If they are so loyal to their family in Pakistan then perhaps they should go back there and save us the cost of locking them up for the next 20 years.

Perhaps their sentence is too 'Westernised', maybe stoning would be more appropriate? I hope your time in jail is a living hell !

Evil parents, I hope they go to prison for a long time. Thank goodness mine were not from this sort of culture. I wouldn't wish parents like this on my worst enemy.

So this guy is racist but Mulims burning poppies and shouting at dead soldiers coffins are "protesting"

I'm not condoning the former soldier's behaviour at all. Before you label him as a "racist" please give some thought to what this man has been through recently. Shot at, blown up, friends blown to pieces and killed…… "A racist" is a very quick, easy and predictable label. My grandfather wasn't so keen on Germans. Nor was he keen on the Japanese (or the French). Was he a racist too??

But despite some progress, women's rights in Saudi Arabia are still defined by Islam and lack basic freedoms found in many Western cultures.

Muslim Brotherhood has 'started crucifying opponents of new President', claims website

Evidence? None.

A threat to ethnic purity; betrayal by corrupt elites; the presence of a foreign invader – these are familiar themes for the far right. But the ideology of the “counter-jihad” movement marks a shift from neo-Nazism, whose followers believe above all in the international Jewish conspiracy – and that immigration is a Jewish-led plot to dilute European racial stock.

The difference here is that Breivik’s themes have widespread mainstream credibility. Islamophobia is rampant across western Europe, while Britain’s press leads the field with its drip-feed of anti-Muslim coverage.

Even the idea of “cultural Marxism” has found its way into the mainstream, dovetailing with right-wing ideologues who would have us believe that liberal elites have foisted their agenda on an unwilling population. In the US, it was promoted by the likes of the late commentator Andrew Breitbart, while here it has been echoed by conservatives. Last September, the writer James Delingpole claimed that the BBC had fallen victim to a Marxist “plan to destroy western civilisation from within”. Earlier this month, a Daily Mail blogger even suggested that the New Statesman’s founders, Beatrice and Sidney Webb, were dedicated to the “destruction of traditional western civilisation” and that the London School of Economics, which they also founded, was a nest of Frankfurt-style subversion.
