Methinks patience with the followers of allah in England is growing thin..
Hopefully the police will video tape everything and Identify everyone attending the protest.
Well, then, stop building chemical weapons in your basement. Its little things like that that make people suspicious.

...and a few of them are even mildly annoyed about the presence of terrorists among them.
Welcome to FR. What was your comment?
Ahhhh, the keyword these days is "South Asian"? Are we to believe that "South Asians" are going to protest because the authorities are leaning too hard on "South Asians"? Which "South Asians" are feeling the heat--the Malaysians? Perhaps the Thais? How about the Vietnamese? Indians? Hmmmmmmmm, I wonder which "South Asians" could be protesting...
NOVEMBER 30, 2003 : (CONFESSED ANTHRAX PLOTTER MOAZZIM BEGG TO BE RETURNED TO THE UK BY CHRISTMAS) The father of a Birmingham man being held under terrorism laws in Guantanamo Bay last night welcomed news that his son could be home by Christmas. Azmat Begg, the father of Moazzam Begg, who has been detained at the American military prison in Cuba since 2002, said his whole family was 'very happy' he could soon return to Britain as part of a deal being brokered between the US and Britain. The negotiations could secure the release of nine British prisoners including Shafiq Rasul, Asif Iqbal and Ruhal Ahmed from Tipton, Sandwell, being held at the detention centre -dubbed Camp X-ray -which was set up after the September 11 terror attacks.
It was claimed yesterday [November 20, 2003] that Begg, aged 36 and from Sparkhill, had confessed under duress to taking part in an al Qaida plot to attack the House of Commons with anthrax. His lawyer, Clive Stafford Smith, said the statement was completely implausible and the alleged plot 'laughable'.
Mr Begg, a 65-year-old retired bank manager from Moseley, said: 'I think it's a good move, provided the deal is fair. 'A confession without a lawyer is of no value and it's not right. 'I hope they will have a very fair deal -it then depends on what they have agreed. We just don't know the terms of the deal but we are all very happy that he is coming back to Britain.'
Mr Stafford Smith, a British lawyer based in New Orleans, claimed Moazzam Begg admitted under intense pressure to being part of a plot to get an unmanned aircraft, fly it over London and drop anthrax bombs on the House of Commons. But he labelled the confession 'absurd' and said it was obtained following months of interrogation and segregation in Camp Delta. He said the deal to return the detainees to the UK would most likely consist of the 'British having to plead guilty on some nonsense charge and come back here to serve their sentence'. But he suggested that Rasul, aged 24, and Iqbal, aged 20, could be freed outright. 'It seems highly improbable that Iqbal and Rasul will be charged with anything,' he said. 'There simply is nothing there.' ------ "HEADLINE: CAMP X-RAY FATHER HAPPY AT RELEASE DEAL," by BYLINE: SOPHIE BLAKEMORE, Birmingham Post , Midland Independent Newspapers , 2003 , plc , December 1, 2003, Monday
