Random acts of unkindness

[sp1814]

After the poppy-burning incident by the Muslim fanatics (aka 'trouble-making <expletives>') last year, should we REALLY be agreeing with some of these Daily Mail readers that (effectively) attacks on Muslims of any descent are, to an extent, deserved?

And why target a Somalian mosque when the poppy-burners were of Pakistani descent?

To some people, anyone with a dark skin is fair game.

nope. Not that I agree with Mail readers about anything very much.

It beggars belief. What a horrible place his head must be to live in.....

I get the daily Mail delivered ever day. I tend not to read the news items or read them with my cynical hat on.

It has a good TV guide, cartoons, competitions and pull-out puzzle section in the middle.

This is an example of the stupid "tit for tat" mentality that starts a lot of problems in society and the world.

Well sp as a Daily Mail reader, what do you think?

He'd better watch there isn't a FATwa out on him :-)

They have a point that it isn't racism since it isn't to do with race; but religious belief. And IMO a gaol sentance would be over the top. But an act of such deliberate offence should have resulted in more than an apology, I think. As the offense was towards the Muslim community, perhaps a period of community service within the Muslim community might have been appropriate, and help understanding/education.

A mere storm in a teacup. Why should this idiot have been jailed for shoving some ham into shoes when a bunch of Muslim hooligans almost caused a riot in Luton? last year when our heroic service personnel were marching through after laying their lives on the line in Iraq+Afghanistan?

Don't remember those Muslims being jailed?
