They may be a bunch of twits, but good for the BNP.

Funny... looks like Google is manipulating results again for political correctness...

Suddenly the Arab version of an Islamic Comic Book is appearing at the top of the list which used to be dominated by my personal favorite:
Islamic Comic Book

The Arabs have made this one:
Islamic Comic Book for Arabs

Sure..pour some more gas on.

We are just about to break into a full fledged nuclear war, why wait?!?

There can be no doubt that the powers in the UK are pro-appeasement.

Why they choose to persecute people who simply say Muslim immigration is not good for the UK is disgusting.

Here's what the Danish publisher of the originals said...

Flemming Rose of the Jyllands-Posten...

"Has Jyllands-Posten insulted and disrespected Islam? It certainly didn't intend to. But what does respect mean? When I visit a mosque, I show my respect by taking off my shoes. I follow the customs, just as I do in a church, synagogue or other holy place. But if a believer demands that I, as a nonbeliever, observe his taboos in the public domain, he is not asking for my respect, but for my submission."

This is a failure of mainstream politics to address the issue of Islam they have now gifted the high ground to the BNP thugs. On the other hand just because they are thugs it don't mean they are wrong on this issue. They will get a lot of popular support from this. The Conservatives should have made this their ground - distinct from Labour. Now the issue has been branded for the neo- fascists. Maybe good can come out of this yet.....

This was always on the cards.

Like I said in another post, the cartoons are neither racist nor offensive but truthful and Muslims can`t handle the truth. For example, the one cartoon with the bomb in the turban. They got all upset over that and acted exactly how the cartoon portrayed them. They threatened to explode, they threatened murder, and they committed murder, not to mention burning down the Danish embassy amongst other things. Like Jack Nicholson says "You can`t handle the truth!"

[vimto]

totally agree - people will not tolerate being told what they can and cannot say on these issues. It's taken the BNP to grab the nettle.

The right wing has failed us...

If you're looking for an Islamophobic echo chamber, you're posting to the wrong guy.

Er...you posted to me first. My guess is that no one is looking for you. Don't post to me, I'll stay away from you.

Free speech issues aside, at some point European countries are going to have to decide how long they're going to tolerate a group of people that knowingly and willfully incite violence.

You must be referring to the imams that republished the cartoons along with some fake ones to whip up Muslims riots four months after they were originally published.

Now isn't that interesting, where's the tolerence ?
Oh I forgot, it's strickly a one way street.

Time for the ABC extinguishers and garden hoses.
