Fury erupts outside U.S. Embassy in London as hundreds stage mock funeral for Osama Bin Laden
Source: dailymail.co.uk

A protest by hundreds of Osama Bin Laden supporters sparked fury outside the US Embassy in London today as they staged a mock 'funeral service' for the terror leader.

Police stepped in to separate the protesters and members of the English Defence League amid threats of violence from both sides.

Radicals carrying placards proclaiming 'Islam will dominate the world' branded US leaders 'murderers' and warned vengeance attacks were 'guaranteed'.

The protest came shortly after the verdict into the 7/7 inquest was released by Lady Justice Heather Hallett.

1. Osama Supporters v. Skinhead Assholes
I suggest the cops evacuate the area and set up the barriers around them, rather than between them.

27. Yes! Make sure they are completely contained and give them
all live ammunition! I admit that if I have to pick a side, I go for the nationalists, but happy to see them both go.

33. There are NO sides that represent me
Even the nationalists. The British Empire has killed many innocents just as al Queda has. They're each Nazis with a different stripe.

2. 'Islam will dominate the world'... Really?....Really?
Even Bin Laden wasn't that delusional.

5. But Judgment Day is May 21 so this is all moot
...at least according to the nutbag xtian fundies outside Toronto's Union Station this morning! What I wouldn't give to see their faces on the 22nd of May!

9. They were in DC yesterday too.
There was an article in the WaPo about them. I saw their caravan of trucks parked at a suburban shopping mall yesterday afternoon.

I didn't stop to talk with them.

24. They are succeeding. We're nearly a banana republic. A few rich people and everyone
else poor. That's the Christian faither model.

45. Islam has been held in check by secular governments as well.
Sure, Christians in the US were hanging people for the skin color and sexual preferences just 50 years ago, but hey, we're not savage like "them", we were kept in check?

7. um..the al-Muhajiroun types are funny like that--London is home to some strange people
Edited on Fri May-06-11 01:11 PM by Alamuti Lotus
I'm not sure if that's still what the glorified press office is still named, but they can always be counted on for the most controversial and outlandish statements; actual radical mujihadeen believe they are an intelligence front (Mi6, Mossad, FSB, etc), but I know some of these guys and that unjustly presumes 'intelligence' is remotely involved with their approach..

Being a citizen, even a moronic one, would be a reason preventing deportation.

11. most probably are; 2nd or 3rd generation from Commonwealth immigrants
all more or less basically legal citizens by the law.. my brief experience with the London 'underground' suggested that, anyway, though the skinheads and their ilk will (endlessly) protest otherwise.

31. George Carlin had a great idea for a good summer festival
I'll paraphrase, since I probably will miss certain details and butcher the delivery, but the main point was this:

get a couple thousand men. you know the type, super macho assholes. fill them up full of beer and crank and just let them loose. we could call it Slug Fest. just let them go at it until there's just one guy left, put him up on a pedastal and shoot him.

Your idea made me think of that. Is that an active volcano they'd be thrown into, or just some desolate rock?

21. That is my point. You assume they are deportable You assume
they are not citizens in suggesting they are deportable.

of assholes. They should put them all in a field, surround it with fencing and let them go at it. Then you shoot the one that walks out.

On edit: I really hate the way those skinhead assholes have co-opted St. George's Cross as a flag for their moronic vision of the future.

so unrealistic after all.

39. Let them dare try this here
London has truly turned to shit. Thankfully, this would never happen here, as those extremists wouldn't dare have a pro-Osama rally in the US. The backlash wouldn't be pretty.

43. Anyone know why they have that red cross on a white flag? I don't recognize it...
Also, why can't we take all the religious extremists and put them on, say, Antarctica, where they can kill each other. Last one standing can create their own theocracy and leave the rest of us the hell alone.
