A group of around 20 men in traditional Islamic dress held up banners and placards that read: "Anglian Soldiers Butchers of Basra", "Anglian Soldiers Criminals, Murderers Terrorists" and "Baby killers".It didn't last long, though:
The initial shoving was definitely out of line, but its good to see this sort of bigotry against our soldiers given the bird. Freedom of speech is not freedom from shaming.

As horrible as it was to see the protests, I think it's symptomatic of a much wider issue: http://blog.matthewcain.co.uk/why-are-we-so-angry/
I wonder how the police would react to protesters who replied to the various, ubiquituous, Muslim "Death to Infidels/America/the Juice/etc" signs with a "Death to Islam" sign.
I suspect the Muslims wouldn't be the ones to get hauled to the pokey:-(
