thats it m8, you're a marked man! :D
On a serious note, these Arab extremist types have the edge on us. I have done a fairly extensive trawl of the web looking at their sites and (strangely enough) they are mostly in arabic. They understand english, we don't understand arabic.

You can't even hide, as he can point around a corner at you... ;)

Re: Abu hamza attacked
 

It actually was very scary, I kept looking over my shoulder etc on the way home, but being the man that trained Jack Bauer I was ready for anything! :D

Re: Abu hamza attacked
 

Why did you stare at him or something??? A friend of mine who lives in London went to see one of his speaches and she has even commented on out he picks out white man and tries to harass them, she was then followed back to her friends house and they waited outside for a good few minutes and then they left, she had to call the police as she was to scared to go home, infact she ended comming up here for a couple of days and spending time with us, that is how freaked she was infact she now lives in Dover! So there you go!

Re: Abu hamza attacked
 

Neil - what are you more frightened of, a loudmouth, well known to the authorities, ranting on the street watched by bored coppers or a nice, quiet professional like Mohammed Atta, having nice, quiet meetings in his Harburg flat while attending the local university? The biggest threat is the one you don't see, the one who takes care not to draw attention to himself.

What rubbish - it's a flag, not a human being. Get over it. Remind me to set fire to one and you can try and deport me for it. Even the USA specifically protects flag burning as a fairly obvious example of freedom of expression, which is one of the things the flag actually stands for.

Re: Abu hamza attacked
 

Very good point. However, Neil was probably frightened of the big minders...........a far more immediate threat :D

Re: Abu hamza attacked
 

However he tends not to have the rabid followers all around him who'll attack you on sight for appearing to be an infidel or not respecting their leader.

Re: Abu hamza attacked
 

It's not "rubbish", it's my opinion, & please don't say that my opinions are "rubbish".

Correct. :)

That's charming, is that what everyone who doesn't agree with you should do "Get over it" ?

I can't "try" because there's no law in place to support me in deporting you, & the point I made about deportation was a personal opinion (as I made clear in my post)

Oh...that's ok then, so you're suggesting that just because the USA feels it's ok (which I'm not so sure it does BTW), then I should just think that too?

Re: Abu hamza attacked
 

Because a piece of cloth is clearly so much more important than the right to free expression. :rolleyes: Remind me come November 5th to construct a bonfire entirely out of Union Jacks.

I think it is a bit rich to complain about people espousing extreme ideas when you argue that deportation is a suitable punishment for burning a bit of cloth.

Re: Abu hamza attacked
 

It's not about "importance", it's about respect for the country in which you are residing, & respect for the country that is supporting your way of life here.

I don;t feel that anyone that comes to this country should be allowed to behave like that.

Ok.

Fair enough, our views differ. :)

Re: Abu hamza attacked
 

Sorry lads its not a bit of 'cloth' it represents are country Great Britain.
Have some respect!!!!!

Re: Abu hamza attacked
 

Currently the flag has no protection in the USA but there are people hard at work to change that: http://www.cfa-inc.org/

Sure - it's only a flag - only a sheet of material. But it is a clear symbol of a nation's sovereignty. So never mind deporting someone for burning a flag - by that act they have made it clear what they think of that country, so they should depart voluntarily. I'd propose allowing them to do so free-of-charge to make it simpler and quicker!

But we'd have to keep secret from the destination country why these people were travelling there - after all, would we want people like that coming here?

Re: Abu hamza attacked
 

Well said, have a greenie. :clap:

Re: Abu hamza attacked
 

And from me too.

Re: Abu hamza attacked
 

Or should we take it in a more literally offensive way that its them showing what they really want to do to the entire coutries ocupants ?

IMO it demonstartes racism at a height way above anyhting they have endured from us in recent years.
