    Justice is blind or just downright political

    I still have to disagree about the 'mob' thing ..... to me at least, a mob is a crowd of angry ppl at the gates as it were. As far as I am aware this single incident, involving a single person, is the only backlash of the 'poppy' incident. In all honesty I think the soldier will be applauded...

    Justice is blind or just downright political

    Yes you are correct, we don't quite see it like that. Granted there was vandalism on the side of the soldier but we see both actions as insults, with an unfair verdict in favour of the Mosque. A verdict just to keep the peace? :rolleyes:

    Justice is blind or just downright political

    Granted that this happened in the UK, but I know that the same sort of thing has happened here Compare and contrast Burn Remembrance poppies, and shout 'British soldiers burn in hell' - fine of £50 plus £15 costs. Write Allah on a pigs head, stick it outside a mosque, write 'Rag Heads...
