A protest by 10,000 Muslims outside the offices of Google in London today is just the first in an orchestrated attempt to force the company to remove an anti-Islamic film from website YouTube in Britain.

Thousands had travelled from as far afield as Glasgow to take part in the demonstration,ahead of a planned million-strong march in Hyde Park in coming weeks.

....."Organisations like Google are key players and have to take responsibility for civility. You can't just say it doesn't matter that it's freedom of speech. It's anarchy."

Sheikh Siddiqui,a barrister from Nuneaton,said he wanted to form a coalition with the Church of England, Catholics, Jewish groups,Trade Unions and even Conservatives to encourage their ranks to join his "campaign for civility".

"We want everyone in society to recognise these people are wrecking our fragile global society....

As many as 800 imams in mosques across Britain helped to organise today's protest,which lasted four hours and blocked roads almost up to the Queen's doorstep on Buckingham Palace Road.

Muslims from Blackburn,Birmingham,Glasgow,Luton,Manchester and Peterborough were in attendance. When asked where where the women attending the protest were,one protester replied:"Right at the back".

Self-employed businessman Ahmed Nasar said he was worried the video could lead to violence in Britain in the same way as it had abroad."If you push people too far,"he said,"You will turn the peaceful elements into violence."

A YouTube spokesperson said:"We work hard to create a community everyone can enjoy and which also enables people to express different opinions.This can be a challenge because what's OK in one country can be offensive elsewhere. This video-which is widely available on the Web-is clearly within our guidelines and so will stay on YouTube."

I'm truly surprised Obama and Hillary weren't sent invites to speak and apologize for the 1st Amendment, the U.S. constitution and English common law (maybe they just looped the :30 ad Obama-Hillary made after 4 Americans were murdered in Libya).

"........Pakistani television channels aired an advertisement yesterday by the State Department with Obama and Clinton disavowing the film.

The 30-second U.S. announcement, subtitled in Urdu, shows Obama saying the U.S. rejects “all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others.” Clinton is shown saying, “the United States government had absolutely nothing to do with this video. We absolutely reject its content and message.”

The U.S. embassy in Islamabad produced the ad from public comments by Obama and Clinton, and the State Department spent about $70,000 to buy commercial time to show it, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters Sept. 20....." Source

It’s all over for the U.K. and most of western Europe.

Thanks Cincinatus’ Wife. When I see something like this, the first thing that comes to mind is, “open fire”.

That’s actually from the Seige of Acre in 1291 AD. The Muslims defeated the Crusaders, there.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Acre_(1291)

“The Siege of Acre (also called the Fall of Acre) took place in 1291 and resulted in the loss of the Crusader-controlled city of Acre to the Muslims. It is considered one of the most important battles of the time period. Although the crusading movement continued for several more centuries, the capture of the city marked the end of further crusades to the Levant. When Acre fell, the Crusaders lost their last major stronghold of the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem. They still maintained a fortress at the northern city of Tartus, engaged in some coastal raids, and attempted an incursion from the tiny island of Ruad, but when they lost that as well in 1302/1303 in the Siege of Ruad, the Crusaders no longer controlled any of the Holy Land.”

At first glance, I thought the thread title said "Age of Monkey".

Works for me. Might be about Imanutjob or something.

Just the scene of a warrior of the cross slaying the enemy is good enough.

Obama explaining “the problem” to David Letterman:

OBAMA: Here’s what happened. Eh, eh... Y-y-you had a video that was released by somebody who lives here, sort of a shadowy character who — who is an extremely offensive —

OBAMA: — video directed at — at Mohammed and Islam, making fun of the Prophet Mohammed. This caused great offence, uh, in much of the much of the Muslim world.

Didja see the `Muslims Campaign For Global Civility’ sign?

That’s really rich! Any place in the world where there is turmoil or strife you’ll find adherents to the Islamic `religion of peace’ on one side fomenting violence/`stirring the pot’: Nigeria; `Palestine’; throughout the middle east; the Philippines; Kashmir; the Arabian peninsula; the Caucasus; any country with a name ending in `stan’ (in this instance, in `Englandistan’); all of `Eurabia’ and coming soon to a neighborhood near you.
They are welcomed to a country as immigrants and the next thing you know they want to install the third-world s***-hole they came from!
If they try that crap here they’d better practice bleeding first.

Hey, Barry & Hillary!
Got your stories worked out yet? Liars are supposed to get their stories straight **before** they start lying. The Egyptian embassy squeezing out those warm horse droppings about how important it is not to “hurt the feelings of muslims”—as your ambassador was being sodomized and killed.
It would make a murder of crows blush, but not you two!

..........................................................
The only way to ensure civility among Muslims is to be heavily armed and outnumber them.

Who would be stupid enough to take responsibility for the civility of these animals.I would rather take responsibility for a nest of pit vipers.

10000 Muslims descend on the google headquarters in London over some dumb video. This reminds me of when they all took to the streets to protest 9/11... Oh wait...
