This story just about sums up the ridiculous state of our country with regard to the rise of Islamic extremism, not least because of the dhimmi appeasing mindset of our government. Needless to say, the BBC helps create the mindset to bring it all about.
While in this article Raheem Kassam writes of how the BBC moves quickly to defend a man displaying an ISIS flag near Big Ben, he also writes another to show that while the police did nothing in this instance, they were quick to arrest a man for quoting Churchill.
ISIS FLAG OUTSIDE BIG BEN? FINE. QUOTING CHURCHILL IN ENGLAND? ARREST HIM!

BBC JUMPS TO DEFEND MAN WITH ISIS FLAG, AND FECKLESS POLICE WHO FAILED TO ARREST HIM
by RAHEEM KASSAM
The BBC has waded into the row over a man carrying an Islamic State flag outside Big Ben, in a broadly uninformative article which seeks to excuse the man carrying the flag of ISIS on London’s streets.
Contributing nothing more to the debate than what was included in the original reporting on the matter, the BBC has sought to explain to Twitter users and others bemoaning the inaction by UK police why exactly the man was not arrested or detained.
But the explanations about the Public Order Act and Terrorism Act have been included in every news media report about the incident thus far – making it seem like the BBC is simply acting to excuse the behaviour, and perhaps indeed excuse support for ISIS.
The article entitled “Why this man wrapped in an ‘Islamic State’ flag was not arrested in central London” says:
But if wearing an ISIS flag doesn’t show support for the terrorist organisation, what does? Would the man, for instance, have to start gunning people down in the street while screaming “Allah hu Akbar” before the BBC felt anything should be done?

The man wasn’t arrested. Here’s why.
Wearing, carrying or displaying an emblem or flag – even an IS flag – isn’t, by itself, an offence.
Police say the flag would need to be used in a way which meant a person was suspected of being a supporter or member of a banned group, such as IS.
