Everyone has the right to be offended just as they have the right to offend.
If something pissed me off so much about a place then i would leave it.Freedom of speech and democracy obviously is'nt everybody's cup of tea eh.

I agree but only a handful of offended Muslims did that and so we can't say they did it 'for all Muslims' or even in 'the name of Muslims'. Most Muslims were just as horrified by these shootings as everyone else.
I've seen some real nasty stuff said towards Orthodox Jews because of the way they dress (their religious uniform) but what I've witnessed is, those men just walk on without so much as a cursory glance. I'm sure they are deeply offended, in fact every time they slip on their shtreimel and venture out across London, they risk getting ridiculed by the ignorant.
What you have to remember is, many Muslims and Jews for that matter were born here. This is their country as much as it is ours.
