UK: Met Allows Islamic Protesters to Throw Shoes

Met allows Islamic protesters to throw shoes
Protesters throw shoes at a placard of Barack Obama in Jakarta, Indonesia

SCOTLAND YARD has bowed to Islamic sensitivities and accepted that Muslims are entitled to throw shoes in ritual protest — which could have the unintended consequence of politicians or the police being hit.
News of the concession by the Metropolitan police has come to light amid a series of trials of more than 70 mostly Muslim demonstrators who were charged with violent disorder after last year’s Gaza protests outside the Israeli embassy in London.
Aquib Salim, 21, an IT student at Queen Mary, London University, who was involved in a shoe-throwing incident, is almost certain to avoid a prison sentence as a result.
Chris Holt, Salim’s solicitor, said he was likely to get a suspended sentence after he pleaded guilty to a single charge of throwing a stick at police lines.

There seems to be a whole different set of rules for Islamics. No one wants to rub them the wrong way. Next they will be able to cut peoples heads off if they get angry about something.
