Arrests Made in London Muhammed Cartoon Protests

Police in London have finally made some arrests in the now infamous protests at the Danish embassy in which Muslims threatened to behead those who insulted Islam. A) What took so freaking long? B) What about the hundreds of others at the protest? UPI:

Five men were arrested Wednesday over their alleged role in a London protest during which some demonstrators urged the murder of those who insult Islam.

The men were seized on suspicion of incitement to violence and incitement to murder, and taken to police stations in London and Birmingham for questioning.

The demonstrations, held outside the Danish Embassy in London on Feb. 3 and 4, were in protest of the publication of satirical cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in a Danish newspaper. The images, which included one of the Prophet wearing a bomb-shaped turban, sparked outcry across the Muslim world, particularly after they were republished by newspapers in several European countries.

Some demonstrators in London waved placards calling for the "beheading" or "massacre" of those who insult Islam, while other placards appeared to call for a repeat of the July 7 bombings which killed 52 people.

Jurist:
The arrests follow weeks of investigation by a special law enforcement team set up by the London Metropolitan Police called Operation Laverda, which collected video, audio, photographs and other evidence of protestors. During the protests, demonstrators displayed placards threatening terrorist attacks like those on September 11th and July 7th, as well as the "massacre" of people who insult Islam....

Police charged four of the suspects with incitement to murder, and held all five on charges of "using threatening words or written material to stir up racial hatred."

UPDATE: The Blogfather has video of the protest up.

2 "inciting racial hatred", the new default British catchall law, great for a liberal country afraid of insulting anyone/anything.

3 Meanwhile Saddam Hussein has again turned the Iragi court into a circus, thereby escaping hanging for another 3 weeks! These people cannot be helped! Like putting a dog up in a palace. Wake up and smell the coffee!

5 If britain wanted to stop all of this they should simply round up all arabs and deport them. Or for the preferred solution, publically slaughter every last one of them. these people are a filthy detriment to the world.

6 I told my wife, if she didn't start cleaning the kitchen, and cooking some good food at the house, I was going to give her a good beating, and make her wear a dark burka. Just like the lady holding the sign. That's a good Muslim chick there! She doesn't need a beating today.

17 Just because you are a cow does not mean I want to you know get it on with you.

18 Muhammad was a false prophet and child molester who twisted the word of God and his son Jesus Christ for Lucifers purpose. You can find my quotes on this matter in the Gospel of John.

19 It baffles me that there are still som many superstitious people on the earth. If you're rich it's God's will. If you're a violent ass with no sense of humor, it is the will of Allah. Jesus is watching. The devil's got a pitchfork. Muhammad (sh*t be upon him) is God's mouthpiece. Blah, blah, blah. Why do people get so excited over these fairy tales? I think the reason Muslims and Jizlam in general behave like savages when it comes to their stupid cult is that their stupid cult is about 600 years behind the last one, Christianity. Where was Christianity 600 years ago? Burning witches, forcing conversions and crusading for the "holy land" (give or take a century or two.) The dirt kissers are just a more primitive less evolved cult. If you need a book full of myths written down by other humans to tell you how to be good then you deserve to be ignorant and blowing yourselves up for nothing. Even if there was a God, and I'm not saying there is, why would it care about what you eat, what your cock looks like, what you wear, who you screw, or if you follow a book of extremely dated rules that some ramdom guy(s) wrote? That would be a pretty petty God, right? God wants you to wear a hat and have pigtails. God wants you to adhere to a strict schedule of sticking your ass in the air and reciting some rote prayer? God wants you to eat wafers representing his kid's corpse? I won't even get into the multi-armed elephant Hindu crap. Man created God to explain why it rains and why we're not happy all the time, etc. If a book gives you direction, great. But it's only a guide. Just be good to your self and others and you'll live a good life free of delusion. I mean, come on. Let Israel fight it's own battles. But screw Palestine too. Let the superstitious kill each other off so they can go meet their God and finally figure out who's right.

20 News alert! You are in the western world, if you don't like what you see go back to the theocracy from which you came from. News alert to Fundimental christians: GET OFF THE CROSS and stop whining! The soviets had some good ideas. Dismantle religion!

21 Heh. You guys ever heard of Religious, or even non-religious tolerance? I seem to remember Jesus saying, "Love thine enemy." and Mohammed saying that God was most merciful. If adherants to Christianinty, Islam, or Orthodox Judaisim actually tried harder to follow the teachings of their books(In the Koran at least the parts written by Mohammed and his immediate successors, not counting the later Suras that contradict what he said...) than we wouldn't have problems like this. As for those who disabuse religion all together, if you value any other freedoms, than you are basless hipocrites, and if you don't you obviously don't value freedom, which would make you a type of fascist. If people have the right to be athiests, they have the right to be religious. Besides, wouldn't it just be a bitch if you were wrong, and missed out on the whole point of life? Also, Howie, make sure you can properly distinguish your own thoughts and opinions from the Truth God has revealed to you. Speculation in the name of God never got anyone anywhere, just look at Catholicism or Radical Islam.-A Christian with his head on straight, God in his heart, and his sense of Freedom turned on.
