Eh ... would you mind clarifying that - did you have a go at being a Muslim?

Many of my work mates and some were muslims themselves were disgusted with him and shared my view, on the other end of the scale I grew up near some very peaceful muslims who were very respectful for our culture and always spoke english as first language etc.

Now you think that my comment about british nationality and citizenship been different is wrong but I disagree, I think if you have a long history of british born relatives who were living here through the war and back you will be more attached to this country and its values and as such essentially more british. I know of people who were born here but their parents nationaility down on job applications, they just dont see themselves as british.

I hope this thread is not representative of the true situation out on the streets.

What, pray tell, had the Twin Towers or 9/11 to do with British culture?

What I quoted was your "This makes me more British" statement. A clear indicator of xenophobia when one is talking about their fellow countrymen, and a poor excuse for the thin end of the racist wedge. British people who engage in this type of "them & us" and cite family trees and war history would do well to look at their monarch in a similarly critical / historical fashion. A queen born of German descent and a Greek. How British are they in your opinion / subject to your qualifying criteria?

You can't hide from the fact that Britain is fast becoming / has become a multicultural, progressive society. If you are so stuck in the past and resistant to change then perhaps it's you who needs to think about how you fit in.

Britian is being FORCED to be mulitcultural and its breaking down at just about every opportunity.
Muslims can publically call for the Death of a race yet non muslims are arrested for inciting racial hatred for doing the same thing????? Is that unbiased, I think not. Is it fair? I think not. Is it multucultural? I think not, it benefits those of other races over our own race, there should be NO difference in the way th elaw treats anyone. FULL STOP. I should not be given preferential treatment because of the colour of my skin, my religion, my sexual orientation or my gender. FULL STOP.

But **** happens, and it goes to show that a proportion of "muslims" living here want to kill us. Why should I tolerate that? why should I not walk the streets calling for the murder of muslims? Because although no more illegal, because I would be arrested and because more poeple would find it distastefull and would be branding me a racist quicker than those muslims doing the same thing.

She was using a british muslims reaction to the 9/11 incident as an example of how someone can be british and yet not be deserving of a place in our society......

Sorry Punky but you'll have to kill yourself to make up for it.

Five men have been arrested over their alleged role in protests against cartoons satirising the Prophet Muhammad, Scotland Yard said.

The five were alleged to have taken part in the 3 February demonstration which took place in London.

They took their time!

I saw more than 5 people waving banners...

Obviously the police have now realised they can't identify the ones wearing masks and scarves round their faces

Now if they had lifted them/confiscated the banners at the time we wouldn't be left with a bunch of them getting away with it and police time being wasted poring over hours of video trying to identify suspects.

**Maggy** · 15-03-2006, 16:07

The police may just be getting started...

But what would you prefer? I'd much rather the police took 5 or 6 weeks and arrest people who they know have broken the law, than to have people arrested within minutes and then be released without charge

Prevention is better than detection. If they had seized the banners at the time then they wouldn't have to worry about arresting them now.
Instead they seemed more worried about arresting the people there to defend free speech
