    One of the first things I noticed were the signs were made by the same person, except for the one sign in one of the pictures.

    Does that mean the persons who held those signs are not responsible for what they said? Of course not.

    On the other side of the coin, this looks like the media getting the most out of a situation.

    As bad as the situation was, don't let the media make you believe this is how all Muslims are.

    I am not defending "Muslims" here. They can do that for themselves, I'm just offering an opinion from a person that knows a bit about propaganda.

    You know exactly what Islam is? You should write a book.

    You are kidding, right? This is like asking thousands who demonstrate with different signs (End The War, , Support The Troops, or any other sign) to print or make the signs themselves to show that they really subscribe to these thoughts. I mean if they really subscribe to that way of thinking, why didn't they make their own signs instead of taking them from someone else? I am sorry, but this is probably the most ridiculous way of defending such an act.

    Those people should be arrested right away and either be sent to jail or deported. The West should know that there is a huge difference between tolerance and allowing criminals willing to behead you to grow up in your house. A huge difference.

    In any case, not all Muslims are bad people. Not at all. Most are not and are just people wanting to live like you and me. Islam itself is a different story. If every ''Muslim'' followed the real Islam, the world would have already been screwed. The good news is that most of them take the good part and leave the bad.

    This is blatantly untrue. You can not see six hateful signs. You can see six signs, But on a lot of them the text is unreadable. Or are we just assuming that anyone who holds up a sign must have something hateful written on it?

    If you are going to go off on an emotional rant at least have the decency to read what i have written. I haven't once said i am defending them. I said what they done was wrong and they should face the law like anyone else. But i am also saying that if only one person thought to make hateful signs it's probably not as wide spread as the cry baby frightened little girls in this thread are making it out to be.

    The west also has freedom of expression. So i think we would need to look at the content of each sign and decide if it is condoning or promoting violence before we start locking people up or deporting them, Besides, Most of them are British citizens, So where would we deport them to? Just because they are brown doesn't make them foreigners.

    But your claim that you can see six hateful signs in the image was untrue, right?

    Is stOx still trying to protect those he supports? If those were Christians holding up signs, he be singing a different tune.
