Abdul Saleem Found Guilty

The third trial at the Old Bailey featuring Muslim protesters who participated in a demonstration in London in February 2006 in reaction to the publication of cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammed in a Denmark newspaper ended earlier today with a third guilty verdict.

Abdul Saleem was found guilty of using threatening, abusive and insulting behavior during the protest. While the news media and prosecutors depicted the 31-year-old as a leader of the exhortations in question, Saleem maintained that he was following the chants used by the crowd, not directing them.
