patentdragonAnd just because the BBC news item I mentioned in the previous entry only linked to the Muslim campaigners' website, here's the link to the march organisers:-
March for Free Expression
Interesting how it didn't even make the TV news. Not enough violence or arrests, I suppose. The comments pages include links to the images of the "racist, anti-Islamic chaos", plus a lot of bitching.
*** UPDATE ***
I wasn't going to go any further with this, until I found out that the "other side" are just as bad, if not worse. Taken from the blog for the "Muslim Action Committee":-
Headline: "DISMAL TURNOUT AT FREE EXPRESSION MARCH HIGHLIGHTS THE ILL INTENTIONS OF ITS SUPPORTERS"
See for yourself. They're at Blogspot, but I'm not going to link to it directly, just as I didn't intend to link directly to the March For Free Expression.
It's a pity Backlash got involved in this. It's not their fight.
*** UPDATE UPDATE ***
In search of some perspective, I consulted The Crab Of Ineffable Wisdom, who had a little story to tell me. Awww...
A lesson for us all, I think.
And Finally... ...nine minutes and counting... Sorry, not 'til 6am, apparently. S'ok, I'm in no hurry to go into a pub.
