Time to trot this one out again...

Up to 25,000 British Pakistani men, women and children from across the UK gathered in Aston Park to call on the British government to introduce legislation that bars people from insulting Islam under the garb of the freedom of speech.
The participants, who also travelled from several parts of European cities, were led in a mile-long march by Hazrat Peer Alauddin Siddiqui. This is the fourth consecutive gathering for the biggest Melaad-un-Nabi of British Pakistanis in Britain but this year it was dedicated to “protect the honor and legacy of Hazrat Muhammad”.
Hazrat Peer Alauddin Siddiqui, who is a renowned Sufi scholar, said : “Thousands have come together to show peacefully to the western world that the production and promotion of a recent film insulting ‘Prophet’ Muhammad has caused hurt to Muslims all over the world. We are a peaceful community and we will do everything to protect peace and respect for all on equal basis. It’s not fair that some people insult Islam every day and preach hatred through their actions and words but the lack of legislation encourages such elements. We want to tell our government that we welcome debate and constructive criticism of our religion but insults are unacceptable and inflammatory language is contributing to the rise of extremism amongst youth in western countries where youth mistakenly believe that the West hates Islam and Muslims.”
He announced that a rally of tens of thousands of Muslims will be held soon in Hyde Park to profess loyalty to Hazrat Muhammad as well as to condemn the crudely made “Innocence of Muslims” movie which was recently released in the US and caused outrage in the Islamic world, including leading to a ban on Youtube in Pakistan.
Peer Siddiqui told the audience that relations between Islamic and Western countries have improved in recent years and these years need to be strengthened but that is possible if all religions are respected and there should be law in place to ensure that Islam and Muslims are not singled out.
“There is resentment amongst Muslims over the continuing failure of the western government for not doing enough to protect Muslims. Attacks on Muslims have increased and while we are law-abiding and peace-loving citizens of this country, we want our government to take our concern into account,” he added and appealed to Muslims to stay peaceful against provocations.
Speakers said that freedom of speech was a cherished value but abusing Islam is not freedom of speech. They said the best way forward is to engage constructively with Muslims about their religion. They said Muslims were making a great contribution towards everyday life in western countries and it is important that their contribution is recognized.
“They said Muslims were making a great contribution towards everyday life in western countries and it is important that their contribution is recognized.”
Sounds a little like Obama’s speech when he talked about all the great contributions made by Muslims in America.
All BS.
ISLAM IS A CANCER ON THE WORLD.
Time to trot this one out again...
Richard was French.
Yes, I was being sarcastic.
The story is that he regarded himself as French, hated England, called it and the rest of Britain ‘a dismal land fit only for sheep’.
I have a better idea and deportation comes to mind.
No harm no foul. He was personally brave and did not whine.
Cue the “Behead those who insult islam” signs :)
Look for England to pass the law.
Look for England to pass the law.
And his father should have taken out Saddam during the Gulf War. Coulda, woulda, shoulda.
Wonder if you have ever noticed how George Soros has poured billions into manipulating this nation for his own profitable goals, and specifically into defeating George Bush even before he could take office; and how Bush's inauguration was marked with Soros-funded violent anarchist demonstrations the like of which had never happened in our history before; and how the Soros-manipulated press was down on Bush for every little thing, good, bad or indifferent? There was no chance. All Bush could do was influence the areas Soros and his useful-idiot Islamists were not particularly interested in jihading at that time. By the time muslim jihad spreads into all-out world war, Soros will be dead and gone; and therefore he doesn't give two s***s about the consequences.
On the other hand, I have always wondered what the Saudis really have over the Bush family and all the rest of the ruling class in this nation. Something stinks badly. But it certainly isn't limited to the Bushes. At least they appear to love this country, unlike the Hillary/Obama/Holder/Napolitano regime, which has enthusiastically enabled the Islamists and has inserted them into positions of power all over the Federal government.
LOL!!
Islam is a mental disease that is not unlike the mental illness of liberalism, and both create an irrational hatred of free speech and personal liberty. Notice how liberals defend Islam, even while those infected by Islam kill liberals in their indiscriminate goal to kill everyone.
Muslims need to STOP BLOWING EVERYTHING UP
And I bet the UK will do as the muzzies ask.
If I had but one wish, it would be that Muslims would stop blowing everyone up.
Critics should be silenced, like all the other dead critics of Islam.
