Muslim youth clash with police as UAF 'defends' Mosque

Around ten people were arrested as clashes broke out between police and a minority of Muslim youth during a demonstration outside Harrow Central Mosque in Harrow, north-west London, where an anti-Islamic protest was planned, commemorating the 8th anniversary of the September 11th attacks in the US.

Ajmal Magroor, the guest speaker at Harrow Central Mosque had earlier urged Muslim worshippers at Friday prayers, to rise above agitation and confrontation with the English Defence League (EDL) and Stop Islamification of Europe (SIOE), but despite this, violence erupted shortly after the official Unite Against Fascism (UAF) counter-protest began to "protect the mosque".

Up to 1,000 people had gathered on Station Road and in the immediate vicinity of the mosque, but the SIOE had already cancelled, explained on their website as due to a police request and the arrest of Stephen Gash "to prevent a breach of the peace".

Nevertheless, a small number of EDL supporters did turn up, stoking anger in the multi-ethnic, mainly Muslim crowd. Up to around a hundred youths, many covering their faces with scarves and hoodies, were in the area as skirmishes with police broke out. Firecrackers, stones, bottles, traffic cones and pipes were thrown, and in one instance youths broke a parking meter, using the bricks as ammunition.

As evening fell, the crowds dissipated and calm was eventually restored by the police.

Up to 1,000 people had gathered on Station Road and in the immediate vicinity of the mosque, but the SIOE had already cancelled, explained on their website as due to a police request and the arrest of Stephen Gash "to prevent a breach of the peace".

Nevertheless, a small number of EDL supporters did turn up, stoking anger in the multi-ethnic, mainly Muslim crowd. Up to around a hundred youths, many covering their faces with scarves and hoodies, were in the area as skirmishes with police broke out. Firecrackers, stones, bottles, traffic cones and pipes were thrown, and in one instance youths broke a parking meter, using the bricks as ammunition.

As evening fell, the crowds dissipated and calm was eventually restored by the police.
