The murder of soldier Lee Rigby has provoked a backlash of anger across the UK, including the attacking of mosques, racial abuse and comments made on social media.

Eleven people have been arrested around Britain for making 'racist or anti-religious' comments on Twitter following the brutal killing in Woolwich on Wednesday.

The incident has also prompted a huge increase in anti-Muslim incidents, according to the organisation Faith Matters, which works to reduce extremism.

Before the attack about four to eight cases a day were reported to its helpline. But the group said about 150 incidents had been reported in the last few days, including attacks on mosques.

Listen to me and you shall hear, news hath not been this thousand year:
Since Herod, Caesar, and many more, you never heard the like before.
Holy-dayes are despis’d, new fashions are devis’d.
Old Christmas is kicked out of Town
Yet let’s be content, and the times lament, you see the world turn’d upside down.

Doesn’t the Daily Mail usually allow comments? Irony is ironic.

Sounds like a staged set up to arrest British citizens.

He’s sure in the contest isn’t he. Bet he imagines the Secret Service guys are prepared to dodge in front of a bullet for him too.

Are their comments against stupid British sensibilities? This is so ridiculous.

"Reports are being posted online that large numbers of young Swedish men are now patrolling Stockholm and battling with the Muslim rioters. The Swedish media states that a large number of police mobilized to prevent “50 right-wing extremists” from patrolling the streets of Tumba, a suburb of Stockholm."

I guess the Swedes deserve the gov't they elected.

The Hasan workplace incident seems to come close to fitting the bill.

How many more will it take?

The police are between two stools: they are trying to stop a race/civil war breaking out. Personally I think these arrests are a waste of time.

Oi, knock off attacking the British police. The UK police are good men and women doing their job.

Read any crime/legal story in the Mail, and they never and cannot accept comments from readers due to our laws.

You mean like when they watched and didn’t stop the muslims who slashed a teacher for teaching muslims about other religions?

Or did you mean doing a good job like when they went after Channel 4 for a documentary showing extremism in mosques?

Or did you mean doing a good job like leaving little girls as sex slaves for muslim gangs because hey feared being called racists?

Or did you mean doing a good job like when they went after the father of one of these girls for racial hatred/racism after he saved his daughter?

The government will only succeed in pushing it underground where the anti-islam movement will arm and hopefully rear its head(s) like an angry hydra.
