Luton woman has run-in with muslims during protest

First topic message reminder :

Saw this posted on another site, not an English one, and they were all pretty shocked that this was the UK. It certainly made me mad

Tom! our own Rosa Klebb posted a carefully cut segment from this report, naturally it showed a small minority of Muslims chanting abuse and going on one.

However!!! The bit unser kleine Fuhrerin forgot to include, misplaced, or perhaps even edit out of this report showed the MAJORITY of Muslims just getting on with their lives!

So what's your suggestion for dealing with the vile parasites in the clip (and it wasn't just a few)

Firstly, I didn't post a cut segment from anything, I haven't seem any report, I got this from You Tube just as it is.

Secondly, Phil was always calling me Rosa Klebb. What a coincidence.

Not a coincidence simply an observation and if Rosa Klebb's shoes are a comfortable fit, you'll no doubt wear them!

See the report in full and then you'll get Stacey Dooleys views in full!

No I meant breeding like 'RATS' - Vermin.

A beautiful English rose!

Making a documentary about my hometown was always going to be the most difficult topic I had ever covered! No question. I have made documentaries about sex trafficking in Cambodia and child soldiers in the Democratic Republic of Congo, but making a programme about Luton was different - it was personal.

I was born in Luton, I grew up in Luton and all my family and friends are still there. Luton is home for me.

It's been given a rough old time in the press. It is rumoured to have a fanatical few who are determined to use Islam as an excuse to justify some of their extreme beliefs and views.

This tiny minority used to be known locally to us as The Al-Muhajiroun, or the AMs. They were banned in 2010 under the UK Terrorism Act. My personal opinion is that these people do not represent what I understand Islam to be - at all.

I never really had an opinion about the Al Muhajiroun, I didn't really know enough about them. The only time I took real notice of them was when the troops were marching through the town and everyone had gathered to welcome them home.

The AMs showed up with banners, stating that the soldiers were 'baby rapists' and 'murderers'. They spat on some of the soldiers. Lots of Lutonians saw red, believing this was a step too far, and that day it all really kicked off. Police were everywhere. It wasn't a great day to be from Luton.

As a result, the EDL, (The English Defence League) formed.

I knew that extremism in Luton was a really important issue to try and cover, even though it could be very awkward for me at times! I've had people stopping me in the Arndale, telling me I've put Luton in the media again for negative reasons. I've had people from the EDL asking me where my head scarf is and people from the AMs asking me why I don't go find a boyfriend from the EDL - but I stand by the reasons why I decided to make the documentary, and I'm pleased I did.

I've learnt that whether we like to admit it or not, there are real issues that need addressing; there are people who aren't willing to see the other side, who believe their fanatical views are the only way forward. But it's also true that there are so, so, so many Lutonians - white, Asian, Muslim, Non-Muslim - who want to live peacefully. Together.

I think this is the full version:

No. But it does look fairly recent...filmed this year I think.
