a stand in defence of our heroes by having our two MEPs and our London assembly member use their own bodies to physically block the street and any attempt by Muslim fanatics to insult the memory of our fallen soldiers.

“We appeal to the authorities to do the right thing and arrest these traitorous Muslim fanatics. We are at war. Our men and women are being killed on a daily basis and we are expected to put up with this gross outrage and insult to the families of the fallen. Make no mistake, we are earnest on this issue.

“If the authorities lack the courage and moral fibre to confront this disgusting Muslim march of hate, we believe that the presence of our three highest-profile elected politicians in a peaceful yet highly symbolic defiance of the Muslim mob, will force the Government to ban this vile march.

“If they do not, the PR consequences for them and public support for us will be immeasurable,” the BNP statement concluded.

We have enough hand wringing simpering fools as it is in this country, so wake up and smell the coffee.


it makes no difference what other countries do

if no one turns up to protest against it it would be hard for it to be violent especially as the police would likely still be there

its not about pandering to them its about freedom once you start curtailing it for a non lawful reason ( and there is nothing unlawful about their march that i can see how ever distasteful it is to us ) then you start down a slippery slope

ignoring them is a much better way of showing distaste and takes away what they want which is the publicity and the reactions that they want

the calls to ban it is what they want it gives them more fuel to indoctrinate the vulnerable in their community that they are fighting against the west everywhere


....


as to last post again if the bnp want to march as long as its not when the soldiers are being repatriated or when this other march is taking place then let them and ignore them too

I have more chance of becoming pope than for the to be no media coverage of this event.

The only media coverage we should have is of them banning this event as otherwise the will be a riot in that town.

BNP Leaders Vow to Physically Block Islamist Wootton Bassett March

The three highest publicly elected British National Party officials, GLA member Richard Barnbrook and MEPs Nick Griffin and Andrew Brons, have vowed to physically block the road in Wootton Bassett should the authorities permit the threatened Islamist march in that town to proceed.

In an official statement, the BNP announced that it would “defend Wootton Bassett and the memory of our fallen heroes. Nick Griffin MEP, Andrew Brons MEP and Richard Barnbrook AM will block the path of the Muslim fanatics.”

The statement said that the party had warned the authorities after the Luton incident that unless militant Islamism was curbed in Britain, the problem would grow worse.

“Do you remember the outrageous scenes in Luton when our returning soldiers were abused and spat on by fanatical ‘British’ Muslims?,” the statement said.

“The British National Party stated then that this was only the beginning of such vile displays as militant Islam flexes its muscles on our streets.

“We warned the authorities that unless the Government took firm action against these evil haters of all things British, they would become more provocative.

“Well, now as predicted, it’s happened. It has just been announced that the organisation ISLAM4UK, (a platform for the fanatical Al Muhajiroun group) led by Mr Anjem Choudary and a mob of at least 500 Islamic extremists plan to defile the memory of our dead soldiers by marching their hatred through Wootton Basset.

“This is the town through which the flag-draped coffins of our fallen servicemen and women are brought home. It is where families go to pay their respects to our glorious dead as they make the solemn journey to their final resting place. The thought of 500 hateful Islamists desecrating this place and spitting in the face of every true British citizen and the grief-stricken relatives of the dead is truly beyond the pale.

“It must be stopped! We will not have this! They shall not pass!

“The British National Party is under increasing pressure to bring thousands of our angry members onto the streets to stop this outrage.

“However, we are mindful of the sensitive nature and dignity of Wootton Basset and do not wish to add to the problems now faced by the good people of that town, or the families of our fallen soldiers.

“With this in mind, the British National Party WILL take a stand in defence of our heroes by having our two MEPs and our London assembly member use their own bodies to physically block the street and any attempt by Muslim fanatics to insult the memory of our fallen soldiers.

“We appeal to the authorities to do the right thing and arrest these traitorous Muslim fanatics. We are at war. Our men and women are being killed on a daily basis and we are expected to put up with this gross outrage and insult to the families of the fallen. Make no mistake, we are earnest on this issue.

“If the authorities lack the courage and moral fibre to confront this disgusting Muslim march of hate, we believe that the presence of our three highest-profile elected politicians in a peaceful yet highly symbolic defiance of the Muslim mob, will force the Government to ban this vile march.

“If they do not, the PR consequences for them and public support for us will be immeasurable,” the BNP statement concluded.


Funnily enough, I agree with them.

There has been more than one occasion where Muslims were the only protesters present and violence occurred.

There has been more than one occasion where planned marches by BNP or EDL have been banned or at least effectively banned and not because of potential violence from those groups but violence from the 'anti-fascists'/Muslims.

Examples, please (and please explain "at least effectively banned).

A planned march in Harrow was effectively banned by the authorities advising that it shouldn't go ahead. There was violence where Muslims attacked the Police.

There was violence at a London protest about the Danish cartoons which were about the prophet Mohammed.

that is a different matter where there is a known risk ( say bnp plan a march at the same time ) then the police can ban it at that time

but to put a blanket ban on is wrong

In those two instances there was no other group involved, just Muslims on their own. So should a BNP or EDL march be banned because other groups will be violent? Shouldn't those other groups be banned as they are the trouble.

no group should be banned just because another exists but where there would be a clash if both marched at the same time then one or both can be easily banned at that time under the current law

if they manage to cause violence on their own they then play into our hands in the PR side of all this anyhow

but changing the way the law works because of what they are plays right into their PR machines hands

if people cant just ignore them ( which i still say is the best option turning you back to the march etc ) then more ground would be gained by say asking if more people could join them on the march carrying coffins for those Muslims who have died trying to march for democracy in that country often hailed as the democratic Muslim country of Iran

that way they are forced into debating amoungst them selves rather than just aiming at those outside of their faith

divide and ..... much better than attacking a few misguided footsoldiers while the leaders look on and laugh at all that free publicity they are now getting

What a pile of crap.

