In my closing paragraph I refer "To all those who took part in such protests", and am therefore not generalising to Muslims as a whole.<br /><br />I agree with you Vicky, that the small but very vocal extremists seems to be those that are getting their voices heard and giving the vast majority a bad name. Since they continue to carry out such offensive protests, they are always going to grab the media's attention. <br /><br />Perhaps the solution therefore is to stop giving them the attention they so obviously crave. Maybe the media should stop reporting on their protests, or at least downplay them. While they continue to grab the media's headlines, there is little incentive for them to stop.Dominic Burfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12365158014788781992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450828259337691498.post-35457014582474175852010-11-12T10:18:22.605+00:002010-11-12T10:18:22.605+00:00I agree with what you are saying Dom, but we must ...I agree with what you are saying Dom, but we must also remember that this is a group of 'extremist' Muslims whose actions are putting the others into disrepute - as I have seen and heard a lot of comments about Muslims in the past 24 hours which tarnishes all Muslims with the same brush. <br /><br />I have Muslims within my family who have come to the UK legally, undertaken Citizenship tests and learnt English to a very high standard. They also like to take part in some of our customs (like putting up a tree at Christmas) to show how much they love England and how grateful they are to be here. It is a shame that the actions of a small minority can ruin it for them - as unfortunately - some people do think that all Muslims act in the same disrespectful way.Vicky Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03553791923622717230noreply@blogger.com
