He could have been fined up to £1000 for public order. You obviously haven't a clue how it works....

£50 fine plus £15 victim surcharge is called getting off lightly.

It is indeed.

Still doesn't warrant a custodial sentence, which is what you're implying.
 
f***ing terrible that. Burning a storybook is worse than burning a symbol of our war dead? dont f***ing think so! :evil:

It wasn't a case of one being worse than the other. The lad who burned the Koran got 70 days because he had previous convictions whereas the lad who burned the poppy didn't.

Had the conviction been the other way around then the sentences would have likely been the other way around too.

Well the reason this ex squaddie burnt the Koran was all due to the Muslim poppy burners...

The theft part is obviously wrong - but who in the right mind would pay for a Koran.

Two wrongs and all that. Had the 'ex squaddie' not had previous convictions it is unlikely he would have got anymore than a fine too.

It is getting off lightly - agreed. But that is because we let ALL criminals off too lightly in this country, not just muslim criminals.

But had the Koran burner a) bought the Koran and b) not had any convictions he would have likely been given a similar punishment.
 
Is this a new discussion or the usual?

Is it worth catching up on from the beginning?

Have you ever been in a discussion on the SMB which has included a reference to Islam at some point?

If you have, I'd say "nothing to see here" tbh

Nobody else seems to have bothered.;)

For a bit of balance.
Seven men accused of burning a copy of the Koran in a Gateshead pub car park will face no further action.

The men were detained in September after a video appeared on the internet.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said there was not sufficient evidence for a realistic chance of conviction.

It said it had looked at a number of areas for possible prosecution but there was insufficient evidence. However, if any new evidence came to light it would be looked at, it said.

Northumbria Chief Crown Prosecutor Wendy Williams said: "This was a serious incident which the vast majority people will rightly find repugnant.

No identity

"However, no matter how unacceptable people may find such behaviour, we can only prosecute if there is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction."

The CPS said it could not identify who had recorded and posted the video online, there was no evidence threatening behaviour was used and there was no evidence anyone present was upset by what they saw.
She said: "For these reasons we have decided that no-one should be prosecuted for an offence arising out of this incident, based on the evidence provided to us.

"If any further evidence comes to light and is sent to us, we will look at it.

"I must stress that our policy is to prosecute racist and religious crime fairly, firmly and robustly, but this can be done only in cases where there is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction."

While we air our grievances through debate...the Muslims take to the streets and kill innocent people.

A few crack pot muslim extremists take to the streets and kill innocent people (when was the last time this happened?)

The west is far more civilised, we have elected a government to murder innocent Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan on a far more efficient way....Bombs on buses and tube trains once in our entire nations history? Fuck that lets spend billions on planes and a huge army then we can kill them every single day for a decade :cool:

Pretty sure you advocate us taking to the streets though and cracking extrmeist heads though, no? In which case you're obviously just jealous that those muslims thought of it first.

You should be thankful that we have the bigger guns.
