On Tuesday, Dave Smith, a London Twitter user, noticed an unusual black flag flying at Will Crooks estate on Poplar High Street, near Canary Wharf, London.

At the entrance to the public housing complex, between a Palestinian flag and signs supporting Gaza (not unusual sights in London), was a black flag with Arabic writing on it. This flag bore a remarkable similarity to those used by the Islamic State, the extremist militia currently causing chaos in Iraq, which you can see below. Could a jihadist flag be flying in Britain?

On Wednesday evening, Rajeev Syal, a reporter from the Guardian, headed to the estate to investigate. "A group of about 20 Asian youths swore at Guardian journalists and told them to leave the area immediately," Syal reports. "One youth threatened to smash a camera." When someone asked whether the flag was that of the Islamic State, Syal reports that one local man responded: "So what if it is?"

Another journalist, Ted Jeory, suffered worse abuse when he visited the site. “F*** off Jews. We don’t want Jews here, f***k off Jews," Jeory, who isn't Jewish, recalls hearing as he was threatened by a crowd of teenagers.

The flag's appearance caused a stir in the United Kingdom. Michael Fallon,British defense secretary, said: "That is extremely inappropriate when British lives are at risk, particularly in terms of terrorism from the jihad." According to London's Evening Standard newspaper, the flag was later removed by a local nun.

There's nothing illegal about flying this flag, but the British seem especially worried. The country, which has a large Islamic minority, tends to be sympathetic to the Palestinian cause – one prominent politician resigned over the Gaza crisis this week. At the same time, it has reason to be concerned about Islamist groups like the Islamic State. One report from 2013 suggested that about 400 British citizens had gone to Syria to fight. Many are concerned that they may bring back extremist attitudes and pose a terror risk.

In reality, the Islamic State is no friend of Palestinian militant groups such as Hamas. The group, however, has been able to brand itself as the face of global Islamist resistance, edging out more established names like al-Qaeda in the process. It's a reminder of why many people in Europe and the United States find the Islamic State so scary, even when they are far away.

This is what happens when you have to much free time

 

[iajj]

the Palestinians who endured occupation, repression and genocide don't even get to articulate the pain and curse in the form of the jew state that afflicts them? that liberal-conservative intolerance of intolerance shit ultimately leaves no space for justice for those who have suffered the insufferable and is therefore nothing more or other than a dirty jew trick.

People like you who confuse Israeli government policies with Jews and make anti-semetic rants make it very difficult for people who sympathise with the Palestinian people to support the Palestinian cause.

With friends like you, the Palestinians don't actually need enemies.

and Palestinians don't need cheap friends who offer only sympathy. Palestinians don't need liberal-conservatives in Europe or north America or some yindoo intellectual slaves of anglosaxons to offer more of this friendship. the resistance to occupation needs allies who can see through the utter incompatibility of justice and jewry and are willing to propose anew a final solution that can restore the supremacy of moral right.

You make it sound like he's the obstacle preventing you from sympathizing with the Palestinians. If you actually had any sympathy one person on the internet wouldn't get in your way. I don't think anyone gives a shit if it's anti-Jewish or not. Considering the millions of anti-Muslim rants that are accepted as normal part of life.

Why has the whole world become anti Muslim?That too to a point no non Muslim country gives a hoot about hundreds of innocent civilians deaths in gaza.Why don't you people for once introspect?You people have no qualms in calling non Muslims kafirs and hell dwellers.You people want segregate yourself wherever you go by flaunting your religious symbols.you people don't want to eat meat in a non Muslim house saying its not halal.You people are a big tank of conspiracy theories who think that the whole world is after Muslims to destroy them.You create disharmony in society wherever you go.Tell me one country,only one country where Muslims are being a big minority and existing peacefully with non Muslims.India,US,China,russia and even peaceful Buddhist countries like Myanmar,srilanka and Thailand started feeling the heat of Islamic extremism.You can't expect to be treated nicely when you yourself don't treat others in that way

No one is excusing many Muslims from anything, just as you shouldn't excuse the extreme right wing of Jewish people.

Your rant is pointless though. We want to 'segregate' ourselves? Every individual in the West chooses how to live their social life on their own. Also, Jewish and Christian people prefer Kosher meat as well. In the US the meat is considering from the people of the book and is approved to eat by scholars. I don't care about Asia, not interested in it or it's internal affairs so there's no point in asking me about that.

Good for you.Live with this mentality but don't cry when others ignore your plight

Flying the flag of ISIS in Europe is like declaring war.At war enemies are shot.

What is the difference between Hindus not eating meat as they are vegetarian and Muslims only wanting to eat Halal meat?

Stop being such a bigot!

Then why do you care about Palestine? Is it not in Asia?

 

[UKBengali]

Because a Hindu choosing not to eat meat does not impact on others.

Whereas British people now are forced to eat Halal meat.

Are Muslims forcing this or is it the retailers?

You are an anti-Muslim bigot.

Because your cow told me to do so.

The guy has had around 100 different accounts now. I actually thought he was an Israeli in the beginning and then he admitted to being Indian.

Palestine does not need non Muslim (eg Indians) to stand with them. They need their 'own'. This is not the socialist Palestine of the 60s and early 70s. Every Jew be it in Israel or England is a Zionist and a legitimate target. Hell, they target the very same Government on whose doleouts they survive and you expect them to show humane feelings for the Jews? Naive.
