Pickles, glad to hear some sanity at last
If people will learn the facts maybe they might form more balanced opinions. The majority of muslims were probably upset, and rightly so, by the pictures in the newspaper, spread across the world, but a very small minority of them reacted so objectionably as the protestors. Muslims have even condemned the march:

...and if you look at the placards, do you notice the similarities? Most of them appear to have been done by the same person or people. This is because this march was organised by Hizb ut-Tahrir or HT as it is more commonly known, a well-orchestrated extremist organisation that the government wish to ban.

They are the polar opposite of the BNP but yet have so much in common.
Regarding Denmark, these pictures were first published in September of last year! There was internal debate within the country and that should have been the end of it, but people have used it as a political football. Either libertarians claiming the right to free speech to publish whatever they choose regardless of how they offend or muslim extremists. Some leaders in mosques over there, just as our own despicable Abu Hamza, are from the Arab world who live and act with a mindset alien to the country in which they live. Some have fueled this fire, instead of trying to resolve it peacefully, by taking it to the Arab press. But they are in the minority, yet their actions instigate many other impressionable fools.
It might be worth reminding some here that there is even a muslim politician in Denmark who is under 24-hour police guard as he has spoken out against these muslim extremists who have issued death threats against him. How do those on here with their views towards muslims see him?
I agree that this government should come down severely on anybody who breaks the law or incites hatred and violence of whatever creed or colour, but don't be so ignorant as to tar everyone with the same brush.
Hitler created that mindset against the Jews, let's not start the descent to doing it to muslims.
I'm perfectly happy to conduct a civil debate with anyone with intelligent reason, but see it as fruitless with certain people. Some of the jingoistic triumphalism is childish in the extremes and shows ignorance and shallowness.
So, please think twice before you post neanderthal, backslapping posts...think for yourself instead of reducing yourself to the lowest common denominator, which it appears all too evident recently.
