London Calling
LONDON (Reuters) - Around a thousand far-right protesters shouting, "Muslim killers, off our streets" marched through central London on Monday against a backdrop of swelling anti-Muslim feeling following the killing of a British soldier last week.
Drummer Lee Rigby, 25, was hacked to death in broad daylight at a south London street by two men who said they killed him in the name of Islam. The attack has shocked Britain and stirred an anti-Muslim backlash, including attacks on mosques.
In a tense but largely peaceful demonstration, supporters of the far-right English Defence League (EDL) rallied in London outside Prime Minister David Cameron's residence waving placards and shouting anti-Islamic obscenities.
"Islamic extremism is probably the No. 1 threat to Britain," said one protester Ben Gates. Other demonstrators chanted: "Muslim bombers off our streets."
