Protester in suicide bomber's outfit sent back to jail
My heart bleeds for that poor, pious, peace-loving Moderate Muslim.
A DEMONSTRATOR who dressed as a suicide bomber during a protest against cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad was sent back to prison yesterday. Omar Khayam, 22, was photographed in London at the weekend wearing an imitation suicide bombing outfit to denounce the caricatures satirising the Prophet of Islam.

In 2002, the student was given a six-year prison sentence for possessing crack cocaine with intent to supply and had been on licence after his release last year halfway through his sentence. But yesterday, at the request of the Home Office, police arrested Khayam in Bedford for breaching the terms of his parole and he was taken back to jail.
Leftist seething over the way the poor con was treated, or Islamist seething over being arrested for looking like a splodydope? Decisions, decisions ...
Muslim groups were swift to condemn demonstrators in London at the weekend who threatened violence over the cartoons, first published in a Danish paper in September. Some protesters waved placards threatening a repeat of the 11 September and 7 July atrocities.

On Monday, Khayam apologised "wholeheartedly" for his behaviour in London, saying it was "wrong, unjustified and insensitive" to protest dressed as a suicide bomber.
"Please don't send me back to prison!"
A Home Office spokeswoman said: "If an offender is in the community on licence and his behaviour gives cause for concern, he is liable to be recalled back to prison."

Last night, the Lord Chancellor, Lord Falconer of Thoroton, warned "freedom of speech does not mean the freedom to incite crime" .
That's true. You're free to print stupid-ass cartoons but not free to dress up like a splodydope.
In a speech at the London School of Economics, he said freedom of speech was an "embedded" part of the constitution, but he emphasised it came with "duties and responsibilities".
