Afraid maybe you probably did misunderstand, mlb...I got Wood on that one
She meant should fight for freedom of speech in whole world, I think! Hope you don't mind Woody
Ah, already answered...too quick for me...I type as fast as Slogger thinks (its a joke, knucklescrapper!
)
Moz, spot on! I hope they throw the book at Hamza - its those leaders who stir everything then retreat from the front line when it all kicks off!
Pickles, great posts...you sure you're not a judge

I stated that the TROUBLEMAKERS should be the ones dealt with and the mosques which allow these troublemakers in their ranks should be closed, as was Finsbury Park Mosque.
I'm in full agreement with you there.
The Muslim community needs to Police itself if it is not to be tarred with the same brush though, the Police and the wider community cannot do it in Isolation.
To an extent I agree that the muslim community should do as much as it can, but its not that easy for them to do so, just as Brits holidaying or living in Spain cannot be asked to take responsibilty for British yobs. What if you were on holiday or lived there and the Spanish police said to you, they're your lot, you go and make them see sense? This is guilt by association and not feasible, however desirable.
The 700 odd protesters in London should be dealt with though, if they carried placades which advocated or incited violence of any type, then they should have been arrested and the full weight of the law used to prosecute them.
Totally agree again, but as Pickles has succinctly put it there are ways and means. We just all hope this will be done, but one of the worst things that could be done is for them to go to ground and potentially more 7/7 attacks planned...let them show their identities. Blame the extremists by all means, but if you want to blame anyone else, the media play a vital role in giving these groups the oxygen of publicity in a sensational way with the main purpose of selling their rags regardless of consequences.
