Full of kids who's parents read The Gaurdian.
The OP is just alarmist crap from the Gaurdian, a paper read by white middle class Britons that would run a mile if they saw a Muslim.

I posted a Thread couple weeks ago entitled 'The Clash Of All Clashes'. I'm pretty sure some you remember this Thread. Well, as this Poll suggests, it looks like this Clash is very close indeed, after the Woolwich Attack on Wednesday.... this shows in the report on this site:
www.guardian.co.uk...
The Poll also suggests that British Muslims pose a serious threat to democracy!
Nearly two-thirds of people believe there will be a 'clash of civilisations' between British Muslims and white Britons in the wake of the murder of a British soldier in Woolwich, a new poll shows.
The number of those who believe such a clash is inevitable has increased by 9% from last year.
There has also been a small increase in the proportion of people who believe British Muslims pose a serious threat to democracy, up to 34% on Thursday and Friday from 30% in November 2012, according to the YouGov survey of 1,839 adults.
The poll will fuel concern of an explosion of race hate, with one interfaith charity reporting a huge increase in anti-Muslim incidents since the murder of soldier Lee Rigby in south-east London on Wednesday.
Faith Matters, which runs a helpline, said they had received 162 calls since the attack, up from a daily average of six.
I would like to point out that the typical pie eating guy provided on the link is of no representation of the British Public! I have to ask why the media decided to put him as the main photo? Why not the average guy who wears a suit? Also, I wonder if by posting this guy on the link, is there another Agenda here? To get people to hate EDL even more???
Anyway, as i said in my Thread www.guardian.co.uk...

I was initially shocked by the headlines on your OP as I read the Guardian on a Saturday whenever I am in the UK. There was no comment on racial identities so it was your spin on it. Many people of all skin colours are concerned about Islamic fundamentalism and complete ignorance as seen in the BNP and EDL. Nice try to turn it into a Black white thing… There have been white Islamic fundamentalists.
The guardian piece is an interesting piece as it has a media dissembling piece. Did you read the last paragraphs? What about paragraphs 8 to 10.
By and large Britain is tolerant and a quietly strong country.

But the question is, why does Islam have so many extremists?
• 1 in 8 British Muslims support demonstrators who call for the death of those who insult Islam
ICM Research
• 68% of British Muslims believe that people who insult Islam should be arrested and prosecuted.
CBS
• NOP Research survey reports "hardcore Islamists" constitute 9% of the British Muslim population.
• A second group, 29% of the British Muslim population are "staunch defenders of Islam", who aggressively defend their religion from internal and external threats, real or imagined.
• 28% of British Muslims hope for the U.K. one day to become a fundamentalist Islamic state.
CBS
• 40% of UK Muslims support Sharia law being introduced in areas of Britain which are predominantly Muslim. 41% oppose this. 18% are undecided.
ICM Research
• 24% of British Muslims Support Suicide Bombing of Civilian Targets
• 35% of British Muslims aged 18-29 Support Suicide Bombing of Civilian Targets
Pew Research Poll (2007)

The whole issue of Palestine is a smoke screen as the Palestinian issue goes back the to creation of Israel so I must ask how come the fundamentalists have discovered this in the last ten years????
They have not but it is not a 'muslim' issue.
The 'issue' of the Palestinians is quite different and complex and many of them were and are Christians, not muslims.

The EDL-types are typically young working class "skinheads". I highly doubt a successful banker or law firm partner would have the time or care to join such a low movement.

"Skinhead" or close cropped hair is a lifestyle not to be confused with fascism or a movement, even a long haired individual can have extremist views,

So I highly doubt what you say. The EDL are typically your pub-skinhead-football yobs-hooligans who just wildly scream "throw those Muzzies out". They couldn't lead a small company, let alone an entire region, let alone an entire country!

Highly successful and intelligent persons do this - hence why they would not just simply jump at the "throw all them Muzzies out".

I highly doubt that wealthy and successful persons and elites would support random yobs - non-globalism isn't even in their best interests. How would they line their pockets with more profit if they don't get cheap overseas immigrants flooding in and working for pittances?
Globalism lines the pockets of the richest - it doesn't think of the little man or the "little Englander" and I highly doubt that the elite in their ivory towers are concerned with "cleansing". The violence on the streets would never dare reach them.

Sadly, I have always believed that the English have historically been special for two things: (1) we do not fight until it is clear that our trust has been betrayed and that peaceful means have and will continue to fail (the measurement being the safety and security of the English)
(2) we also fight like b**stards when we have to,

I would lik eto point out again though, that the clash of cultures between islam and other has NOTHING to do with race and place of origin. It is just as it says a clash of cultures,
I speak as someone who loves the Middle East, the desert and the bedouins - but they as far from ' polictical islam' as Jupiter is from Mars.

Wrong! I have to call you out here, because "historically" speaking British empire committed many crimes on Indian soil. Britishers did have peaceful means but chose the route of violence in cases such as "Jallianwala Bagh massacre".
It resulted in a struggle between the newly constituted states of India and Pakistan and displaced up to 12.5 million people with estimates of loss of life varying from several hundred thousand to a million
Partition of India
