Radical Muslims storm election meeting

[Freddie Stubbs]

LONDON (Reuters) - Radical Islamists broke into a news conference held by moderate Muslims on Tuesday, denounced Prime Minister Tony Blair as Satan and urged Muslims to boycott next month's election.

Around 20 protesters, many wearing scarves to hide their faces, ripped a locked door off its hinges at one of London's main mosques and burst into the event organised by the country's main Islamic lobby group the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB).

They pushed their way to the front of the room, stood on chairs and shouted slogans against the MCB, Blair, Jews, Christians, apostates and the entire political system.

"Tony Blair can go to hell! Tony Blair can go to hell!," they chanted as television cameras turned on them. "There is no God but Allah!"

1. Rove prays for something like this in the USA.

I wonder if this will give Blair a boost like it would with our mouth-breathers for Bush?

2. "The Saviour Sect"????

I'm sure we have nutjobs on our shores who wish they'd though of that name first. I'm really getting sick of religious extremists everyfuckingwhere.

5. I don't understand the posts, that seem to make light of this.

Did you guys read the article?

This isn't funny, and these people were not sent by Karl Rove.

They do, however, have roots in some pretty evil philosophies. And they don't represent just words, but violence all over the world, and have done for many decades, long before George Bush was in power.

Attacks on the moderate, the peaceful, threaten us all.

6. No guns, nobody actually hurt, we did a lot of that in the 60s and 70s.

Admitted these guys didn't cover themselves in glory, admitted
there's a bit of testosterone poisoning in evidence, but if you don't
let them raise hell peaceable you get un-peaceable. Dialog is better
than the alternative.

8. Excellent point. nt

7. They were only telling the truth

Tony Blair IS Satan.

Seriously though, you bomb and invade a country and kill 100,000 of its citizens, you should expect things like this.

9. It sure looks like UK voters are on track to reelect 'Satan'

I wonder which Ayatollah these people would rather see running the UK? :shrug:
