Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
I don't follow UK domestic news, but my sense of it is that there is a strong national consensus that condemns what is termed white racialism, whether it is skinhead violence or xenophobic appeals. I simply do not believe the same attitude exists with respect to islamist extremism.
What we see with muslims in many countries is that only a small percentage are acutal violent radicals, but a significant percentage are either sympathetic to them or support them financially and in other ways. There are areas in Britian, in London as you very well know, that it would be totally unsafe to carry out "protected speech" if that speech was seen as anti-muslim. Once that is allowed ot happen, vigilantism is the obvious next step, a step which apparently is well beyond its infancy in the UK.
No doubt politicians condemend th eblatant butchery of an innocent British soldier in braod daylight in London. What would one have expected, for them to defend the outrage? But what about concrete action to prevent the same thing happening again?
When your authorities allow muslim only enclaves to be established, areas where non-mulsims are not welcome or safe and where street justice is applied, they have begun turning your country into anarchy. You can say we have the same situtation in this countrywith black gangs, and I wouldn't disagree, except that they are only tolerated in areas with liberal democrat governing bodies. Outside their urban hellholes, they are seen as totally unacceptable and their presence would be met with uncompromising police force.
