UK vigilant:British police probe anti-pope demonstration Sep 18, 2006 London police are investigating whether a Muslim protest against Pope Benedict XVI's remarks about Islam breached laws on incitement to violence, officers said. There were no arrests during Sunday's demo outside Westminster Cathedral, but the force has received about 25 complaints of reported remarks calling for the Roman Catholic leader to face capital punishment for insulting Islam. Scotland Yard's Assistant Commissioner Tarique Ghaffur, the country's most senior Muslim officer, said: "We have a long history of facilitating lawful demonstration and are keen to continue dialogue with any group wishing to protest. "However, what we will not allow is for people to attend demonstrations and break the law. "Currently officers are looking at what took place yesterday (Sunday), and also other publicly made statements, with a view to ascertain if any criminal offences have been committed. "We will always proportionately police all protest but equally will take decisive action where crime is committed." An officer took photographs of the demonstration, which took place outside the place of worship -- home to the Catholic leader of England and Wales, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor -- and involved about 100 people. A number of people were charged with inciting murder and racial hatred earlier this year over protests in London against the publication of cartoons depicting the prophet Mohammed in some European newspapers.
