the irony of behaving just like thos idiots that burnt the poppy 
An imam in Portsmouth has said he is saddened his mosque has been targeted twice in two days after remembrance poppies were burnt in London.
A poppy was painted on the front of the Jami mosque, on Victoria Road North in Southsea, on Friday and on Saturday 100 people staged a demonstration outside.
Hampshire police said there had been no arrests but that they would continue to monitor the situation.
Muhammad Muhi Uddin said he condemned Thursday's poppy burning.
He told the BBC he was mystified as to why his mosque had been targeted.
Mr Muhi Uddin said: "It deeply hurts me.
"If they talked to us then we would explain where we stand.
'Matter of respect'
"They have the right to remember them [those killed in war] in your own way and we have the right to remember them in our own way and we shouldn't interfere with each other's [ways].
"In this way we can live in a society in harmony.
"It's a matter of respecting each other, it's not a matter of religion. In a society, whether we're Christian or Muslims, we should respect each other."
The Portsmouth protest was a reaction to Islamic group Muslims Against Crusades burning poppies in Kensington, west London, during a two-minute silence on Thursday to mark the anniversary of Armistice Day.
As the clock struck 1100 GMT, they burned a model of a poppy and chanted "British soldiers burn in hell".
About 50 men linked to the English Defence League (EDL) staged a counter protest but the groups were kept separate by police.
Two Muslim protesters were arrested for public order offences and the founder of the EDL was charged with assaulting a police officer.

no she didn't. She said multiculturism has failed. But then went on to say that germany welcomed immigrants. So in brief she pandered to the general xenophobia which is the natural result during economic difficulties, whilst also not attacking immigrants per se.
And it is entire bullsh1t because if yu had travelled germany you will see that multicutralism is working. It just takes new immigrants time to settle in, as the turkish have. Makes me laugh that she says this a few days after visiting the german national football team which is made up of over 50% children of immigrants |
