Call for Holy War at London Demo (ROP Demands for "Killing of Newspaper Editors, Broadcasters")

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.

If Muslims don't feel "safe" in London and other parts of the civilized world, then they should leave and go live in a Muslim country.

Parading banners that called for the killing of newspaper editors and broadcasters from the BBCSeems to me that the piblic showing and calls for the death of anyone is a collusion and conspiracy to murder.
I don't know how things work there, but you can't call for or incite murder here without getting a free cot.

Parading banners that called for the killing of newspaper editors and broadcasters from the BBC who showed cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad Sounds like reasonable demands. Why not, afterall it was the editors fault for printing it. They deserve it, right?

The world-wide muslim attack on media may work to the favor of free people. Perhaps this can convince the media that there really is a problem and this isn't all one big misunderstanding. They want to kill us. They want to kill you, Mr Editor.

How on Earth can the British let a march like this take place full of outright death threats and call to terrorist arms?
If they did this in Pittsburgh... just look up the Homestead Strike. These animals should have been beaten, teargassed, shot with rubber bullets and hauled down in masse for deportation. I don't know how any cop could walk beside a threat like that without taking justifyable actions.

The officers said that their role was to ensure public order and safety.Then why are they not rounding up the ones threatening murder?

No doubt. With the numerous collages and universities in the Boston area it has to be a hotbed of liberalism.

After reading a dozen articles about the cartoons and hundreds of posts on several sites, I have come to the conclusion that Europe is totally screwed.

I agree, but I also think the muslims may be in worse shape. The Europeans are not as constrained as Americans when it comes to "tolerence." 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. We might be the ones calling the Europeans off of the muslims when it is in all said and done because I see this possibly causing a violent and even extreme nationalist movement in Europe. This situation looks like it could be a mess. People have been predicting it for years.

How ironic...The noble freedom fighters that the media has supported now turn on them. Perhaps some hand smiting would make the media realize who the real enemy is.

Oh? Why do I think plenty of city folk would march with them?
Now, certainly no one in NYC, where Islam stuck and murdered thousands, would stand for one minute, public displays of Islamic fascists.

This just occured at ground zero.
