Six men arrested after Koran burnt on 9/11

SIX suspects were arrested after filming themselves burning a copy of the Koran on the anniversary of 9/11.
Their faces hidden by masks, they allegedly torched the Muslim holy book in the backyard of a pub.
Now six men have been arrested after a video of the burning was posted on a social networking internet site.
In the film, which was still available on YouTube today, a gang are seen gathered round a copy of the Koran in the backyard of The Bugle pub in Leam Lane, Felling, Gateshead.
Appearing with what seems to be tea towels wrapped around their heads, the men show the holy book to the camera before dousing it with fuel from a red can and lighting it.
One man in a grey Adidas tracksuit and white trainers, who has a blue cloth wrapped around his head as a burka-style mask, makes a series of obscene gestures towards the book as it burns.
Laughing, the tracksuited gang shouts “This is for the boys in Afghanistan. September 11, international burn a Koran day, for all the people of 9/11.
“This is how we do it in Gateshead, right.”
One man then attempts to add more fuel, but instead sets the plastic petrol can on fire. He then kicks the book across the yard, leaving a trail of flames which he is forced to hastily stamp out.
Police visited The Bugle last Wednesday after the video was posted online.
Two men were arrested on suspicion of stirring racial hated, and have since been released on bail.
Yesterday, four more Gateshead men were arrested and bailed. None were charged.

A barman at the Bugle, who refused to give his name, said: “I had nothing to do with the fire. I smelt the smoke so I went outside to put it out.
“The police came to the pub and searched it. We were closed for hours.
“They took my mobile phones, some empty boxes the phones had been in, some CDs and DVDs, and all the tea towels.
“They arrested me and another man and took us to the station. They were asking questions about who had been burning the book.”
He claimed the pub has been targeted by the police because some customers had links to the English Defence League, a far-right movement which protests against “Muslim extremism”.
Around 30 men, mounted a three-hour peaceful protest outside Gateshead Police Station after the initial arrests were made.
In a joint statement, Northumbria Police and Gateshead Council condemned the book burning.
“The kind of behaviour displayed in this video is not at all representative of our community as a whole,” said the spokesman.
“Our community is one of mutual respect and we continue to work together with community leaders, residents and people of all faiths and beliefs to maintain good community relations.”
Police confirmed the arrests were in relation to burning the book, not for making, distributing or watching the video.
“On Wednesday, September 22, four men from Gateshead were arrested on suspicion of stirring racial hatred,” a spokesman said.
“The arrests followed the videotaped burning of what are believed to have been two Korans in Gateshead on September 11.
“Two other men have previously been arrested and bailed in relation to this incident. Enquiries are ongoing.”

I wonder what would have happened if they had burned a Bible?

Nothing at all I should imagine, couldn't imagine them being arrested for it or even the police bothering to get involved.

Nothing, for sure.

Does the piss give the bacon more flavour?

I think the media are demonstrating its moral myopia by criticising the burning of the Koran but not the Muslims who murder because of it.

**mc2** · 24-09-2010, 10:20 AM

jail these idiots, stuff like this leads to the beheading of more american civilians overseas, and recruitment of more terrorirts.

^May I recommend conversion to you, because peace that islam refers to is the peace that will come when the whole world has become moslem. Until then they don't need burning koran's to justify their acts, the mere presence of the kaffer is enough.

There are lots of very good reasons for not burning books in general; but this has to be just about the most pathetic I have come across.

**BobR** · 24-09-2010, 11:46 AM

Britain really is even more screwed up than America. Burning a book there is at least legal. Sadly stupid ideas seem to start in Europe and work their way to America. There is an absolute right to hate anyone you want to hate.

Points out a fundamental difference between the US and UK. Nobody arrested in the US for burning a Koran as far as I know.

Seems to me the UK is moving toward a ridiculous level of political correctness to ensure the "sensitivities" of it's Muslim population are considered above all else.

Wake up UK. The rights of one group's individual freedom does not trump the rights of another.

**machangezi** · 24-09-2010, 12:13 PM

Burning the Quran adds fuel to fires. I know someone would say hey this is what we call "freedom of speech". Agreed. It's a freedom of speech or whatever you call it. This free speech may very well give aid to Talibans. More recruitments, more beheadings and more suicide bombings.

You summed it up, right here.

UK laws are definitely different in this regard. Canada also, I believe.

**Butterfly** · 24-09-2010, 12:25 PM

I am sure if someone would burn the "Tora", there wouldn't be any persecution ?

Of course it does. Not suggesting it's a brilliant move but arresting someone for a dumb but legal act is not on.

If the 'Koran burning' wasn't even conceived, do you suppose fewer Americans would be killed? Allah's Finest need no reason to murder, and the US foreign policy or some other real or perceived outrage works just as well.

Or do you think they are standing by patiently for a Koran to be burned to give them reason to murder for their god?

Not totally sure about Canada, but it is definitely bent on protecting the new immigrant sh*t.

Koran burning will, rest assured, increase the number of casualties. It is likely that innocent Christians in the south Asia and middle east would be persecuted.

Is it all worth it?

Sexually repressed desperados do not join the Taliban because of a Koran burning. They join because they are sexually repressed and the plague of Islam makes them believe its dysfunctional god will give them an eternal fcukfest, so if it wasn't the Koran burning it would be something else.

I doubt they know that by joining the Taliban they will have individuals on www boards blaming the Koran burning for pushing these peaceloving farmers over the edge.

But guilt and fear tend to work wonders when properly wielded against civilised infidels, don't they, Macha!

Muslims persecute Christians in muslim countries on a regular basis.

Worth it? Is it worth it to not expose the violent cultish book the koran is?

**machangezi** · 24-09-2010, 12:57 PM

You really need to polish up your knowledge about Islam. You don't hesitate painting 1.7 billion people with the same brush. Ignorance on your part, Keda.

Yeah, go on, do your worst! "Innocent Christians" in south Asia and the ME are already being persecuted, and have been persecuted for never mind decades but centuries.

Are you suggesting that the persecution of "innocent Christians" in those regions next week or next month, will be because of the Koran burning?

So if Muslims are persecuting Christians, you'll put all the blame on the Koran? Ever read the Koran?

In this case the English authorities are going completely overboard, it would be almost funny if it was not so serious, important principles of freedom is under attack by the hysterical Islamists, criminal threat's of murder and mayhem is successful in making Authorities shake with fear and submit to alien demands restricting our traditional freedom rights.

Arresting people for burning their own property in form of a book based solely on a fantasy, and thus pressurising a whole population to take the fantastic lie seriously like as if it represent's any truth at-all, is an incredible turn, giving legitimacy to a crazy invented story and it's just as crazy followers.

Apart from that the thing with stupid ideas coming mostly from Europe is a monumental stretch of the truth, most bad influences is coming from American culture or lack of same, and it has been like that for many many years, Woodstock the happy drug sixties with Timothy Leary, cocaine use/abuse as a recreational drug for the rich and famous, movie stars and famous musicians, sports stars and the hip and the smart, caps backwards on the head, gang culture spreading worldwide originating in US ethnic slums, baggy pants hanging down the ass, hip hop and gangsta rap, ensnaring young all over the world to emulate US slum lifestyle and anti social behaviour, sub-primes and unscrupulous financial speculation, a rotten to the core business culture where everything goes, and good high morals have become a ridiculous quaint old-fashioned notion entertained only by losers, fvucking Valentines day ect. ect. I could go on for ages.
