/// Libya has just gone through a civil war , which suggests that not everyone is in agreement with the new government. The British, amongst others, gave aid to the rebels, so its possible that some people wanted some form of retribution. ///
It has been reported that this attack was all part of the on-going retribution for the burning of the Koran, and therefore had no connection with the recent uprising..
/// Or do I have this wrong, if someone should burn a Koran in Birmingham we should condemn every Britain for it and use every resource to catch them? ///
Apparently this is the Islamic attitude, blame all Westerners, and even kill some, just because four US service personnel who unknowingly burnt a few Koran, and incidentally the US authorities will be carrying out a full inquiry over this episode.
Which is in fact the whole point of my original thread, "Can one see us taking to the streets, attacking the Libyan Embassy, or even murdering folk, over this sacrilege"?
"No, no matter how disgusting we see all this, we are civilised, more than be said for this rabble, and their followers".
But of course since then the whole thread has been taken out of it's original context, as is always the case.
/// I love your dual standards desecration of Muslim graves doesn’t count because it was in April last year, ///
You also have chosen to take something I posted and twist it to fit your own agenda.
If you had cared to read Gromit's post more careful he posted this passage "The graves were vandalised between 2100 BST on Wednesday and 0800 BST on Thursday".
I was merely putting a date to those times to stop any confusion, and point out that the graves were vandalised last year and not in retaliation for the recent war graves vandalism.
/// however I wonder if you can tell me how long the riots in High Wycombe went on for as I appear to have missed this point. Oh and have the vandals been caught? ///
No idea I also missed it, as Gromit was quick to point out, so because Gromit went to so much trouble delving back into the annuals of time, perhaps you should ask him.
I hope all this clarifies things for you, but I don't suppose it will, you and others will continue to distort fact, so as to put your own individual twist on things
