I agree it's very much blamed on white/western people for being racist when actually it is the other races that can be as bad/worse.
I think though that with them being the minority in the UK they play on that, they know racism towards them won't be tolerated, so a few Muslims go and do this. I wonder why people have this view on them...
It's kinda like saying 'don't assume we'll all murder you, but our ethnic group will threaten you will bombings and wonder why you're racist towards us'
I feel for the majority of muslims that will now be tarred with that brush.
I think i'm possibly a bit racist, because at train stations or wherever since the 7/7 bombing it's crossed my mind when i've seen a Muslim with a large bag. I know that's very shallow minded to think, but like i say it only crossed my mind.
Still, i bet i'm not the only one.
Though i do think those people with the banners should simply have been sent out of our country. Imagine going anywhere in the world and threatening them with bombings over some cartoons? Wouldn't happen.
But i'm pretty sure i haven't said anything that hasn't already been said,
