This might come as a shock - but the fact of the matter is that many of the fanatics that you refer to actually form the very fabric of what you refer to as "our society".
It's this siege mentality of "our society" which causes a lot of the problems we see today. Many, if not the vast majority, of those protesters in London were british born and bred and, as such, have the same rights as any other british citizen should they elect to exercise them, be that freedom of speech or whatever.
Throughout time britain has colonized and occupied many many countries across the world. The colonial mentality was fine - let's teach them english, lets educate them etc etc. Why in God's name anyone would be surprised when second and third generation citizens of colonized countries decided to come and settle in what they perceive, and indeed were led to believe, to be the civilized centre of the universe is beyond comprehension.
The term "you will reap what you sow" is perhaps the best analogy as far as immigrant numbers are concerned. There are far too many issues and questions to be raised and addressed as far as a multicultural, multiethnic society in britain is concerned.
Of course blowing things up isn't the answer, calling for beheadings isn't the answer, 9/11 wasn't the answer but neither is going to war against a country, and ultimately a religion, on the basis of flawed intelligence. Until the tabloid press and the more radical non / anti muslim members of "our society" realize that tarring all muslims with the same brush as a few fanatics is tantamount to inviting them to blow things up - then I'm afraid that's how it will remain.
Anyone for a group hug?
