Far right nationalists and Muslim extremists clashed as the Royal Anglian Regiment marched through Barking today. About 50 members of a group called Muslims Against the Crusades heckled soldiers shouting “murderers” and brandished placards proclaiming “British soldiers are cowards” during a homecoming parade for troops. They were met with counter-demonstration of nationalists including members of the extreme anti Islam English Defence League shouting “scum” and “Allah, Allah, who the f***k is Allah”. The rival groups faced off across Barking's main shopping street. Moments after the soldiers passed by tensions reached boiling point as nationalists broke police lines and charged across the road, clashing with the Muslim protesters. Police quickly separated the two groups and escorted the Islamists to the tube station. London, UK. 15-06-10
