Armistice Day: protesters burn poppy

[Still Waters]

Extreme Muslim groups marred Armistice Day in London by burning a model poppy in protest against the wars of Iraq and Afghanistan.

As millions of Britons fell silent to remember those who have died in war a small group of protesters calling themselves Muslims Against Crusades held a demonstration in Kensington, West London.

Around 30 people gathered close to the junction of Exhibition Road and Kensington Road, adjacent to Hyde Park.

About 50 counter demonstrators gathered nearby but the two sides were kept apart by police.

Asad Ullah, of Muslims Against Crusades, said sparking violence "is not our intention" but added: "If it does, we are people who will defend our honour."

He said: "We are demonstrating because this day is a day of remembrance to remember every single fallen soldier, including those killed in Afghanistan and Iraq.

yes, and do they think the soldiers chose to go to Iraq and Afghanisatn in order to fighht a crusade against Islam? Or did they go there because they were sent there by the Govt. and didn't have much choice?

Asad Ullah: Pillock.

[+susieice]

Big words from people who support terrorism. As long as it's somebody else and not them right?

And when they finished burning the poppy they all sodded off down the job centre with a big mac each, all western trates they so hate.We can all see who these scum are, just deport them to the places they find so dear to there hearts, ****ing scum :angry2:

[shadowhive]

It;s acts like these that cast their whole religion in a bad light and make people vote BNP. Can't they see how foolish and harmful to their cause they're being?

[Commander CMG]

Someone pass me a copy of the Quran and a few images and effiges of that Paedophile Muhammad... Oh yes and a box of matches please.

[rashore]

wow, I didn't know the WBC has a Muslim chapter in London

Sorry, had to say it. Those protesters have got to be as nuts as the WBC. Why do people have to get so hateful? It's just sick. I can understand if they aren't happy, but the whole burning stuff and signs wishing people to hell or other bad fates is just beyond the pale...

yes yes a few people protest "againts the wars in Iraq and afganistan" and all of a sudden its their relegons fault right?

i mean they cant be protesting about the hundred of innocents that lots their lives due to the wars, sure their could be better ways to protest but you post just makes u look abit thick in the head.

again these people are protesting againts the wars in iraq and afganistan not the western way of life, sure buring the popy is a disgraecfull thing to do and the word "scum" couldnt be a better way to describe them.

and telling the soldiers to go to hell is no way of protesting againts anything, considering soldier are just normal people willing to serve their country and make a living for themselves and their familys,real honorable people.

Considering what's happened to the people over there at the hands of the soldiers, I don't blame them. It's a bloody flower, and a symbol, okay, that's fine: so they're protesting a symbol. Since this whole "war" has happened, they have been screwed around as a collective group so badly. Even Muslims not affiliated with this distasteful form of protesting are going to look bad. How about the soldiers get the hell out of Iraq?

And all this "the soldiers didn't know where they were going"... they were soldiers. They don't have to think about where they're going, they just go. Or maybe they SHOULD have thought about what they might have to do before enlisting.

Its nota symbol its the dead your respecting the dead for the 2 minute silence or by wearing a rose. this is about all the wars not just iraq

[Eldorado]

Funky, did you actually read the news items linked? It's not about a flower.

They wanted to interrupt and disrupt a memorial service, but couldn't get near the cenotaph.

Like one member has already stated, a bit like the Westboro Baptist Crazies disrupting a funeral. Except, if they'd succeeded in getting near the cenotaph they'd be protesting from hospital.

Their protest was so popular among the 2 million British Muslims that there was "about 30" protesters.

Oh yes and this is just an isolated incident isn't it and we are suddenly against a religion, that justifies honor killings, throws acid into the faces of young girls, stones women to death in the streets, Jeez they kick off at anything they disagree with, policies they don't like. The actions of a peaceful race. *I don't think so*

Logically, I can understand why Remembrance day would be chosen as a day for people who are protesting military, war, whatever to go do their stuff. Emotionally, I feel like smacking the snot out of each and every one of them for being hateful dillholes about it.

To me, it's not the protest itself... It's the manner in which it was done. They could have had all their signs state their protest of the situation they are protesting, not generally damning centuries of people. They didn't need to burn anything. Seriously, usually starting fires on a public street/sidewalk is considered a general no-no.

They could have stated their opinion without being so hateful and disrespectful about it. It's all that hate and disrespect and retaliatory hate and disrespect crap that helps radicals become radicals. Yuck.

Yes & once again it begs the question 'well, why do the come here?'

They'd shoot there own grandmother to get to this country & as far away from the sh*thole of a country of there birth & yet when they're here they do everything they can to stir up trouble, hey, but then again free healthcare & the benefits system works in their favor, right.

I'd put all these paedophile worshiping scum (& their nearest & dearest)on a rusty oil tanker point it at the north pole & weld the controls on full steam ahead.

We don't need or want these 'people' they contribute nothing of any worth to our society & It's about time this government formed a covert group charged with the sole purpose of disposing of scum like this in a quiet manner, just make them disappear with no fuss.

to be fair, i wonder how many people enlisted after 9-11 to go get revenge on "them evil doers"? 'round here, i have heard the "kill em all" and "turn the middle-east into a parking lot" talk quite a bit, even to this day. just saying......

[ploppy]

This is extreme and pretty mad, but at the same time people who have simply said "I don't support troops or wear poPpys to commemorate the previous wars of the world" ect get an unwarranted backlash. No everyone has to or does have respect or admiration for soldiers or wars and that isn't the worst thing in the world.

Big words from people who support terrorism. As long as it's somebody else and not them right?

Yeah cos ALLLL Muslims are big fans of terrorism.

Well you know what they say..'not all muslims are terrorists, but it's funny how all terrorists are muslim'

[tyrant lizard]

These idiots make me laugh. They live in a democratic country that allows them to protest, moaning about the very soldiers who fought for that democracy. If it was up to me I'd hang the lot of them for treason. Or failing that, if they love Afganistan so much why dont they go and live there and see how much of an improvement that is on their lives.
