100,000 Muslims to Protest in London

A mass demonstration of 100,000 Muslims will take place in London on February 18 as anger continues over publication of the Mohammed cartoons. Muslims will march from Trafalgar Square to Hyde Park. It will be the fifth demonstration in three weeks.

The Muslim Action Committee, an umbrella group which claims to represent more than a million Muslims, said it would do as much as it could to prevent the ugly scenes seen last week when protesters carried placards issuing death threats and one man dressed as a suicide bomber. Only banners and placards issued by the committee would be allowed at the march.
