LONDON, England -- A man who dressed as a suicide bomber during London protests against cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed has been arrested, police said.
Tuesday morning's arrest of Omar Khayam, 22, of Bedford, north of London, came it emerged he was on parole for drug dealing.
Khayam was sentenced to six years in prison in 2002 for possessing crack cocaine with intent to supply [...] released on parole last year after serving half his sentence [...]
On Monday, Khayam met reporters outside his home and apologized "wholeheartedly" for his behavior in Friday's protests [...]
Earlier, he was quoted by the Daily Express newspaper as saying he wanted to highlight "double standards." [...] If certain people have the right to do what they want and other people don't, then that is double standards." [SIC!]
Meanwhile, Scotland Yard said it has set up a special squad to investigate people who took part in the protest. Many protesters carried signs threatening death and terrorist attacks in retaliation for the cartoons.
Charles Clarke, Britain's home secretary (interior minister), told MPs that police and prosecuting authorities were carrying out "rigorous assessments" about the appropriate way to proceed in individual cases.
Senior detectives [...] will decide quickly whether to send files on any of the demonstrators to prosecutors, and they could then face incitement charges. [...]
CNN has chosen to not show the cartoons out of respect for Islam.

Good. Keep taking the trash off the streets...
Isn't dealing drugs an instant 'death penalty' in Islamic countries?
How convenient his convictions are....
Just another scumbag.
Apparently not if the proceeds are going to support radical Islam (if not terrorism outright):

This is great. None of the idiots with the death threat signs and chants should go unscathed from that cartoon demonstration/riot. They probably thought they got away with it since the police were letting them "go for it." They exposed themselves as radicals to be watched by the police.
Another stupid criminal
