MUSLIM FANATICS BURN POPPY
ISLAMIC protesters sparked fury when they burned a giant poppy, chanting “British soldiers burn in hell” during yesterday’s two-minute silence to honour war dead.
The hate-filled extremists screamed “British troops are murderers” and “There will be no security for Britain while troops remain in Muslim land”.
Calling themselves “Muslims against Crusaders”, they clashed with police while 50 members of the English Defence League staged a counter-protest near the Royal Albert Hall in central London.
Police kept the two sides apart, but as the two- minute silence started one Muslim yelled out, “British soldiers go to hell”. One of the group held up the poppy, set it alight and threw the burning symbol of remembrance to the ground, while others, some masked, chanted “British soldiers burn in hell” in front of horrified onlookers.
Three men were arrested at the scene – two for public order offences and one for assaulting a police officer. One officer was taken to hospital with a head injury.
Onlookers were appalled by the ultimate insult to the war dead and soldiers still risking their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. One said: “It was a disgrace to be burning poppies on Remembrance Day. It should be a crime to chant things like that. Those people are despicable.” Another said: “It was outrageous.”
And parents of British soldiers killed in Afghanistan later branded the grotesque protest as “atrocious”.
Christine Bonner, whose son Darren was killed by a landmine in Helmand province in 2007, said she could not believe the incident.
“I’m disgusted. There are people like myself that at 11am today were remembering the lives of our children, and then there are some people doing something so hurtful as that. I think it’s atrocious.
“We’re talking about individuals who have died for their country.”
Tony Philippson’s son James was the first British soldier to be killed in action in the Nato operation in Helmand province. He said: “I don’t see the logic of it. Why could they think that soldiers of any nationality shouldn’t be remembered?
“My son went to Iraq with the Marines fighting for Muslims to get rid of a tyrant so they could have some freedom.”

Re: MUSLIM FANATICS BURN POPPY
A day of remembrance for our fallen, to remember so we don't forget.
This really is so disgraceful. Their disrespect can do nothing but heighten the animosity felt towards the Muslim faith even though they do not represent what practicing Muslims believe. This is very, very saddening behaviour. I am sure my Grandad would turn in his grave.
I somehow think there will never be world peace as long as religion exists.

Are you possibly a British Nationalist, coffindodger? Not your first thread recently criticising anything remotely anti-British.

Hateful. Abhorrent.
I'm usually a mild-mannered, tolerant individual, but honestly... that kind of person has no place in our society.

Re: MUSLIM FANATICS BURN POPPY
I visited the Thiepval memorial several years ago and identified seven of my family (from each side) who had fallen on the Somme. It was extremely moving, and I admit that I wept.

Re: MUSLIM FANATICS BURN POPPY
I can't help but wonder whether coffindodger and Co Durham have a slight issue with muslims in general as opposed to extremists? I mean Coffin dodger started another thread about the Pakistani cricketer requesting asylum which seems to have a sight undercurrent of prejudice in it. That's how it seemed to me anyway...by all means correct me if I'm wrong!
