if a load of Christians went to the largest mosque in London and were to burn the Quran, should the UK worry about that "protest"?

The UK is a Christian country..... its not comparable.

If Christians were going on an anti-abortion march damn right i'd think they were nutcases.

who cares if its the tooth fairy or a flying monkey, Freedom of speech WORKS BOTH WAYS

I don't think you know what freedom of speech is.

As a tip, it does not for example include inciting hatred, or threatening people. So you can say "what that group is doing is wrong" but you can't threaten them, or incite others to be violent towards them.

Freedom of speech does not mean somebody cannot be a nutter for saying certain things.....

e.g. burning flags.... which seems rather popular in Muslim countries....

What, people can't even protest now? :rolleyes:

one of them was holding a huge banner saying the cartoonists "must be hanged" - surely that's overstepping free speech when it's advocating/threatening violence?

Doesn't look like a minority to me:

Also, doesn't seem to be limited to Pakistan:

Philippines:

another "minority":

These guys don't look obsessed one bit :rolleyes:

I don't think you understand the definition of the word 'minority'. Go pick up a dictionary; you might actually end up learning something new.

Who cares? Who are you to tell people what they can or can't protest/believe in?

No, because its their choice.

So you want people to use free speech only in what you deem is to be true & when it suits you?

those pakistanis wanted the charlie people hanged. i want people to use free speech to not want to kill you cannot incite violence against another person . dont be that guy. (the apologist). also notice how we all use words these animal savage House-asians<- malcolm x used this term are condoning the use of murder.

Maybe in Pakistan it's acceptable to incite violence against blasphemy? They are their own country after all. Why do France's ideals apply over there? They don't. It's a can of worms.

What is their objective in their protests though?

Oh clever. 49.9999% would also still be a minority. Well done for educating someone on how to be pedantic.

There was a guy who posted a video about banning Peppa Pig and the amount of death threats he got from white British Christians was immense. Does that mean that we should deal with white British Christians the same way?

Truth is every population has a small fraction of lunatics. Even these so called 'free, democratic, civilised' Western populations (refer to Anders Behring Breivik)

There are an estimated 1-2 billion Muslims in the world and so the number of Muslim lunatics will be a lot but as a proportion it will not be. It is simple an illusion to you guys because Muslims make up such a small minority here in Britain. It makes you think they comprise a lot less of the global population than they do and so, it seems as though they are overrepresented in terms of terrorism. Fun fact: only 2% of terrorist attacks in Europe were perpetrated by Muslims
