Anti-Muslim plans on facebook results in five arrests.

Arresting people for facebook posts unless its a direct threat seems to be an overreaction. I also doubt being this is the UK if it was reversed with postings by a Muslim group they would have done this much.

FIVE men have been arrested after a Facebook site was set up declaring “all Muslims should be thrown out of Wales”.

Around 150 people joined the group on the social networking site claiming they would march through the Rhondda Valleys to make their feelings known.

The proposed march has been described as “mindless bigotry” by racial equality groups.

But South Wales Police have now stepped in and arrested five men for religiously aggravated public order offences.

It is one of the first occasions people have been arrested over comments posted on Facebook.

The group has also been removed from the site.
