Inciting racial and religious hatred

I saw a couple of minutes of Sky News this morning showing muslims protesting in London about the Mohammed pictures.

The banners they were carrying had varying messages on the same theme. A couple that spring to mind said "Massacre those who insult Islam" and "Europe, your 9/11 will come".

As I said the other day, I can understand why they're pissed off but this behaviour is unacceptable. Since Islamic terrorism has hit the headlines following the September 11th attack on the World Trade Centre, muslim groups have been trying to convince the world that Islam is a peaceful religion.

The behaviour of these protesters means one of two things: either the muslims calling for the masacre of Europeans aren't following Islam or Islam really is a violent religion.

Whatever the reason, the fact that the police are not only letting these protesters get away with breaking the law but actually escorting them while they do it is absolutely appalling. Would a group of white christians be allowed to walk the streets carrying placards calling for the massacre of muslims? Would they bollocks.

Every single muslim that carries a placard or shouts a message inciting racial or religious hatred should be arrested, convicted and locked up in a high security prison until they are no longer a threat to society. If they are immigrants then they should be deported to their country of origin and be stripped of their citizenship. If something like this can make them call for the massacre of English people then they don't belong here.
