Ten people have been arrested during a demonstration outside a mosque in north-west London where an anti-Islamic protest was planned. At least 1,000 people gathered outside Harrow Central Mosque as activists from Stop Islamification of Europe planned to demonstrate outside the mosque.
Unite Against Fascism were also present to "defend the mosque", they said. Bricks, bottles and firecrackers were thrown at police officers who were present in riot gear at the scene. Just after 2000 BST, police said there were a small number of people in the area. Mobile patrols were continuing in a bid to reassure residents. What played out on the streets of Harrow today is completely unacceptable to everyone hundreds of youths, some covering their faces with scarves, were in the area and there were skirmishes with police as some demonstrators broke a police cordon.
Pendry said police had to "intervene" to stop things from "escalating". "Officers came under attack from bricks and bottles and we had to deploy our staff in protective equipment a number of times.
"Police had to take fast-time action to stop events from getting even worse this afternoon, by intervening to prevent an imminent breach of the peace.
"What played out on the streets of Harrow today is completely unacceptable to everyone," she added. 'Saddened and dismayed'
Stop Islamification of Europe said they planned a "peaceful protest" against the building of a five-storey mosque next to the Harrow Central Mosque. But in a message on their website SIOE said the protest had been called off and organiser Stephen Gash had been arrested. The posting read: "If you are on your way to the demo, don't go, it's being called off right now. The anti-Islamic group had to call off the planned protest "The police can't handle the Muslim counter-demonstrators."

Now, that's funny.
Yeah, I did a double-take, as well.
Sounds like Englanders are starting to fight back against the murderous thugs called muslims.
My reading of the article tells me that it was the Anti-Facism group that caused the trouble - funny though the article does not come right out and say it - Lefty English media are as cowardly as media anywhere else.

the Police said they were ‘saddned and dismayed”...
YOU EUROWEENIES are gonna be more than ‘dismayed’ when the Muzzies completely take over and behead you.

Watched it on FNC this afternoon. The muzzies rushed the other group and all hell broke loose. Some of the Brits are pushing back and it’s way past time they did.
ROTFLMAO ~ there’s no way a Moslem can be “anti-fascist”. Islam itself is fascist in concept and scope. A good Moslem is, of course, a good little fascist.

**Sounds like Englanders are starting to fight back against the murderous thugs called muslims.**
Not to worry, the British government will arrest and imprison them for their hubris.
It’s funny how you have to read between the lines to try and ascertain the truth - journalism used to be about telling the whole truth - please or offend.
