Muslim protesters today called for the bombing of New York in a demonstration outside the US embassy in London.
There were threats of "another 9/11" from militants angry at reports of the desecration of the Koran by US troops in Iraq.
Some among the crowd burned an effigy of Tony Blair on a crucifix and then set fire to a Union flag and a Stars and Stripes.
Led by a man on a megaphone, they chanted, "USA watch your back, Osama is coming back" and "Kill, kill USA, kill, kill George Bush". A small detail of police watched as they shouted: "Bomb, bomb New York" and "George Bush, you will pay, with your blood, with your head."
Demonstrators in Grosvenor Square, some with their faces covered with scarves, waved placards which included the message: "Desecrate today and see another 9/11 tomorrow."
The protest was organised by groups including the Muslim Council for Britain and the Muslim Parliamentary Association of the UK. Their protest follows fury in the Islamic world over the claims in a Newsweek magazine that US soldiers at Guantanamo Bay had abused the Koran.
The magazine later withdrew the article and apologised but not before it triggered riots in Afghanistan in which 17 people died and 100 people were injured.
Former Guantanamo Bay detainee Martin Mubanga told the crowd he had seen a copy of the Koran "desecrated" during his time at Camp Delta.
He said: "This was one of the methods they used, throwing the Koran, my Koran, on the floor in my cell."
One of the protesters called for the release of radical Muslim cleric Abu Hamza. He shouted: "Your so-called democracy will fall under the sword of Allah. The day of judgment is coming."
The demonstration coincided with protests across the world. On the West Bank 2,500 Palestinians streamed out of mosques shouting "Death to America". In Calcutta, India, protesters burned, spat and urinated on the US flag. And in Somalia thousands chanted anti-US slogans.
ROTFLMAO
"These people are threatening my president and my country and I ask why we allow them to exist. You equate this with genocide? Talk about making a leap. What are you so sensitive about? Lighten up."
Your original post in this thread was:
"Why do we allow them to exist at all? The world's most dangerous cult is full of murderous lunatics."
which doesn't exactly make it clear that you are only refering to a small faction rather than to all muslims which your words seem to imply.
It is quite clear if you bother to read post #2 by Rummyfan. You guys are as bad as the msm in taking things out of context.
$70g in debt? Damn, and I thought I was in trouble. I just lost my job last year but for other reasons, now I`m driving a taxi in the meantime if you can believe it. Word of advice; No matter how much in debt you get, never ever ever ever ever get the brilliant idea that you should drive a taxi in NYC. I`ve been doing it for about a month, and the word nightmare doesn`t even begin to describe that job. Getting the license was a nightmare in itself, but actually doing it is a whole new realm of horror.
Because we are the most efficient killers in the history of human warfare.
If roused, we can and will kill Muslims by the hundreds of millions.
Do not rouse us.
I've read your comments and I do agree with some, but I also disagree with others, and i myself am trying to learn about Islam. Jihad means holy war AND internal struggle, and yes it is their duty. But, in Christianity isn't it also our duty to try and convert nonbelievers? Also in the early days of Islam when they were the dominant force they were about as tolerant to Christians and Jews as we are to them today. In fact they allowed Christains and Jews to practice their beliefs, but unlike us they took away some of our rights, while we allow Muslims in our country full democratic rights. Also the word for God in arabic I thought was alilah (not allah) but you may be right. Also Muslims believe that what the Qu'ran says is correctly stating what is incorrect in the Bible. So while we disagree on what is an "extremist" or "traditional" Muslim we both agree we should pray for these people and that we should learn about these people. With that I respect your comments. As for the person who called me a dhimmi- try harder next time to insult me, calling me something I'm faaaaar from (I called these people backwards- I'd be murdered in a Muslim state) doesn't even rattle me one bit- but I did want to humor your comment so you won't feel left out.
Ah, the colorful Middle East, land of en-chant-ment.
Conflagration ping.
Islam is a disease and MUST be eradicated from the planet Earth.
Islam must be wiped off the planet Earth.
Nut Muslims.
