Muslims turn up the heat
We have all heard about the riots that have been caused my muslims protesting against European newspapers, who have published cartoons which are deemed "offensive" to the muslim prophet Mohammed. Only a few days ago (on the 5th February), thousands of muslims staged an attack on the Danish Consulate in Beirut, setting the building ablaze and destroying Christian churches throughout the night (which reports confirm that serious injuries had occured, and even numerous deaths).
Not only have the cartoons been published in Europe, but have also spread across the world, attracting the attention of Australia and New-Zealand. But why have these attacks and violent protests been carried out?
According to muslims, it is forbidden to visually display their prophet, and publish cartoons of him, which appear to ridicule the Islamic faith. However, im not here to discuss how they demoralise the muslim religion, but explain that there is something seriously wrong in the law, being that there appears to be "one law for them" and another for everyone else!
Lets take my first example, being the protests which occured in London a few days ago over these cartoons. Muslims were deliberately shouting abuse at the British government in the form of death threats, terrorist attacks, and claiming that anyone who publishes these cartoons should be slain and be-headed. But was there anything done by the British police? Absolutley not...and the reason is because this country is in a state of fear. Brtiain is too scared to do anything about this, because by arresting those of ethnic minorities, we fear that we may be branded "racist" by Labour/Liberal doo-gooders, so in result...those who offend and threaten our country by violent protests go free. Further more, a few months ago at the Labour Party Conference, Walter Wolfgang was ejected from his seat for merely shouting the word "nonsense"! How is it fair to arrest an innocent person such as Mr.Wolfgang under anti-terrorist laws, and yet allow muslim protesters (who threaten the safety and security of our own nation) to walk free?
Either way, it is clear that there is something seriously wrong with our legal system to allow such a thing to happen. And if you ask for my personal opinion, i think those European newspapers were right to publish those cartoons. As we have seen, it maybe offensive to some of the muslim population, but it is our freedom of speech which is the most important here. Every British citizen is entitled (by natural right) to express his/her own personal opinion, so according to our civil liberties and rights, what exactly have these newspapers done wrong? Either way, they have done nothing to deserve the violence that those hateful terrorists have thrown at them...especially the arson attacks made on the Norwegian and Danish embassies earlier on this week in Damascus.
You've now heard my opinion on the matter, and a few other internet users seem to agree with me.

I couldn't agree more, James.
What angers me is that only recently the St George's flag was frowned upon for 'being racist', the incitment of religious hatred bill is feared to prevent Christians standing up for their faith and yet in spite of all that these Muslims get away with waving anti-semetic placards inciting murder.
If I wanted to practise Christianity in any one of the Eastern Islamic countries my life could - quite literally - be on the line. These people can't have one set of rules for them and one for everyone else and if they want to live in civilised Western society they can damn well adhere to the rules and customs.
James, might interest you to know that at Nottingham Uni after these outrages we are now having nothing less than an Islam Awareness Week. Personally what we need is freedom of speech and values of the liberal democracy week for the benefit of Islam.
Adam, thats all very well, but perhaps you should include in your Islam awareness week that muslims themselves are apart of our society, and therefore, they are required to obey our laws just like us. However, if they dont, then they are to be prosecuted for breach of that law...just like us. Some where along that line, the gap between equality and political correctness became wider...no thanks to the Labour government and our police force.
James, thats all very well and good, howver British muslims must accept the liberal secular outlook of the West as against the religious conservative outlook of the Muslim world, particularly when they are a part of our society. Also the Muslim Society at Nottingham is pretty extreme, the debating society was complained about to the Union executive for hosting a debate about forcing Islam to modernise. What's more their rampant hypocrisy in boycotting Holocaust Memorial Day and expecting us to respect that decision, and then crying all hell when we exercise our right to freedom of speech and action as regards their faith, just goes to show how far Islam as got to learn.
I completely agree Adam. Muslims need to except our traditional British values in the same way that we're expected to respect theirs. Its no good having this "one law for some, another for others" ideology, because that way, one side will always be favoured. How can race relations possibly excel with so much favourtism in our country?
Im quite shocked to hear that the muslim groups in your University complained about the debating topic also. Doesn't this show that they are simply taking offense far too easily?
How do you feel about Abu Hamza being found guilty in his trial?
In all truth, im over the moon that he's been found guilty, because in my opinion, he's got links with Al-Quaeda which are as clear as day. However, im not too sure about the outcome because of the result of Nick Griffin's trial. Its a long reason to explain on a comment, but if you view the "most recent" post section on my main page, it explains this in a bit more detail.
Not meaning to be offensive or anything, but why is it that Islam seems to be the sole religion thats causing significant problems these days?
