At the risk of rising to your obvious bait I will quickly answer your question, line by line.
�Instead of labelling the Muslim protesters as extremists, shouldn't we try to address their genuine concerns?� - 50,000 leaflets were distributed in the Muslim community urging them to demonstrate against the troops. Approximately 20 turned up. I would say that makes them 'extremists' seeing as they seem to be at the extremes of public opinion.
�They're obviously not happy with life in the UK and must find a lot of the customs and practices a bit alien to them.� - Leave then. No one's keeping anyone in Britain against their will. If you don't like it here, go somewhere else that is more in tune with your world view.
�Islam is a peaceful and gentle religion and should be welcomed as another addition to the cultural mix.� - This is simply untrue. Islam is neither gentle nor peaceful. Islam is rotten to the core because it's founder, Mohammed, was rotten to the core. Is sex with 9 year old girls is okay? In Islam it is because Mohammed did just that. Beating women for no particular reason? Fine and dandy. Killing people because they choose to not to believe in Allah? Totally reasonable and spiritually rewarded in Islam. The list of abhorrent practices in Islam goes on and on and on.
�I'm not surprised that they are upset at a Christian army killing their brothers� - The British army is not a Christian army. It is made up of a group of individuals who all hold different beliefs. Some will be Christians. Some will be be agnostics. Some atheists. Some will be Muslims. Some will be.... etc, etc.
�Live and let live.� - If these particular Muslims believed in that sentiment, this situation would never have occurred.
