How stupid can you be? If I went on to go live in another country i'd make sure I learned the language and i'd respect their customs/traditions. Not the other way around 
I don't mind them, just don't pressurize me into anything, I don't believe in fairytales 
These people are stupid, and people do it all the time, its not only muslims is what I was saying.

christian extremists don't have to march in the streets here (usa) because they already play a significant role in government. i wouldn't go as far to say that they own the government, but they are one special interest group that has had a lot of power in american politics since the 80's. religious extremism is sickening in all its guises. and what's most troubling to me is that it paints all devotees of the tradition in its colors. for example, a lot of people tend to think that most muslims are extremist. this is not the case as the largest muslim population in the world is in indonesia, where extremism is generally considered laughable. the reaction to religious extremism has largely been one of outright rejection of religion itself. this is nothing more than the same zealous exclusivity dressed in different ideological garb. the solution, in my view, lies in a re-thinking of the way we approach religion. we must separate the extremists from the non-extremists as well as acknowledge and respect the differences in the traditions in order to find common ground.

koraks said: So if the violent retards are the problem, the question remains if Muslims are more likely to be violent retards. It seems to me that religion in itself is not the problem here. Every religion is dogmatic and it really depends on a group of people if they choose to act according to any dogma. And perhaps that's the problem with the Muslims in Western countries: these people are fairly to extremely dogmatic along the lines of their religion, and Westerners are fairly to extremely dogmatic along the lines of freedom of expression and whatnot. It's two belief systems clashing, with the violent retards making things messy.
Dogema. So inflexible. Wow.
I pretty much agree. Sadly we exist in an environment that almost exclusively focuses on the violent minorities, with the utmost of bias.

religious extremists don't want and won't concede common ground that's kind of the point.

Bullshit. This is the worst kind of relativism there is. There is an extreme difference between Muslims and any other religious group I can think of. Extreme

these people make make me want to vomit and renounce my claim to humanity. actually it makes me want to cast them out of the human race. I couldnt even hold a person hand over an open flame for a few seconds, much less throw their body into a pit of fire for an infinite period of time. What kind of "thoughts" are these people having? It seems like mental illness to me. It seems objectively worse than most brands of Christianity I've encountered. It is simply intolerant to everything that is different. I can't stomach that.
I'm guessing these protests are sparked by the UK's unconscionable stop-and-frisk policies. Also, the reporter in this video is anything but impartial in her coverage. Fuck the police anyway.
