Ok.Your first link happened in Malaysia so is irrelevant, your second link is a Jewish/ Islam interfaith group so not widely accessible to the majority of Britons, your 3rd one states-' it's main aim however is to establish a Muslim caliphate across Europe.' - exactly the sort of ethos that will feed suspicion and hatred.
And your last 2 seem to be agreeing with most if what I gave been suggesting though the latter is based around a small sect of Muslims who are not necessarily going to have much influence or clout with the wider community.
It is, nevertheless, at least a baby step in a positive direction.
Ok, the BBC story indicates that there is some positive media coverage does it not .?
I would, however point out, that this protest highlights the difference between the western, secular notion of freedom of expression against an Islamic right not to have its religion questioned or insulted. Again, more possible fuel for the fire.
Yep, just a baby step. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Mark 3:29 - "but whoever may blaspheme against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin"
Sounds to me like all those Christians who feel like they are having their faith trodden on by the PC Brigade, need to stand up against all those who feel its OK to insult their God.
You can't blame the media.
Every day, there is terrorist activity, bombings and wars, and (apart from Ukraine) 90% of the time this is down to Islamists.
The other day a huge bomb went off in Abuja, capital of Nigeria. But the list is world wide.
The ISAL war in Iraq is recent and like so many ongoing conflicts is Muslim vs Muslim.
Most of the links you posted are like a PR exercise to convince non Muslims that everything is peaceful in the house. When we see what is going on in practice, it's a waste of breath.
The biggest danger is to moderate muslims who will be forced, eventually, to adopt stricter versions verging on Wahibi. It is already happenning in schools in Britain, with the imposition of head gear for even younger girls. Many moderates never grew up with this and privately object to it, but it is easier to send your daughter to school with it, than without it.
Yes I can. If the below stories had happened in Luton or Bradford, they would be front page news.

N Ireland is not front page anymore because, contrasting the violence during the troubles - this is peaceful.
For sure, if this happened in Bradford it would be news simply because, unlikeN.Ireland we don't expect anything like this to happen.
On 25th the news from Nigeria was far more serious.
At least 21 people killed and 52 injured in a shopping Mall. This is after the school girl kidnappings. The violence is getting worse and could (and probably will ) lead to civil war.
We saw the same in Kenya.
These are new terrorist developments and should be front page news.
I suspect these were front page news in Northern Ireland don't you .?
