Flames of hate By Luke David, Evening Standard 20 May 2005 Muslim protesters today called for the bombing of New York in a demonstration outside the US embassy in London.
There were threats of "another 9/11" from militants angry at reports of the desecration of the Koran by US troops in Iraq.
Some among the crowd burned an effigy of Tony Blair on a crucifix and then set fire to a Union flag and a Stars and Stripes.
Led by a man on a megaphone, they chanted, "USA watch your back, Osama is coming back" and "Kill, kill USA, kill, kill George Bush". A small detail of police watched as they shouted: "Bomb, bomb New York" and "George Bush, you will pay, with your blood, with your head."
Demonstrators in Grosvenor Square, some with their faces covered with scarves, waved placards which included the message: "Desecrate today and see another 9/11 tomorrow."
The protest was organised by groups including the Muslim Council for Britain and the Muslim Parliamentary Association of the UK. Their protest follows fury in the Islamic world over the claims in a Newsweek magazine that US soldiers at Guantanamo Bay had abused the Koran.
The magazine later withdrew the article and apologised but not before it triggered riots in Afghanistan in which 17 people died and 100 people were injured.
Former Guantanamo Bay detainee Martin Mubanga told the crowd he had seen a copy of the Koran "desecrated" during his time at Camp Delta.
He said: "This was one of the methods they used, throwing the Koran, my Koran, on the floor in my cell."
One of the protesters called for the release of radical Muslim cleric Abu Hamza. He shouted: "Your so-called democracy will fall under the sword of Allah. The day of judgment is coming."
The demonstration coincided with protests across the world. On the West Bank 2,500 Palestinians streamed out of mosques shouting "Death to America". In Calcutta, India, protesters burned, spat and urinated on the US flag. And in Somalia thousands chanted anti-US slogans.
I am on the verge of doing the same. I've about had it with them.
In London - as uncivilized as Kabul.
Yikes!
Next july I will come ti NY. And I'm not afraid. We will never surrender.
Muslims so cherish their holy book that they wouldn't desecrate it by actually reading it.
Death squads are not always a bad thing.
Led by a man on a megaphone, they chanted, "USA watch your back, Osama is coming back" and "Kill, kill USA, kill, kill George Bush". A small detail of police watched as they shouted: "Bomb, bomb New York" and "George Bush, you will pay, with your blood, with your head."
Level Mecca.
The Muslims behavior just solidifies my intolerance of them.
Sorry, but I DO lump them all together if they don't come out against this crap.
Moderate Muslim= Oxymoron
I'm going to buy one and as I walk out of the store tell them I'm using it for litter box liner. Uncivilized savages. Uncivilzed, savage cult.
These neanderthals can't handle modernity. Gonna be a lot of dead muslims before they straighten up and fly right.
Osama can't even arrange a date with a goat right now. He's damn lucky to save his own ass these days much less conduct a terror strike.
Sorry gang, ran a search and didn't find it.
LOL Thats okay - it was posted under a totally different title too from the same news source. Looks like "This is London" is changing their title and putting it back. Afraid of not being PC I'm guessing.
I say we just blow the f---ers up.
Like we care.
My boss just asked me why I was turning deep red. I need to avoid the news while I'm working!!!
They can burn our flag and desecrate our leaders but we're not allowed to touch their koran?
I know - Sometimes I get sooo riled up too. They have been burning our flags for a long time now and it seems to fall like a dud on the American people. I have never seen Americans burn the flag of another nation (especially a Muslim nation). I would love to see that happen.
