Protecting civilians by violating their human rights, eh.

I think starving a besieged populace is a big no-no in the
Geneva Conventions.
Oh well.
War is Hell.

Lockerbie Bomber, was in the dock
Said he was dying, oh what a shock
Kenny felt sorry, so set him free
Still living for 2 years, might make it 3

Aw Geez, now my post makes no sense because the one
above it about sharia law zones has been modded.

Not entirely wasted jwf.

I love that song. Thanks for reminding.

Hmmm it was interesting to read the Daily Mail (from the above
now hidden article of SWL's) labelling the muslim gentleman and
activist as a "hate-monger". From what was contained in the article
the Daily Mail were not justified in asserting him as a "hate
-monger" and this label was merely the Editors own message.
Looking at the comments received from the article I would say the
Editor was successful in his "message".

As regards the actual stickers themselves - well surely it is just a
sign of multi-culturalism in Britain that the majority of our
politicians tell us we should be proud of?

This is the link to the "Sharia Law" article of the daily mail. It
is also not clear to me of the justification in calling the
particular individual mentioned as an "Islamic Extremist":

But what's all the fuss about?

i see it as a bit of conceptual art.

No-one will take these things *literally* seriously.

I found the response to the following comment (posted on the Daily Mail website) amusing:
"They are only flyers - other flyers say other things, sometimes about other religions."

French parachute in weaponry to Libyan rebels during a military
action. With the French and British and others bombing the
incumbent military forces from the skys, whilst arming the rebels on
the ground, the French and British hope to speed up the regime
change campaign: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-13966976

This French and British intervention (post 11857) has enabled the
rebels to conquer another Libyan town near the Tunisian border and
in the Western Mountains. This supply route town should help NATO
and the rebels in their attempt to isolate and starve out the people
of Tripoli:

So you need to buy Sky Sports to watch the Grand Prix
