The murder of soldier Lee Rigby has provoked a backlash of anger across the UK, including the attacking of mosques, racial abuse and comments made on social media.

Eleven people have been arrested around Britain for making 'racist or anti-religious' comments on Twitter following the brutal killing in Woolwich on Wednesday.

The incident has also prompted a huge increase in anti-Muslim incidents, according to the organisation Faith Matters, which works to reduce extremism.

Before the attack about four to eight cases a day were reported to its helpline. But the group said about 150 incidents had been reported in the last few days, including attacks on mosques.

Oh yes, but that didn’t do Rigby much good did it?

I am of the belief that these are nothing but
front organizations utilized by Islamics to
shield themselves from the result of THEIR
own extremeist actions.

The British government is protecting the disease that has infected the country and, unchecked, will kill it.

Quick, quick, make some arrests to scare people away from making logical conclusions and speaking the truth.

This is no different than being sent to the gulags for daring to speak honestly about another totalitarian regime. The West, in both their propaganda and their punishing of dissent, is striding quickly to Communist levels.

The Brits don’t have free speech. At some point they will have to be brought up to modern standards ~ but that’s not just yet. Eventually they’ll beg for it!

you have as much free speech as you can handle ~ don't let the stupidity and thuggishness of PC hold you back.

I never do.

BTW, did you know the current President is the stupidest individual in American history to hold public office?

“some of them are quite aggressive very focused, very aggressive attacks.”

They’re talking about Brits on Facebook, not the radical Muslim jihadist killers. Time for Brits to take matters in their own hands.
What an upside down world.

Seriously!

Maybe if it was definitely threatening, but just not liking someone? Oh that’s right, we have to like everyone or else.

Before the dust settles (which it never will), there will be lots of bloodshed. There is no bright ending to the muzzie’s plan to kill all invidals.

I truely expect to see something very similar to the “beheading” attempt happening here in the U.S.

Maybe the Brits should play that old tune they played at Yorktown, “the World Turned Upside Down”.

The Swedes will eventually figure it out ~ Islam is not compatable with Northern Climates. With Ramadan coming so near Mitsummer I think many muzzies are going to RECONSIDER the whole deal.

well if you see some guy in muslim garb pacing the streets or a mall with an ax or a butcher knife, for Godssake dont cross to rhe other side or you wil be guilty of profiling

“If you see something, say something”

like if you see a Tea Party gathering of gray heads with their lawn chairs, or Christians praying or passing out literature outside an abortion mill
