Muslim Riots: Just Thugs With A 'Cause'?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-19678412
Can such conduct really be justified? Is there really any discernible difference in these rioters to those whose behaviour blighted our cities last year?
Aren't all of these kinds of individuals not just waiting for a supposed 'excuse' to indulge in extreme lawlessness, blatant destruction of property, widespread and flagrant thievery, arson etc ?
What possesses anyone to similarly, so say, 'protest' in such vile and reprehensible fashion even in democracies such as ours?

It is certainly not an easy situation as there is a clash of true fundamentals on either side - however, it's easy enough to make such comments as Kero has done, the more interesting debate is does anyone have any ideas of how to resolve this, and not by the shoot-em/burn-em/bomb-em mobs.....Personally, to start things going, I think Russia has to come off the blocks and take some affirmative action to getting the Pres of Syria out and then taking a strong message into M-East leadership to get them to back their populations off the backs of the USA
DT,
Just when I was beginning to warm to you? "his grandfather"?
Well, yes, the Russians just love playing 'roulette' (cough) whilst others go ahead and slaughter one another mercilessly, and our Comrades then take full advantage of the vaccuum of despair and destruction left behind before riding in like the 7th Cavalry to 'save the day' - on their terms.
They learned big lessons in Afghanistan - we were on holiday during those 'holidays' apparently - although they haven't come out of Chechnya too well, have they? Or have they come out at all? Then of course they had kittens when the Yanks almost got a toehold in Georgia a few years ago? They seem to hanker after the old buffer zones afforded them by the relative security of the Iron Curtain and are clearly feeling more vulnerable than those halcyon days prior to 1989/90?
So they have to be a wee bit more cautious these days before taking the plunge, understandable from their viewpoint, I guess?
