Cartoons and Death

A British man who was protesting the publication of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad in 2005 was convicted today and faces up to life in prison.

A 27-year-old Muslim man has been found guilty of soliciting murder during a protest against the publication of cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammad. Briton Umran Javed of Washwood Heath Road, Birmingham, who had denied the charges, was also convicted of using words likely to stir up racial hatred at last February's demonstration.

The Old Bailey jury had heard how Javed said "bomb, bomb Denmark; bomb, bomb USA" into a loudhailer outside the Danish Embassy on Sloane Street, Knightsbridge.
