Muslims clash with police after burning poppy in anti-Armistice Day protest
67 replies, posted
[quote]About 35 Islamic protesters, dressed in dark clothes and with many masking their faces, carried banners and chanted slogans such as "British soldiers: terrorists".
The group confronted police officers and briefly fought with them, leaving one officer with a head injury requiring hospital treatment, and three arrests were made.
Around 50 counter demonstrators from the far-right English Defence League gathered nearby but officers kept the two sides apart.
The protesters said they were from a group called Muslims Against Crusades.
They gathered near Hyde Park in London before burning a model of a poppy on the stroke of 11am then marching along Exhibition Road and along an underpass, past the Victoria and Albert and Natural History Museums.
Asad Ullah, 23, a spokesman for the group who would only say he was from London, said: "The British soldiers you remember on this day are soldiers who have taken innocent lives in illegal occupations and unjust wars.
"Our aim is not violence but if people come to us with violence, Muslims will defend themselves."
He added: "We will do this again. Until the British people condemn the British Government for these illegal wars, we will not stop protesting."
Posters bore slogans including "Hands off Muslim lands" and "Islam will dominate", and flags bore Arabic writing with the words "There is no God but Allah".
The group went to South Kensington Tube station, roughly circled by about 20 police officers as they were from the start of the march, and rode it to Whitechapel, in east London, where the organisers collected the flags and high-visibility vests some were wearing and the group dispersed.
One of the passengers on the Tube was Sylvia Black, 61, a retired sub-postmistress from Yeovil, Somerset.
She was wearing a poppy in memory of her uncle, a corporal who was killed in the First World War.
Mrs Black said: "I disagree with what they're doing. They shouldn't be doing it and they shouldn't be allowed to do it."
Of the three arrests made, two were for public order offences and one was for assaulting a police officer.
The Muslims Against Crusades website includes graphic images of children wounded in warfare and the torture of detainees at Abu Ghraib.
Earlier this year members were involved in violent clashes with far-right groups during a troop march in Barking, east London.
There are suspicions Muslims Against Crusades is a splinter group of Islam4UK, founded by Anjem Choudary, a British Muslim extremist formerly a senior figure in the now banned Al-Muhajiroun and Islam4UK groups.

Religion has nothing to do with it, you remove religion from the equation people will still squabble and fight over useless crap, hell regardless they're not even following their own religion which is pretty strict on non-violence.
At the end of the day saying shit like that i.e generalizing a whole group of people based on a handful is such an idiotic thing to do, so please open your mind and don't be a total douchebag.
I hate religious fanatics, nobody would care if they all suddenly disappeared one day.
Didn't this thread already get a ban&lock

You're saying that terrorists/religious are hateful because of their own hateful interpretation of religion.
I completely agree with you.
One word. Deport.
Okay, now they're just fucking with us, with the full intention of pissing us off.
It's really ridiculous.
Yeah, because stuff like signs saying"Islam will dominate" and "There is no God but Allah" is TOTALLY going to help everyone's impressions of your group and will definitely advance your vision of peace.
Idiots.
Gotta admit this made my blood boil, and also it wanted to make me join the army so i could go lay waste to some of the extremist fuckers! i hope the police did'nt do it by the book and got rough with them its what they deserve.

You want to join the army so that you can murder people in your own country?
You don't belong in the army.

You don't need to be in the army to make them martyrs for their misguided cause.
We got banned from burning the Qu'ran's and stuff for being Racist...and then they're doing that!. It's fucking ridiculous and they should be deported like someone said in a post before.

This never happened.
People are gonna be dicks regardless of their religion you know
The poppy burning was already over the line, getting violent with the police is just fucking ridiculous.
by burning poppies they're complaining about the wrong war

i also think that a small group of muslims represents the entire community
also I am a semi-functioning man-ape
People in the eastern hemisphere probably take every retarded action of a "white" or western hemisphere guy just as serious and representative as a few people who posted above me did and had roughly the same reactions.
It's funny how people don't see that the side on which you are standing, pro or contra doesn't matter at all because taking actions as this as information about millions and millions of others is pretty damn idiotic.

They didn't react very well to "Draw Muhammad Day" either. Pakistan banned Facebook for a few days during the whole thing.

I meant for the extremist group that was protesting. Not the entire muslim community. Where did you get that idea?

because one government represents all Muslims
trolls
Im fairly sure we already hate the government for the wars, expenses and fucking the economy
Their cause is pretty justified, wayyyy more innocent people have died in Afghanistan than on 9/11, which is the whole reason troops are there in the first place.

Wasn't it because of oil or something?

So you're going to disrespect the soldiers because of the government's actions?
