LEADERS of radical British Muslim groups threatened a campaign of protest last night as demonstrations spread from Europe to the Far East. A crowd of several hundred demonstrated outside the Danish Embassy in Knightsbridge, with protesters repeatedly shouting: “UK you must pray, 7/7 is on its way.”

Western leaders were hoping that Muslim protests had reached their peak after apologies from many politicians and newspapers yesterday for any offence caused by the publication of cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad. However, organisers in Britain gave warning that their protests would accelerate over the weekend, with BBC offices a target for their wrath. Jack Straw, the Foreign Secretary, condemned the decision by some media outlets in Europe to republish the cartoons, calling it “insensitive, disrespectful and wrong”.

It is a shame that reporters and editors were never taught basic courtesy.
 
Maybe it has something to do with the nature of the faith, why do we put up with blashemous representaions of our faith and our God?
A friend emailed me to say these demo’s are being used for vicarious reasons; to stir the pot so to speak.
