Protesters clash with Muslims at London mosque |
2004-06-05 |
LONDON: Right-wing British protesters clashed with Muslim worshippers and police during Friday prayers outside a London mosque where jailed radical cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri had given sermons. Around 20 demonstrators, calling themselves members of the United British Alliance, waved Union Jack flags and shouted anti-Muslim slurs from behind a barricade set up by police. A couple of the men managed to jump the barrier and interrupt prayers being held in the street in front of the mosque in Finsbury Park, in the north of the capital. Police broke up the skirmish immediately, and prayers were resumed while protesters sang traditional British national songs. |

#5 If the British Muslims think that this is bad, just wait until a few of their renegade brethern commit some sort of atrocity on Britain's soil. This little skirmish will look like a love-fest by comparison. |
