MailOnline understands the pair had tweeted using inflammatory
language and were trying to organise an anti-Muslim protest in Bristol
following the execution of Drummer Lee Rigby, 25, in Woolwich two days
ago.

Complaints were made to Avon and Somerset Police about remarks that
appeared on the social networking website, which were of a racist or
anti-religious nature.

Perhaps people will begin to understand just how much the government and media elites are part of the problem. It’s not a question of, how did we get here? It’s more like, it’s amazing it didn’t happen sooner.

The vicious kuffar-hatred and Jew-hatred spewed by Muslims, the calls for jihad — the dhimmi powers say nothing.

Shocking: The Twitter comments come after the attack in London. Police say they do even more harm to the community

A 23-year-old and a
22-year-old, both from Bristol, were held under the Public Order Act on
suspicion of inciting racial or religious hatred.

Detective
Inspector Ed Yaxley, of Avon and Somerset Police, said: ‘On Wednesday
evening, we were contacted by people concerned about comments made on
social media accounts.

We began inquiries into the comments and at around 3.20am two men, aged 23 and 22, were detained at two addresses in Bristol.

‘The
men were arrested under the Public Order Act on suspicion of inciting
racial or religious hatred. Our inquiries into these comments continue.

‘These
comments were directed against a section of our community. Comments
such as these are completely unacceptable and only cause more harm to
our community in Bristol.

‘People
should stop and think about what they say on social media before making
statements as the consequences could be serious.’
