The British have arrested five of the demonstrators who took part in the astonishing display of savagery outside the Danish embassy in London last month: Five arrested over London cartoons protest. (Hat tip: Ethel.)

Five men were arrested today over their alleged role in protests outside the Danish Embassy in London last month against cartoons satirising the Prophet Muhammad.

Four of the five were held on suspicion of incitement to murder and all five are suspected of “using threatening words or written material to stir up racial hatred”.

During the demonstrations in Central London on February 3 and 4, protesters held placards threatening a repeat of the September 11 or July 7 terror attacks. Among the slogans were “Massacre those who insult Islam” and “Europe you will pay, your 9/11 will come”.

As you can see in this video, however, there were many more than five people at these hate rallies.
