Should Azhar Ahmed had been arrested and charged over his inappropriate Facebook comments?
Perhaps some should now be careful of the comments they make on AnswerBank?

If John Terry can be charged, then so can any one of any race.
One other thing that should be taken into consideration. Your online presence is not divorced from your real life presence. What this lad (allegedly) did electronically, is put up posters with racist insults against murdered soldiers.
He may have done it online, but that's no different from publicly broadcasting (allegedly) racist views.

Damn, we can't comment on the Daily Mail site itself 'because of legal reasons'. Well, that saves a lot of DM online readers from being arrested!
All ABers are careful, aren't we ? Though we hardly need to be. None of us are obsessed with expressing racial or religious hatred,or fear and prejudice, or anything of the kind. We are particularly careful not to be misunderstood. Or do you have some names to name, aog?.

I think you have to be alot more careful on FB as you're using your real identity in front of an audience who knows you.
What you can get away with is totally dependant on your level of anominity. Whats the worst that can happen with an ambigious username linked to a hotmail address - banned by the site admin.
Its tame on here when you read comments on YouTube videos etc.

What then is the difference to all those who openly held up posters on the streets, with insults against our soldiers, but were not likewise arrested?
Would it be that those insults were acceptable because they did not contain any racist element?

The Poppy burners posters, while insulting and offensive, they were not racist. Here is one such.

The difference is that the posters weren't actually racist:
http://img.dailymail....lim220806_600x400.jpg
http://i.dailymail.co...005DC-314_634x408.jpg
The posters are stating a point of view, that British soldiers committed acts of butchery in Basra.
This is along the same lines as the anti-war demonstrators who held up posters of Tony Blair (or as they wittily renamed him Bliar) calling him to account as a war criminal.
Without knowing what Azhar Ahmed actually wrote, we cannot compare his language to that of the protestors in my links.

/// I think a law should be passed which should cover anti-captialist protestors, the EDL, Muslim protestors etc, that if you take to the street to protest, you may do so, but if you should not be allowed to cover your face.///
/// That should be an arrestable offence. ////
What about protesting wearers of the Burka?

Ooh...good point.
Hadn't thought that one through. I admit, I don't know about that. I really haven't a clue.
Just read what Azhar Ahmed (allegedly - God, I'm getting tired of that caveat)wrote. Up until midway through, I can understand his anger, expecially when you think of the 11 innocent Muslims, including women and children who were executed late last week.
However, he dives off the deep end in his final sentences.
Also, his grammar is frickin' inexcusable.
