Remember this rally? The one that I'm sure gave our intelligence agency's more leads to work off for a lifetime.

Four men jailed over cartoon demo

Four men have been jailed for their part in protests outside the Danish embassy in London, against cartoons satirising the Prophet Muhammad.

Javed, Muhid, Saleem and Rahman had denied holding extremist views

Mizanur Rahman, 24, Umran Javed, 27, and Abdul Muhid, 24, were each jailed for six years for soliciting to murder after telling a crowd to bomb the UK.

A fourth man, Abdul Saleem, 32, was jailed for four years for stirring up racial hatred at the protest in 2006.

The men, from London and Birmingham, were convicted at the Old Bailey.
Judge Brian Barker said their words had been designed to encourage murder and terrorism.


About 300 protestors marched outside the Danish embassy in February last year after cartoons satirising Muhammad were published in newspapers in Denmark and other European countries.
Outside the sentencing hearing, a group of around 40 demonstrators waved placards with slogans including "Muslims Under Siege".

Good stuff - id like the sentences harsher - but hey considering the state our legal systems in 6 and 4 years is good enough ;)

If I ever got my hands on those animals. Oh my, just send my company to sort them out. We certainly wud send them to the morgue minus body bags. This is so frustrating to me.

I think that they got the sentences that they deserved but the death penalty and a score of Marines on their case is a bit harsh but maybe I am just either just very laid back or unpatriotic.

Well, the lads would love it. I certainly would after some time in ganners.
