you guys encourage real world trolling like this due to the way you over react

Sure, but we have the relative freedom to do it. The punishment for littering or whatever this act was charged under is relative to the magnitude of the offence. I'm happy the law can't stoop to reach the expectations of inflammatory reactionaries!
Yes, as a BNP supporting Muslim hater I can't wait for the introduction of sharia law.
Irony much?

must have had our wires crossed chap, that was the point I was putting across.The idea of having to pay a penny towards it upsets me.
I think though really, if the offender in this case is so unhappy here maybe he should leave instead of straining Anglo Muslim relations and protect his home country?
I can't blame British people for getting angry about things such as this because it feels so personal and certainly everybody has a fuse some, just shorter than others, I think especially on the internet too!
haha I think you know the point I was making
Just because you might face a more severe consequence in another culture that has a misguided sense of justice, that shouldn't affect what determines an apt punishment in our country.
A person who burns some poppies to provoke us is just the same as someone who draws Muhammed to provoke Muslims - one great big epic jerk. But that's about it.
That was generally my point
I explained it to asim already, I honestly thought it was obvious - I guess people I know are just used to my sense of humour

Ah there we go then, I can always do with learning to read a bit better too
In some senses the £50 fine is more a statement. It shows a small degree of tolerance, restraint and shows how little we really care about their attempt for attention.
You lock him up, others with extremist sympathies will crawl out of the wood work. You might silence one but you might end up finding you have 10 more people willing to make a statement like burning a poppy.

Totally agree.
Although if i was the judge i would have deducted the £50 from his benefits, so the tax payer doesn't pay for it.
Okay, lets flip this comment / situation.
You live in a predominantly muslim country. Post on some middle eastern equivelant of OcUK with the same outspoken views.. You're not religious but you're proud of your culture and it's religion.
Someone posts a thread about someone burning the Qur'an.
Would you call for this girl to be killed in the most painful way possible?

No, religion is the problem!
Burning a symbol of freedom is hardly proving a point. The guy is nothing more than a hypocrite.
My point was a cynical one aimed at belittling Sharia law.
Would you care to expand upon your comment?
Let us take the 'article' in question - does the problem lie with Islam as a religion (thus we also blame the majority of muslims) or the extremist individual (the miniscule minority) who undertakes ridiculous actions but states his connection with Islam?

The guys a muppet and needs 2 fingers waving in his face! And then send him to bongo bongo land!
Yes, they did. They fought to protect our freedoms, freedoms which include doing things that other people might find offensive.
