Police officer defends Christian preacher in Whitechapel

But forget about the stamping bit for a second. The man with the flag didn't do that.

If that man had just been holding the union jack and shouting Allah Akbar at right wing protestors, would you find that offensive.
Yes....

Why does he need to be covered up like an Hamas terrorist?

Why did he let the flag get stamped on?

He wasn't holding it in praise of the flag!!!! Wake up and see what is going on for goodness sake!!!!
 
I'm just asking people to open their minds a bit more, like I did.

I have found out that normally, when a Muslim holds a Union Jack and shouts Allah Akbar, he is reclaiming British patriotism from the far right. So, that it is my starting point. In this case, there seems to be a mixed message.

Is this man even a Muslim.

He makes a peace sign when asked for a photograph.

Is it all a bit of performance art.
Nobody is saying there are no Patriotic Muslims who celebrate the UK by waiving a Union flag.

However, your conclusion that the guy on the bike with his seat set too low, was such a person, shows how daft you are.

Typical stupid straw man.

Because I am open minded, I have done my research and found out that Muslims who hold the Union Jack and shout Allah Akbar at right wing marchers are doing it to show that you can be both patriotic and Muslim. That is my starting point. It makes sense if you take a moment to think about it. Do you accept this basic point.

As I have said several times already, what is going on in this particular instance is more confusing.
 
I am just trying to be objective and not jump to conclusions. See my post #95 above. I have actually done a bit of research.

That will be what it is, then.

The version of "patriotism" which festers in the minds of Koolpc and his coterie cannot withstand contact with objectivity, not jumping to conclusions, and doing research.

That's why they never do any of those things.

Perhaps if you said you were playing Devil's advocate and exploring a slim possibility... Nobody would have jumped on you the way they did.

Why did he allow the man with the walking stick to trample the flag? The intent was to disrespect it.
 
It is reserved for the Royal Navy. I don't think MBK has a destroyer,
or a Jackstaff, given we have Forestays.

I used to fly a Union Jack on the starboard yardarm of my greek flagged boat. Mostly to annoy flag anoraks

fun fact - If the head of state is visiting its allowed.
