Islamofascists have been burning paper St.George flags in London this afternoon in protest against Salman Rushdie's knighthood. The trouble is, they'd drawn one flag on the back of one of their own posters, so they ended up burning the word 'Muslims' too.
I'm pleased to see these people burning our flag. I'd much rather have seen them burning it along with the Danish flag during last year's Cartoon Wars but our government and newspapers wimped out, leaving our ally to take all the flack. Rushdie's knighthood goes some way to redressing the balance. At last, the British establishment, albeit probably unwittingly, has thrown down a challenge to Islamists. If these barbarians are burning our flag, we must be doing something right.














Shame to burn that "flag" after all the lovely colouring in.
Joking aside... what the fuck are these scrotes doing here? Makes me want to burn a fucking mosque down.

Quite right steve. Though those words were quite strong for you.

Yeah, maybe I'm just in a bad mood.

Naw, you're just shedding your winter coat and coming out into the sunlight.
You've always been outspoken against Islam, since I've been reading this anyway, you just speak more softly than I do. Don't look now but you may be losing a bit of that conservative outer layer. Which is only right. Just how much are you supposed to genteely put up with from such dross before you've had enough?
Over here we call scum like that "trailer trash". Those are the public-dole low lifes who demonstrate against the very system that keeps them in spaghetti and badly made drugs.
What would be good would be organized rioters who attack the muslims with baseball bats every time they pull stunts like this. A little demonstration of national pride from time to time would do wonders for the mindset of the average true Britisher.

Aww! If they're going to start burning the St. George's flag instead of the Union Jack now I'm not going to able to yell "Bloody Arabs are burning our flag upside down again - don't they know that's a distress signal!" at the TV any more. Pity.
OK, so I'm an obsessive compulsive who used to be in the cubs. It shows sometimes ;)

Why are they burning the St George's flag rather than the Union flag? Is the Islamic Brotherhood in a secret anti-English alliance with the SNP and Plaid, perchance? I think we should be told.
I'm not qualified to comment on whether Salman the Smug deserves a knighthood for "services to literature", having fallen asleep after the first turgid page of "Midnight's Children" and having never opened any of the rest of his oeuvre, but he sure as hell deserves one for "services to winding up Muzzies".

I'm so pleased with the response from the Religion of Plumbers that I think we should give Rushdie a knighthood every year, just to rub it in.

Well said Wayne, we could if done properly blow this up to a full scale "Cartoon" size crisis.
I think Salman should get an OBE next year, then a peerage the year after and so on.
Never read any of Salmans books, sorry Sir Salman; not even the one that has got all the moslems all wound up - not that it takes much to do that.

Edwin, I think they're burning the St.George flag because it's easier to draw. Trying to get the proportions right for the Union Jack is a right pain in the arse.

BTW Edwin, are you still writing at Dogwash, or have you packed it in?

Hamas has been presented by many in the West, and especially in the media, as a legitimate liberation movement that should be officially recognised by Western states. This view accepts almost intuitively that radical Islamist terrorist groups are the only true and authentic representatives of their societies and nations.
Other powerful forces within these societies are ignored. It is argued that Western governments should recognise these “moderate” Islamist movements that have a political wing, have entered the democratic process in their countries and have gained legitimacy from large constituencies within their own societies. Another argument is that violent movements have always influenced world history, and that, historically, states finally had to deal with terrorists who later became leaders of their new nations or of political parties within their states. Based on these precedents it is argued that recognition, negotiation and appeasement are the best way of dealing with them.
Most of these commentators have a shaky knowledge of Islam, accepting the myth that it is inherently a religion of peace and tolerance. They reason that expressions of violence by Muslims are not rooted in Islam, but in the oppression and poverty of the Muslim masses whose most basic need is to be liberated from their oppressors. This of course is basic Marxist theory incorporated as well into Christian Liberation Theology. These observers advocate that Western governments engage in dialogue with Islamist terror groups, get to understand them better, and induce them to participate in a peace process along the lines of South Africa and Northern Ireland. Such observers seem to be ignorant of the fact that Islamists are masters of taqiyya, the long standing Islamic practice of deception in favour of Islam and its goals. Islamists will not knowingly convey to a Westerner their true aims and motives. There is a real danger that efforts at legitimizing Islamists will marginalise Mu slim moderates, liberals, secularists and democrats who are already under tremendous pressure from the Islamists.
The brutal Hamas takeover of the Gaza strip in mid-June 2007, which included murders of wounded Fatah soldiers in their hospital beds in full view of patients and staff and the throwing down of the President’s cook from the roof of a 15 storey building, shows that Hamas fully ascribes to the radical Islamist doctrine of emulating Muhammad’s migration model (hijra) by stages(1). This is a staged programme that seeks to establish an Islamic state under shari‘a modelled on Muhammad’s practice. Islamists are out to capture the state in stages following Muhammad’s paradigm of first setting up an alternative Islamic society which when strong enough will take over full control of the state and its centres of power. The methods are dictated by the stage in which the movement finds itself: in the first stage of weakness it focuses on peaceful mission work recruiting individuals to its ranks. In the second stage of consolidation it organises its infrastructure, buil ds up its armed forces and engages in dissimulation such as the acceptance of the democratic process in order to strengthen its position. Finally in the stage of strength, when it deems the right time has come and it is strong enough, it uses violence with no holds barred to take over the state and initiate a jihadi campaign to expand its sphere of dominion.
A similar process has been going on in Lebanon with Hizbullah, which is poised to take over the centres of power and the state itself from the legitimate Lebanese government.
It is time leaders in the West recognise that Islamists are focused on gaining ultimate power in all states and societies they operate in. Appeasement only encourages them to speed up their programme in the face of perceived weakness of their enemies. The lesson from Gaza is that it was a mistake to allow Hamas to build up its military wing over decades. It was a mistake to allow it to build up its social infrastructure as an alternative to that of the official Palestinian Authority. It was a mistake to allow it to enter the political democratic process as a legitimate party while maintaining and expanding its military wing.
For those with eyes to see, similar processes are underway among the Muslim communities in Western states, including Britain, as Islamists build up a vast infrastructure of organisations and institutions while presenting themselves as liberal and democratic. There can be no doubt that their final goal, according to their published dogmas, remains an Islamic state under shari‘a. The tactics will differ and change, but the goal remains the same and the method of attaining it in well defined stages will continue to be used. Most Islamists in the West reckon they have moved past the first stage into the second, that of building up and strengthening their infrastructure while using deception to enter the democratic process so as to gain new positions of power. Once they judge they are strong enough, they will move into the third stage of power when violence will be used, if necessary, to gain total control of state and society.

Howdy cousins....since so many like burning the St. George flag, my wife and I agreed to get one and fly it from the house. If anyone wants it, I will get the first shot off. Thanks for the bait, bud.

It's nice to see some people that aren't scared to speak out against the muslims, this country has become to PC of late and no one seems to have the balls to do anything about it.
These people are in our country sponging off of our benefits and all the while they're burning our flags and attempting to blow up our airports.
Luckily so far these recent terrorists haven't had the brains to actually pull off anymore than circus tricks like setting themselves a light. Why some idiot put out the flames I don't know, although now he is alive I think they should rub salt in his wounds!
