I... still don't see what the problem is, except that you guys don't agree with him politically. Is this how people in Britain always react when they lose an election?
Regardless, the mayoral election result with the Local election result is probably to do with people being sick with New Labour, as Twinkle suggested.
Judging by the rest of the results, we are all sick of New Labour.
And the BNP and Green parties.

They did? I didn't hear. Hmm. Interesting. Some parties aren't ever going to happen (What was that one? Christian choice or something?) because it's so multicultural here.

Actually, I'm pretty sure the "Radical Muslims" are hating on our continued support of Terrorists (We supplied Al-Qaeda those weapons, for starters) our ties with the Saudi family and our exploitation of the middle east and third world nations.
Know why?
They keep saying that, and frankly, I believe the statement.

What's so scary about that? He's merely saying what everyone is thinking about the Islamic church, albeit in a particularly blunt way. Islamic doctrine is being used to justify horrific acts, and none of their leadership is willing to stand up and repudiate the extremists. Johnson's statement is controversial, to be sure--but the only reason you find it frightening is that you've been fed the same politically correct slop I and every other American has been subject to since 9/11 about how Islam is a peaceful religion and the terrorists hate us for our freedom/wealth/whatever.
Let me be absolutely clear: I have no problem with most Muslims. On the contrary, I have a great amount of respect for their faith and devotion. Islam is not an easy religion to be a part of, partly because of the many requirements for its adherents (Rammadan [sp?], the Hajj, etc.) and partly because of the way the extremists reflect on adherents who aren't suicide bombers. My problem is with the clerics who continue to allow, or worse, encourage, said extremists to blow themselves up in the name of their religion. When Johnson says Islam needs to "get 18th century," he means the Muslim world needs to wake up and purge those radical elements from its ranks, like so many other religions have.
As an aside, Islam also needs to rid itself of sharia law that suggests the death penalty for anyone who leaves the church of Islam. Orson Scott Card, author of Ender's Game, wrote an excellent piece about that here.

That's not a swastika - it looks like a windmill or something, but definately not a swastika...
