Two speakers at a pro-Muslim rally have been arrested after their supporters clashed with Right wing protesters.

Police moved in and detained the speakers and two counter protesters at the event in Trafalgar Square.

A police spokesman says one arrest was for using threatening words and behaviour and another was for incitement to disorder at the "Rally for Islam".

Scuffles broke out during the rally between police and the protesters who rushed towards the stage during one of the speeches.

Sheikh Abu Hamza, leader of the Finsbury Park Mosque, who was one of the speakers, said afterwards: "It's not our priority to fight the United States. Our priority is to get our house in order and to have Islamic States."

One scuffle broke out after another of the speakers, Sulayman Keeler told the crowd: "You say Osama bin Laden is a murderer. I say Tony Blair is a murderer, George Bush is a murderer."

Counter-protester Dean Hodgson, from Hounslow, west London said: "It's disgusting they are allowed to do this. They're preaching hatred."

Sounds more like Left-wing hate mongerers were arrested after clashing with center-right protesters.

I have to agree with Dean. The last thing Islam needs is hate spewing rallies at major world centers. It's like poking someone in the eye with a sharp stick after you murdered his relatives.

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

In this country,RIGHT WING PROTESTERS would be arrested just for an opposing viewpoint of the LEFT.

"Our priority is to get our house in order and to have Islamic States."

This is what we're up against. These people are on a expantionist mission no less than Communism was. They are determined to force every person and every nation on earth to bow to their concept of God- and now they have no qualms about being open about it.

This is why we are in this fight and it is the fight of our generation and our lives. We have to get them before they get us. It's really no more difficult than that.

Very well said!

See how many "free-speech" rallies are permitted once sharia becomes the law in Britain.

Well, I'm not worried, they can't even take over their own countries.

It's been said that France will have a Muslim nation in 50 years. In that case, though, they deserve it.

Thank you!

Maybe, maybe not, but they've demonstrated that they can kill 3000 of our people trying to bring us into submission.

[hoosierham]

Perhaps we should kill 300,000 of their "unholy warriors" to show we WILL NOT SUBMIT.

Islam List material.

Cluster bomb Mecca...they will catch the drift.

My GOD is in Heaven, their god is under a big, black rock.

He's out of step with his brothers and a marked man for death, but I'm sure it's Allah's will.

The Mohammedeans who were at the rally should be deported immediately.
