"For many at Regents Park Mosque in London today this is just a new chapter in an old story of Western hypocrisy and hatred in which Muslim rights come second to everyone else's freedoms."Some of those demonstrating against "Western hypocrisy and hatred" are chanting:
UK YOU WILL PAY
BIN LADEN ON HIS WAY
A few hundred of them then set off for the Danish Embassy fronted by placards proclaiming:
KILL THOSE WHO INSULT ISLAM
EXTERMINATE THOSE WHO SLANDER ISLAM
ANNIHILATE THOSE WHO INSULT ISLAM
MASSACRE THOSE WHO INSULT ISLAM
EUROPE YOU WILL PAY FANTASTIC 4 ARE ON THE WAY
Free speech indeed.
UPDATE
Saturday's Guardian puts the number of demonstrators at more than 500 and notes they were led by al-Ghuraba (formerly al-Mujahiroun).
Passersby stopped police officers to ask why the marchers were being allowed to carry banners threatening further suicide attacks in the city. One police officer replied: "Don't worry. We are photographing them."How reassuring.
