My views on this are similar to those of my last thread regarding extremists and their Hijabs(or ninja hoods :p), essentially our government is backwards and for whatever reason totally biased against Brits.

A FORMER squaddie who burned a copy of the Koran in anger after seeing Muslims set fire to poppies has been jailed for 70 days.
Andrew Ryan, 32, "lost it" after watching videos of extremists which also included them abusing soldiers returning from duty in Afghanistan.
After stealing a £5 copy of the Islamic holy book from a library he stood on a bench in a street and set it alight, yelling: "You burn our poppies, I'll burn your Koran."

Choudhury... £60 fine
Ryan, who is in the right-wing English Defence League, admitted religiously aggravated harassment, alarm and distress and stealing the library book in January.
Eleven of his supporters walked out of Carlisle Magistrates' Court in Cumbria after the sentencing, shouting: "That's a joke."
It comes after Islamic extremist Emdadur Choudhury, 26, was fined £60 for torching poppies in London on Armistice Day.
Judge Chalk said Ryan, of Cumbria, who has six convictions for offences including using indecent or racially aggravated language at a football game, was guilty of "preplanned theatrical bigotry".

Jailed... Andrew Ryan
He added: "You went out to cause maximum distress to people of the Islamic faith."
Now to reiterate, I'm not saying what this man did is right. And you don't make a right w/ 2 wrongs. But that doesn't change the fact that 70 days in prison for this after that prat pictured above was fined just £60 for burning poppies is flat-out BS.
I think to say this once great country is crumbling would be an understatement...
