Re: Stop the bnp
We all watched the news and saw the story mentioned in the leaflet. British troops where abused by muslins, fact. I don't know the full facts of your story it could have been something totally different from the muslim incident. Are you saying muslims did not abuse British troops on British soil?

Re: Stop the bnp
Err, no. I thought the point was clear: People of many creeds & colours have acted disgustingly by abusing our returning troops, but this idiot-fuelled propaganda dropped through our doors only refers to one event; the protest including people of Islam, hereby implying that all people of Islam are out to attack British troops exclusively.

Nope, I've re-read your comment and it does not imply all people of islam are out to attack British troops, that's just how you interpreted the leaflet.

Re: Stop the bnp
'by Muslims'.
Yes it does.
Why didn't it say 'anyone' abusing our troops?

Re: Stop the bnp
No, you're right, it doesn't imply that all people of Islam are out to attack British troops. I was wrong. The leaflet angered me, as all of their hate-inciting propaganda does, and I vented with an over zealous post.
The quote still typifies the anti-Islam attitude of the BNP however, and if they really cared about the attacks on troops, it would have condemned anyone who attacks a British soldier.

Re: Stop the bnp
Just got the BNP leaflet ... reading it ... it says Campaign to get Britain out of the EU and use the £60b a year we'd save to restore the nhs and invest in british jobs ... one thing ... the only way we could come out of the EU is thro Parliament .. not the EU .. and the bnp are fielding the candidates in the EU elections .....also says No to the Euro .. we already have .. we still have £'s shillings and pence dont we ... or is that a defunct currency that i have in my purse?

You don't have to support the BNP to be anti-islam.
I still don't know the facts of the attack on the soldier, have you got a link? It could have been nothing to do with him being a soldier, maybe just some drunks or a fight over a girl?

I never said otherwise. I said the BNP is anti-Islam.

The issue is that not only people of Islam abuse/attack soldiers, which the BNP quote implied, and that you seem to be avoiding. Is it impossible for you to comprehend that someone other than a practising Muslim would attack a soldier?
I'm still looking for the article I first mentioned. To keep you going, here's a couple of others:

Was there not a report of a soldier being attacked by some drunks in Oswaldtwisle a few weeks back? I seem to recall reading about it.
As for the Muslims we all saw them on the News staging their protests at the Homecoming parade in Luton. Nobody should be allowed to vent their hatred in such a public way.
