Why did the police NOT arrest the Muslim women outside court yesterday?

Question

With the full black uniform [can't spell burka] waving banners screeming "Police burn in hell" being PROTECTED no less by police WOMEN incase someone were to attack THEM.

They were outside the Old Bailey to protest against the sentences given to four Muslim men for encouraging terrorism.
They called for British soldiers to come home in body bags and BOMB, BOMB the U.K.

Answer 1

Because they are muslims???? If they were white british people protesting at muslims or islam we would be in jail right now.

TIME FOR A CHANGE.

Answer 2

Generally, the larger a crowd, the less arrests.

Even in full scale riots with thousands of people, sometimes only a handful of people are arrested and only because they were excessively violent.

So these women were only verbally protesting - trust me, it is not worth the police department's time to arrest someone who is essentially harmless, with the likelihood of a more dangerous group retaliation (in this case, from the angry Muslims). The cops may sometimes look it, but they really aint stupid.

Answer 3

I am not from Britain, but peaceful protest is part of freedom of speech of a democracy . I know your people have been the target of Muslin violence, I only reply as an out side observer and mean no disrespect to any one.

Answer 4

Freedom of speech.

How many of you lot come on here quoting the old "I hate what you are saying, but I defend your right to say it"

Wearing a burka is not illegal.

Carrying a banner is not illegal.

Suggesting that someone burn in hell, is not illegal.

These women are of course silly bints, but that's not illegal either. They are entitled to protest, and provided they stop short of incitement to crime, or slander can say what they want.

All those of you moaning 'one law for us, one law for them' are looking pretty pathetic.

Answer 5

Obviously because they were Muslim women and the Police have instructions not to inflame situations where Muslims are involved. A woman holding a blank placard in a silent protest was arrested using anti terrorist legislation as an excuse, but she was not of the ethnic persuasion.Little old ladies make an easy target to bump up the figures.

Answer 6

There is a difference in hoping that he police burn in hell and shouting kill all the cops. The first is a wish and the police have heard it all before, the second is incitement and is intolerable in any society. I think we should be proud that she can do the former without fear.

Answer 7

The police could not identify them.

I don't think you understand what is happening. The police were there to protect the ladies from unwelcome attention from hetrosexual males under the 'Police- how to waste the taxpayers' money Act (2007).

Even the Government is reporting that the police are wasting our money! So it must be true!

Answer 8

Because they would have been accused of racism/persecution or Islamophobia if they had. You can't say anything against Islam or an Islamic person without being called an Islamophobe but they can attack us all they like.

I resent police time being wasted to protect them though. They should have taken their chances. The police have better things to do than to protect these losers.

Why do they have to resort to such horrible and vile language as "burn in hell"? Why are they so foul? Can't they protest in a peaceable and adult way?

Answer 9

I'm not familiar with the situation (I'm assuming from your name that this happened in England), but I would imagine that people in your country still have the right to protest and exercise free speech.

Answer 10

Freedom of speech, they can protest as much as they want. So if you want to do something about it when they start protesting or saying that have a group ready to say something back, beat them at their own game its legal and as long as you keep it civil and not throw out any insults or foul words. You will manage to shut them up and look more civil since you werent waving any "burn in hell" signs.
