Isis Troll. How many yards down your road would he have made it??

[Hitman_Leon]

Well it would have been racist to arrest him.

No it wouldn't, he would have been arrested for a committing crime had it been seen that he was breaking the law, or are certain groups now allowed to do as they please in case they plead discrimination?

True but that 'flag' has brought a lot or terror to a lot of nations / people. Its something the world immediately identifies with extremist muslims!

It's not an illegal symbol, so it seems, yet.

Not sure how you worked that out. I would probably have arrested him and I find it a bit offensive to suggest I was doing that due to any perceived rave.

Well 80% of Palestinian muslims support ISIS. Over 50% of all Middle Eastern muslims support ISIS. ISIS is muslim. ISIS is Islamic to the core no matter how loud the uppity GD shills and apologists wish to shout..

[MikeTheNative]

I think it probably should be made illegal but till it is, you can't arrest a person if it isn't a crime. That sets a rather disturbing precedent if they did.

 

[monkentage]

Surely inconspicuous nutters are much more of a threat than conspicuous ones. Someone walking around London with an ISIS flag unmolested is a great demonstration of western style freedom of speech.

Once presumes you didn't mean rave?

What could or would you have arrested him for?

 

[Bensons]

I didn't realise Islam was a race!?

It is, just like being ginger.

We also need to remember that this so called "ISIS" flag is no such thing and rather a flag/group of words that many terrorists have adopted/hijacked , the flag already had political and theological significance!
In the same way I wouldn't want people assuming by me holding a St Georges Cross that I support EDL racist or anti-gay violence, we shouldn't automatically assume this person is an ISIS supporter!
He could have just been pointing out his support for shahada and the prophet’s seal, these are very important symbols that all Muslims share.

A swastiki had very different significance for a very long time before Nazism (and still does in some parts of the world). But someone parading around Westminster with a swastika as a public statement is rather unlikely to be wishing people prosperity.

St George's cross is still the flag of England and hasn't been taken over by violent racists. EDL are irrelevant blowhards and most of them aren't violent racists anyway. They certainly aren't mass-scale killers devoted to conquering the world, slaughtering large groups of people for ideological reasons and brutally oppressing everyone else. Unlike IS and the Nazis. Who have completely taken over the symbols they have chosen.

If you're irrational, cowardly, gullible, bigoted, ignorant, yeah sure, it's perfectly rational to fear the Isllam that millions of peaceful Muslims support

You're making some rather silly statements (e.g. about the point of wearing an IS flag) and raving that everyone who doesn't wholly agree with you is a bigot who is irrational to the point that it could be construed a mental illness (phobia is an extreme term) and now you're ranting further along the same lines.

In short, you're striving for power over others. That's the point of claiming victim status and trying to silence all disagreement - power over others. It is rational for people who are the target of that striving for power to fear it because the more it is obtained the more it will be used against us.

In addition, the more power Islam has the more power the more extreme Muslims will have. Without strong controls, power tends to end up in the hands of those who are willing to go further to get it. It doesn't matter whether or not they are a minority in terms of numbers - they will be running the show. For example, most Christians in Spain in the 15th century were decent enough people. That did nothing to stop the creation of the Spanish Inquisition.

Did you pull these facts out of back side? like most of your BS comments you can never back up your claims with facts... You sound like a typical bigot who has no idea on the subject, your as bad as those ISIS followers who claim that ISIS are following Islamic teachings....

ISIS is a political organisation using religion as an excuse for their actions.

...bullying, bigotry and prejudice...

Those words become meaningless if you just shout them at anyone who disagrees with you.

I'm not shouting them at everyone who disagrees with me, just at the people who are blaming or holding ALL Muslims and Islam responsible for the actions of a tiny minority of nut jobs!

If it looks like a duck, waddles like a duck and quacks like a duck, chances are it's a duck!!

While I agree in some respect, all the muslims I've met in my life have been very pleasant, this quote makes sense to me.

"with this many bad apples, there must be something wrong with the orchard"

Using a little girl as a human shield. Nice touch.

Things is mate, they are the main force in terrorism these days and all evil seems to come from the extremist branch of the muslim society. Its a shame as they are not all like that i agree. Its the sick evil ones who give the rest a bad name.

Is 'Bigot' the new forum word these days guys? See it thrown about everywhere!

I was going to say. Can't really confront him with the little girl on his shoulders.

Was it a little girl though? It could have been a dummy to look like a girl with a bomb inside!! Who knows with these people!

I am all for free speech but come on, imagine walking down the road with a WW2 Nazi German uniform on????

Yes I know the daily fail but, I dunno!

I clicked the link, the huge advert at the top was a bacon sandwich. Oh lawd.

Unfortunately, they don't. If a group has enough power, then spewing out false accusations of irrational prejudice is an effective way to silence dissent, compel obedience and gain more power from an increased perception of victimhood. That's why all group advocacy ideologies use that tactic - it works.
