Harrow Mosque Protest - a photo on Flickriver

Protesters outside the Mosque during the afternoon.

Stop the Islamisation of Europe called for a demonstration outside Harrow Mosque in North West London to coincide with evening prayers on Friday September 11th. The protest was also being promoted by the English Defence League who have repeatedly clashed with Muslims and Anti-fascists in recent months. A counter demonstration was called by Unite Against Fascism.

About 1000 counter demonstrators gathered to protect the Mosque during the afternoon. Police ordered Stop the Islamisation of Europe to call of the protest to prevent violence.

A small group (less than 20) of English Defence League protesters were chased from the area by the counter demonstrators and were escorted away by the Police.

Frustrated elements of the crowd then turned on the Police resulting in a few skirmishes with bottles, stones and firecrackers being thrown. Other sections of the protesters eventually restrained these elements and by about 7.30 in the evening the crowd had started to disperse.

There were 10 arrests reported.
