If you want to talk about narrow-mindedness, there are a fair few narrow minded people in the Muslim community. Those who want to bring Sharia Law here for instance, who keep their women at home pregnant, barefoot and speaking their native language, who hate the British way of life... if I was a Muslim, I would want to distance myself from those people, and clearly many decent Muslims want to do that.

I find it slightly offensive that you're calling for anyone but terrorist scum to be exterminated, frankly.

Livia, Jack never said he wanted anyone but terrorist scum to be exterminated so hope your less offended now.

On topic I think its saddening to see peoples places of worship burnt to the ground ,so glad nobody was hurt.

''Police have also confirmed that graffiti reading "EDL" – which may stand for English Defence League, a far right group – was found at the building, while neighbours reported hearing a loud explosion in the early hours of Wednesday morning.''

There's no smoke without fire.... pun intended.

There is frequently smoke without fire. And it's a dangerous assumption to make that there is not.

Well we shall wait and see what the investigators have to say shall we?

When I wrote my posts I was referring to the article in the OP. The one you said it would help if people read properly. Nowhere in that article did it say the EDL was responsible nor was there any actual evidence that the fire was started deliberately. Yet everyone immediately jumped on the bandwaggon as usual. Once there is evidence it's a different matter, and it appears that now there is actual evidence and it is not longer just a story about a fire.

It saddens me that odious crimes and racism are made so much more unpleasant by people assuming. It's a dangerous thing to do.

When I commented I had already read an article and could comment with some confidence on the outline of the facts here.
