In a previous London Muslim protest in February a former crack dealer showed up wearing a suicide bomber vest in protest of a cartoon of Muhammad dressed as a bomber. Selling crack is an offense which carries a mandatory death sentence in some Muslim countries.

A small group of radical Islamists demonstrated outside Forest Gate police station in east London on Friday in protest over last week’s big raid on a nearby house by police looking for a chemical bomb. Police on Thursday defended the raid which provoked anger from Muslim groups after detectives said no device had been found.

The Anti-Blair, Anti-Police protests were held despite appeals from the arrested men’s families to back off:

Two hundred demonstrators have protested outside a police station against last week’s massive anti-terror swoop on a house in east London. Chanting “Tony Blair terrorist” and “Hands off the Muslims” the protesters waved placards and shouted insults at scores of watching police officers. The protest was called despite appeals from the family of two men arrested in the raid to back off.

One of the arrested men was shot during the operation. Muslim groups said the action was excessive and had inflamed fears in their community.

The family of the two men distanced themselves from the protest.

“This will only provide another opportunity for our community to be portrayed in a negative light,” Humeya Kalam said.

Well, yeah!
