COMING TO A LIBERAL, UNDERSTANDING CITY NEAR YOU – AT 8:06 P.M. ET:  This has happened in Britain before, and should be a warning to us.  But the people who allow this kind of thing to happen don't care:

Screaming hate and brandishing vile placards, Muslim extremists and far-Right groups clashed yesterday in ugly scenes that marred a parade by soldiers.

Around 40 members of a group called Muslims Against the Crusades (MAC) arrived with inflammatory banners featuring slogans such as 'Butchers return' and 'What are you dying for? £18k'.

They were soon confronted by 100 people, some wearing English Defence League T-shirts, who shouted 'scum' and 'Muslim bombers off our streets'.

Police, who had received intelligence warning of trouble at the march in Barking, Essex, separated the groups behind barriers on opposite sides of the road.

But violence flared after 200 soldiers from 1st Battalion Royal Anglian Regiment - who lost five men in a recent tour of Afghanistan and had been granted freedom of the borough - marched past thousands of well-wishers.

MAC supporters shouted slogans such as 'murderers, murderers' and 'British troops go to hell', while the mainly white crowd opposite, some of whom are believed to have been BNP supporters, threw frozen pork sausages and chanted 'scum' and 'Allah, Allah, who the f*** is Allah?'

COMMENT:  Well, neither side behaved well, but I'd point out that the Muslim extremists are welcomed into Britain by British immigration policy.  Why?

The other nuts are commonplace and can be dealt with by the police.

We recall the horrible welcome accorded some American troops when they returned from their noble effort in Vietnam.  It can happen again.
