Call for Holy War at London Demo (ROP Demands for "Killing of Newspaper Editors, Broadcasters")
TimesOnline ^ | 02/04/2006 | Steve Bird and Daniel McGrory

MUSLIM protesters threatened more terrorist attacks as they converged in their hundreds outside the Danish Embassy in London yesterday for what organisers said was the start of a new holy war in Britain. Parading banners that called for the killing of newspaper editors and broadcasters from the BBC who showed cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, they marched across the capital from the mosque in Regent’s Park after Friday prayers.

There were sporadic clashes with passers-by over chants praising the four British-born suicide bombers who killed 52 passengers on three Underground trains and a London bus last July 7.

People who tried to snatch away what they regarded as offending placards were held back by police. Several members of the public tackled senior police officers guarding the protesters, demanding to know why they allowed banners that praised the “Magnificent 19” — the terrorists who hijacked the aircrafts used on September 11, 2001 — and others threatening further attacks on London.

The officers said that their role was to ensure public order and safety. Police had closed off main roads to allow the procession a clear route. Protesters screamed: “UK, you must pray — 7/7 is on its way.”

Organisers of the protest insisted that there would be more rallies over the weekend and predicted that British Muslims would lead the backlash against those mocking Islam.

The start of their campaign was in the heart of London’s most exclusive shopping enclave, where the Danish Embassy is squeezed between some of the most expensive designer stores in the capital. Banners made references to the British suicide bombers with slogans such as: “Europe, you will pay. Fantastic 4 are on their way.”

Anjem Choudary, one of the organisers, refused to condemn threats of another series of bombings on Britain. He said: “The fact is 7/7 was brought upon the people of London by the foreign policy of Tony Blair. He violated the sanctity of Muslims. He violated the covenant of security.

“If Muslims don’t feel safe and think they will be subject to arrest or deportation, if their houses are going to be raided, then there will be repercussions. There’s no reason why there will not be another suicide bombing.”

Penned in Sloane Street outside the Danish Embassy in the biting cold, the protesters vented their anger, but police said that the protest produced no arrests.

Sounds like reasonable demands. Why not, afterall it was the editors fault for printing it. They deserve it, right?

The world-wide muslim attack on media may work to the favor of free people. Perhaps this can convince the media that there really is a problem and this isn't all one big misunderstanding. They want to kill us. They want to kill you, Mr Editor.

How on Earth can the British let a march like this take place full of outright death threats and call to terrorist arms?

If they did this in Pittsburgh... just look up the Homestead Strike. These animals should have been beaten, teargassed, shot with rubber bullets and hauled down in masse for deportation. I don't know how any cop could walk beside a threat like that without taking justifyable actions.

Then why are they not rounding up the ones threatening murder?

I guess every veteran from the Iraq War should do the same after seeing the Washington post cartoon depicting one of their own having had all his limbs blown off for what the Commie-Libs preceive as a worthless war on terrorists.

No doubt. With the numerous collages and universities in the Boston area it has to be a hotbed of liberalism.

After reading a dozen articles about the cartoons and hundreds of posts on several sites, I have come to the conclusion that Europe is totally screwed.
