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 Regents 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 Londons 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 dont 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. Theres 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.

rag-heads in America know about the Second Amendment, and our resolve to kill their asses if they revolt here.
I saw (firsthand) what "our" citizenry took upon itself to quell looting after Katrina hit. Thugs were shot dead breaking into damaged homes, when druggies barged in looking for dope or money. I know two men that were killed by teens (stealing generators and gas), when they confronted the thieves unarmed. After these two incidents, looting was curtailed with civilian force. The police needed and appreciated the help.
Americans will destroy any domestic militant actions, if our government refuses to do so in a timely manner. Not even a question!

I would wait a while to make that determination. They have so far been wimpy but it is all words. Now they are faced with this. Note the citizens tried to stop this and the cops stopped them.
Give them time, I suspect they will rise to the occasion. At least the Brits will.
Meanwhile I am waiting to watch the Aussies who have papers publishing these cartoons. Heh heh

In my view, there shoud be millions of Englishmen on sight squashing these terrorists, and anyone trying to defend them...
Sadly, I fear the same feeble response when it happens here at home...

"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. "
I'd have to agree. You are starting to get a push-back in France, and when Nicolas Sarkozy becomes President of the Republic, France won't be so "tolerant." (Although burning Renaults seems to be a worthwhile pastime). If the Europeans get into their police state mode, Islam in Europe will be a lot smaller.

The officers said that their role was to ensure public order and safety. The German police said this after WWII:
'We were just following orders.'

I love knowing these people did their best. The insanity is that they had to ask this question.

This reminds me of Germany in the late 1920s and early 1930s.
Any newspaper that printed disparaging cartoons about Adolf and his gang of thugs faced a similar reaction.

If white Britons, the natives who are now facing genocide through immigration, marched with these sort of signs the riot squad would have been called out, and there would be mass arrests, both during and after the march. The enemy is not these pipsqueaks it's the establishment.
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. These fools just don't get the real nature of the "anti-racism" campaign, they think it's real!

Bullcrap. 500 loons have made themselves looked ridiculous in front of the world and their own communities. And now have their pictures on police file. You can get 500 people to march about just about anything in London.

Not just in rural America! Plenty of people, living in cities, wont stand for this garbage, either. What makes you think that the police would not protect the muslims they same way they are in the U.K.?

What makes you think that cops in Manhattan wouldn't get their own licks in, if and when IslamoNazis there, decide to bring the war into the streets?

What makes you think that cops in Manhattan wouldn't get their own licks in, if and when IslamoNazis there, decide to bring the war into the streets? Never been to Manhattan, you think the police would not protect them? Is this because of 9/11 or just your opinion on the police in Manhattan?
