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.

I agree, but I also think the muslims may be in worse shape. The Europeans are not as constrained as Americans when it comes to "tolerence." Look at all the extremely violent wars and political movements in Europe's history, many of which involved ethnic and religious conflict. If the muslims set the Euros off they might find themselves in some serious trouble. We might be the ones calling the Europeans off of the muslims when it is in all said and done because I see this possibly causing a violent and even extreme nationalist movement in Europe. This situation looks like it could be a mess. People have been predicting it for years.

How ironic...The noble freedom fighters that the media has supported now turn on them. Perhaps some hand smiting would make the media realize who the real enemy is.

I sincerely hope that the authorities are paying close attention to these twits and that several deportations will be in order.

Oh? Why do I think plenty of city folk would march with them?

Now, certainly no one in NYC, where Islam stuck and murdered thousands, would stand for one minute, public displays of Islamic fascists.

This just occured at ground zero.

So, in other words, they are making terroristic threats and are not being arrested. They should have been on the next plane back to where they came from, in irons.

Interesting the ciizens tried to interfere,,our good British cousins.

And it is telling that they left the mosque after services ready to go demand a killing.

How many Christians leave Sunday Nite Church ready to go on a rampage?

You'll find American gun laws very permissive compared to what you're used to. Just about any place in the South or West excluding the Far West(California, Oregon, or Washington state) should do nicely.

Good point. One that you never hear from the antique media.