With ideas like yours m8 we`ll all be wailing 5 times a day.

These people arnt your everyday Muslims, these people are Fanatics, Terrorist supporters who openly call for Muslim rule, members & creators of known Terrorist groups, people who promote the killing of BRITISH troops, have you any idea what your dealing with here?

The ordinary Muslim doesn't give a crap about these causes, he wants to live in peace & watch his kids grow up, these diseases just want to rule the god damned world & it doesn't matter who gets in the way.

Iran, what a joke, are you serious m8.

Even Chamberlain would be spinning in his grave.

i have a very good idea of what we are dealing with but until they break a law they have to be treated like every one else

and all i see is a press that seems to be doing its best to give these people a platform to advertise themselves

I don't know why people bring up Chamberlain, these are a handful of people not Nazi Germany. Nor are offering them anything, just not banning a protest. Bear in mind that the people commenting in this topic probably already exceed the amount of people that will be at this protest. There were like 5/6 people in Luton.

It really would be better not to ban/censor them, and ignore their march on Wootton Basset. They would soon look stupid if people aren't paying them attention and there are no press or cameras there. It would just be a few guys shouting in a street.

The problem is that won't happen. Elevating the small numbers of **** like Islam4UK (which we are helping to do with the coverage) is exactly what groups like Islam4Uk and the BNP are aiming for. They want conflict between Muslims and Non-Muslims. Not because they want to protect Wootton Bassett from political opportunism, after all the BNP have used it in the past despite objections from the town/army, but because it's part of a campaign they have to persuade more people to join their campaign against Muslims.

Being banned or attacked is exactly what Islam4UK need to try and persuade Muslims that Briton's are actively hostile towards them. Some moderate Muslims would be well justified to wonder why groups like the British Defence League can march outside Mosques and areas with high amounts of Muslims but Muslims get banned from staging a similarly provocative protest.

That's 7 who where charged, not how many where there in total.
There's more than 7 in the picture in this article.

As the procession of 200 soldiers approached the Town Hall, a band of about 20 men in Islamic dress began shouting at them.
Another march that was effectively banned.

Re: Islamic group's plan to march through Wootton Bassett
 
Really?

As the article states
Quote:

He has decided to abandon the event in case it attracts further trouble, but has organised another protest in London on April 12, to encourage the government to ban "all protests of hate towards troops".
So it has been "effectively banned" because the organiser decided to re-arrange it - interesting interpretation of reality there.

So if you can't go to the pub because you might bump into someone you don't want to meet, and you go out another night somewhere else, you have been "effectively banned" from going to the first pub?

a) What - this march, or this one? They both appear to have gone ahead, even if the second one was farcical, with idiotic anti-fascist protestors needlessly escalating the incidents into violent confrontations.

b) no there wasn't - there was incitement to violence by the idiots protesting, but could you please provide a link to the violence that took place, as I can't find it (but more than willing to accept it did, if you can provide a link). btw, 4 of the protesters were jailed for that.

I do love your phrase "effectively banned" - it is "effectively meaningless" (imho) (or does it mean they didn't get what they wanted, so they are going to go cry to their mummies?)

So, in summary - the marches in Harrow you said were banned, weren't; the violence you said took place at the anti-Danish cartoon protests in London, didn't.

You appear to have a proclivity to sub-optimal interpretation of available information (translated - you make stuff up to support your viewpoint ;)).

Re: Islamic group's plan to march through Wootton Bassett
 
Oh god we are going off at asngles now arn't we lol. I think what SMG is referring too in relation to nazi germany Damien is they too started off as a very small group of malcontents and grew very quickly. While i do not see anything of that scale happening in this instance it is a semi valid point about the dangers of ignoring people when they are small because if you do they usually do grow tothe point where they cannot be ignored or even stopped.

Now as far as i am concerned anyone of these things that go on this march should immediately have their benefit stopped because if they can go here and there marching they can damn well get a job so shouldn't need to be kept by the state. We have become too soft in this country i don't really see how that can be argued otherwise. This is a bunch of people that claim to hate us all and our way of life yet are so committed to their cause they continue to live here enjoying all the benefits literally.

These are not devoted committed people they are **** pure and simple attacking a country and way of life because they are allowed to do it and take us all for a ride in the process. It is a joke and not remotely funny and i cannot imagine any other country allowing it. As for democratic iran oh yeah highly democratic that lot rig an election and open fire on everyone that opposes them.

We often talk about social problems on this forum and the young and much of the trouble is a lack of identity and pride in their country and allowing things like this to go ahead makes that worse. Now is the time for us to get some pride back into our country and those who serve to protect us day in and day out not allow a bunch of mealy mouthed traitors to march whereever they want just so we don't appear nasty or undemocratic.

When you allow yourself to be walked over you cannot complain and too many people now are getting sick of it whether it is happening to the degree some would have us believe or not is no longer relevent groups like the bnp are fast making inroads into public support because of issue's like this and for that reason alone we have to do something.
