How is this different?
The DC Tea Party Protest - YouTube

Apparently protests are allowed in the UK just as they are here. OWS people are disgusted by the Tea Party and vice-versa.

I Just watched the video, I did not see anyone suggesting not to obey the laws, or signs
telling the police to burn in hell.
I did not see anything to make me think the two protest alike.
 
I think the most enlightening truth about this whole thing is that groupthink allows people to bitch about the dumbest things. It happens on all sides.

From the Islamic Fundamentalists who say "Death to the West and they are taking all are women" and all that bullcrap

to the rabid Tea Party members, who are all like OMG I'M ANGRY

to the idiots who are just pissed off at ALL Muslims and think they're a cancer.

None of them are engaging in any degree of free or critical thinking whatsoever.
 
I didn't mean that to be an anti-TP statement. I'm just saying that as long as you are free to protest, no matter how ugly, you are still free. You won't see this in North Korea for example.

:joke:

 
takes a lot of chutzpah to walk through the streets of Britain, chanting "UK go to hell", when UK taxpayers pay for your healthcare and had the kindness to let you move to their country and seek a better life.

Well, you would say that, wouldn't you? Great video, demonstrating once again how well adjusted and assimilated 'British' Muslims are. One can only guess what the native variety are like.

The Brits had better get control of this situation or they won't have a country in 50 years.

take it you didnt watch the whole video I posted then?
 
No, the original video was just about all I could stomach. Good luck in the future when you return to England. By the looks of things, you're going to need it but perhaps not nearly as much as the generation or two that come after you.

LOL oh wiggen you are a silly little sausage! What am I going to have to look out for exactly? In 2010 it was esitmated that their were 2.869 million and of that its a smaller number who we woudl consider radical Muslims ( hardly going to take us by storm are they). If you had watched the whole video you would of met normal British muslims who denounce violence and enjoy living in the UK, 2009 survey in the UK found that found 77% said they identified "very strongly" with the UK, compared to 50% of the general public.
London riots last year it wasn't British muslims who started looting shops and fighting police no that went down in mostly black and white areas and on a saturday night at 3am in most city/town centers its not young muslims you see pissed off their faces, destroying property and costing the tax payer millions.
I denounce radical "muslims" the same way I denounce any extremists from any relgion but I also understand that they are a minority and do not represent the majority of the people and yes radical muslims are a threat to national security but no more a threat than the IRA were for a good 30 years. Put it this way im not worried about traditional British values and when I do move back my son will be able to learn about christanity at school, take part in the school nativity and wish everyone a merry xmas, cant do that in the good old USA.
 
Well, their total numbers will only grow in the next 50 years or so. Sharia Law is already being talked about seriously as an option for 'British' Muslims. And then there are the fellow travelers - you know, those British leftists who never met a terrorist they didn't like. People like Galloway and those that elected him, for instance. You've got serious trouble on the horizon.

Only a fool would voluntarily take his son back to the UK, leaving aside all the fairly tale nonsense about nativity scenes and praying to God in class. You're heading back to a class system that's built not on merit but on who your father was and what your accent is. Lots of luck with that.
