Poppy-burning Muslim protesters mar Armistice Day commemorations

[Treffie]

Islamic protesters sparked fury today after they burned a model of a poppy and deliberately broke the silence at Armistice Day commemorations in central London.

As millions of Britons fell silent to remember those who have died in war, members of a group called Muslims Against Crusades clashed with police during an 'emergency demonstration' in Kensington, west London.
As the clock struck 11am, the Islamic protesters burned a model of a poppy and chanted 'British soldiers burn in hell'.

Some Celtic fans were at it too, just disrespectful.

I wish them ill. How dare they? This makes me so angry I can't even seem to piece together an answer. My family is the most anti-war there is, but we're not idiots, we don that poppy every year! I need to get a breath of fresh air.
Not sure how much self restraint I could've shown if I had been there.

Outrageous! What the hell is wrong with these people?

This mangy bunch was most likely bussed in from outside the area where the protest took place. You can find sorry rabble like this at just about any protest in the States, and the more proper term for them would be a rent-a-mob.

I wish the police did not defend them, they should take the beating they should expect for such a protest.

Oh why did you do it?
Have you not the guts to say
You say it was an accident or even a ricochet
But like Loughgall and Gibraltar you´re lies are well renowned
You murdered Aiden McAnespie on his way to the Gaelic ground!

Why should Celtic supporters be forced to show respect to the animals that butchered their way through Ireland dressed in black and tan? The poppy isn't just about remembering the men who fought in the World Wars. It's about honouring every man who donned a uniform in the Queen's forces. That includes the monsters that terrorised Irish soil, the monsters that butchered their way through the Middle East and into East Asia.

It's an insult to lump every serviceman together.

What do they care?
Being immigrants, they have no connection or respect of past European conflicts.


This behavior should not be tolerated!

Is it not just in commemoration of the WWs? Hence why they're worn on Armistice Day?
