Cartoon protester guilty of encouraging murder Staff and agencies Wednesday March 7, 2007 Guardian Unlimited A British Muslim man was today found guilty of two counts of soliciting to murder during a demonstration against the Muhammad cartoons. Abdul Muhid, 24, a prominent member of the Saviour Sect which is linked to the radical cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed, led a crowd chanting "Bomb, bomb the UK" and produced placards with slogans such as "Annihilate those who insult Islam", the Old Bailey heard. The demonstration happened outside the Danish embassy in London on February 3 2006 after the publication in a Danish newspaper of cartoons depicting Muhammad. The images included one of the prophet wearing a bomb-shaped turban. Other placards read "Europe you will pay, the Fantastic 4 are on their way" and "3/11 is on its way", apparent references to the fatal terrorist bombings in London and Madrid.

David Perry QC, prosecuting, told the court that the real purpose of the protest in London was to encourage terrorism. Muhid saw himself as a "soldier" engaged in a struggle against those he believed had insulted Islam, and exhorted people to commit "terrorist killing", Mr Perry said. After the verdicts were read out, Mr Perry told the court Muhid had a previous conviction for smashing a bus shelter in Walthamstow market "which was displaying an advertisement which he said offended his religious beliefs". guardian.co.uk See the cartoons The cartoons can be seen at Wikipedia
