Just slogans
Jan. 8th, 2007 12:36 pmThe fact that the cartoons he wanted people bombed for were “just drawings” apparently still escapes him.A British Muslim has been found guilty of soliciting murder during a London rally against cartoons satirising the Prophet Muhammad. Umran Javed 27, of Birmingham, was also convicted of stirring up racial hatred by a jury at the Old Bailey.
Javed told a crowd of hundreds at the February 2006 protest: “Bomb, bomb Denmark, bomb, bomb USA.” He had claimed the chants against the two countries were “just slogans” and that he regretted saying them. [BBC]
