Τα πλακάτ γράφουν, ''σφάχτε εκείνους που κοροϊδεύουν το ισλάμ'', ''αποκεφαλίστε εκείνους που προσβάλουν τον προφήτη'', ''ελευθερια πήγαινε στη κόλαση''... Αυτά από ειρηνική διαδήλωση μουσουλμάνων κάπου στην Ευρώπη, μάλλον στο Λονδίνο. Δηλαδή αν εγώ πω με πολύ ωραίο τρόπο, ότι δεν ταιριάζει σε προφήτη του Θεού να έχει πολλές γυναίκες και μάλιστα μία εξ αυτών, η Αϊσέ, να είναι κοριστάκι μόλις 6 ετών όταν την παντρεύτηκε ο ''προφήτης'' Μωάμεθ, αυτό μπορεί να θεωρηθεί προσβολή η κοροϊδία και να με αποκεφαλίσουν; Οπότε ουσιαστικά απαγορεύεται να πω την άποψη μου... Αυτό μήπως λέγεται ρατσισμός εις βάρος μου;
Placards calling for anyone who insults the prophet Mohammed to be beheaded have been waved during an angry protest outside the Danish Embassy in London.
Hundreds of Muslims gathered there yelled anti-British chants to protest against the recent publication of cartoons satirising the prophet Mohammed.
They met after Friday prayers outside Regent's Park mosque in central London and marched through the streets towards the Danish embassy on Sloane Street.
Scores of them brandished angry placards, one declaring: "Free speech go to hell."
They chanted religious slogans in Arabic, paying homage to Allah and the prophet.
Among those protesting was 26-year-old Bushra Varakat, a student from Egham, Surrey. She said: "This is our prophet, he did a lot of things for humankind, both Muslim and non-Muslim.
"We don't know why these silly people use these cartoons unless they were showing how much they hate us.
"We have to defend our prophet otherwise Allah will punish us. We will not accept this ridicule."
Ms Varakat said Muslims respected Christian figures such as Jesus and Moses and believed that they were also prophets.
But, she said, Mohammed was the last prophet and therefore the most important to Muslims.
She said the European media who had published the pictures knew how much it would upset the Muslim community.
She said: "All the governments (in Europe) hate Muslims because they think if people turned to Islam, it will affect their western communities."
Police helicopter
Police surrounded the protesters as they marched through the streets, and a helicopter circled overhead.
Mohammed Abdul, from West Ham, was carrying a placard which read: "Punish those who insult Islam."
The 20-year-old electrician said: "I believe that these people cannot use freedom of speech as an excuse to insult Muslims.
"It has caused a lot of offence and now some people will take it into their own hands to retaliate - they don't know what they have done."
Mr Abdul said that the European countries have closed ranks with each other.
He said: "The newspapers of Europe have joined together to protect freedom of expression. But the British Press did not publish the pictures, there was no need for it.
"We are protesting today to prove that Muslims will not stay quiet."
Anti-British chants
Several of the ringleaders among the demonstration yelled chants like "Down, down UK" and "Down, down EU" as well as other anti-British slogans.
Mohammed Demasco, 24, who moved to the UK from Syria 13 years ago, said they did not represent the views of mainstream Muslims.
He said: "Slogans saying 'UK go to hell' and 'Europe go to hell' and 'Freedom go to hell' - they do not represent me as a Muslim.
"There is a lot of anger going around here and unfortunately you get idiocy like this.
"It makes me very angry and I have spoken to people holding these placards and asked them why they are saying such things.
"They do really understand they are just part of crowd behaviour."
Mr Demasco, a psychology student from West Hampstead, said Britain supported all these people with livelihoods and homes.
"It is ridiculous," he went on: "The UK has given us a living and jobs and provided us with opportunities that our own countries could not give us."
Mr Demasco said a lot of Muslims were angry because they did not like to see the Prophet Mohammed ridiculed in such a way, but that did not mean all Muslims wanted violence.
