Going back to the article. It's an event that happened but it's no wonder there's some racial tension in this country if that's the tripe we read. Looking at it it paints a picture that 90% of Muslims are extremists or terrorists. That's just crazy, and very unlikely. 1 solitary comment from a Muslim denouncing it may give them a sense that they've said 'look, they're not all like that. We're not spreading racist propaganda', but just read it.
There's nothing wrong with burning a flag.
Where shall we deport those people in the demonstrations that were born in the UK? Aren't they as British as you or I? Or does the colour of your skin, you're religious beliefs, and your political stance make you more British? They're definately of arabic ancestory though, so why not fly them over the Middle East and push them out of the plane with a parachute, and see where they land?
You're all as loopy as the extremists!
If they can they should be tried for inciting racist violence, and maybe The Sun should also be brought up on a charge for the way that article could increase racial tension. We seem to be heading a bit BNP if the media have their way.
The other thing is that these terrorists are not resident in any 1 country, and it cannot be used to justify wars on country's for that very reason.
Oh, and that article ShiftyPowers, not bad but I feel he misses the point. Surely terrorists are those that actively target innocent civilians to get their message accross, and not just 'freedom fighters' or 'guerillas' who happen to catch a few innocent civilians as 'collateral damage' in aiming towards an otherwise justifiable goal?
I don't feel that the American action could be classed as terrorism in that definition. It's more a poorly though out tactic, and careless method that will never-ever achieve their goal. (unless they mean to wipe out everyone (or surpress their opinion through fear) that has an opinion that is different from theirs and is unwilling to co-operate with their plans - but isn't that genocide based on political thinking?)
Neither could America be class as 'freedom fighters', after all they're incursions seem to be leading to less freedoms for not only the residents of the country they 'go' into, but also for their own people.
I can't see how American's are willing to accept less freedom in the face of a hyped fear. Isn't that 'losing' the war against the terrorist. After all, 'They're just jealous of our freedom and success', aren't they?
