Chloe says "The Muslims who took to the streets over the weekend, however, acted in ways which suggest they believe they are in a sense excluded from the political process".

What utter rubbish. What they were saying is they refuse to comply with our laws, standards & attitudes. Obviously it is not a matter of being excluded, but of wanting to dictate to us how we must live.

This piece is one of the best arguments I have seen for a major reduction in academia funding. If this is what we get by funding these fools, it is time to defund them, & let them find a job.

Who knows, with a bit of experience in the real world, even the Chloes of this world might become rational.

Hi Chloe, Infidel here. Did we witness the same protest last weekend? Judging by the gulf between our views (I wrote for OLO on Tuesday), one would think not. Rather than second the majority of views posted to date, may I make one suggestion: before you pen another article please read While Europe Slept by Bruce Bawer. You'll be surprised how the facts will conflict with your opinion.

OUR Riots?\

Fully sick, mate!

Hasbeen,

Yes, the article seems remarkably naive.

Johnathan J Ariel,

It's the kind of article someone writes when wearing very large multi-culti blinkers.

Guys wearing "Sixth Pillar" T-shirts are making a political statement, Islam is a religion, political system, moral code and chivalric military doctrine all rolled into one, everything these guys do is political at the same time as being a religious and chivalric act, they don't need anything from Liberal democracy.
Call it a guy thing, I know exactly where they're coming from, their actions are perfectly comprehensible to a political soldier, not so easily understood by, well...a girl.
