Yesterday, I went along to the rally against British troops in Kensington organised by Muslims Against Crusades, a splinter group of al-Muhajiroun.
Three members of the group were arrested, one for assaulting a police officer, and two for disorderly behaviour. I happened to catch them just before they were loaded into the wagon, here they are:
(quality not all that great, sorry, I'm not so brill with the camera)
Among those who were marching, I recognised five who were members of the now banned al-Muhajiroun.
Here are some more pictures I took:
This genius led the chants, and by the looks of the picture, he needed a crib sheet to remind him of the two very basic slogans he was tasked with shouting. These were 'British soldiers - terrorists', and 'British soldiers - go to hell'.

This one is a bit blurry - the sign reads 'our dead are in paradise, your dead are in hell!'. Presumably, what he means by 'our dead' are the Taliban and other jihadists.
