Royal Wedding: Muslim group's Abbey protest blocked

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13125846

Summary:
Scotland Yard has rejected an application by a radical Islamist group to protest outside Westminster Abbey on royal Wedding Day. Officers said it is discussed whether other protest also will be blocked on this day. Five thousand police officers will be on duty on royal Wedding Day and they have the power to remove major protests along the main route that the bride and groom will take. Police have also begun searching for explosives in central London. Dogs have helped them with locating possible bombs. There will also be banned 60 people who are on bail from prison from Westminster on the day of the wedding. The London Metropolitan Police Air Support Unit will deploy a helicopter with cameras, supporting police on the ground. 
The group's website of Muslims Against Crusades calls on Muslims to disrupt the wedding and they describe senior members of the Royal Family as "enemies to Allah and his messenger". Ms Owens told the BBC police to make sure that no protest disrupts the celebration for the Royal Family.

Opinion:
I think it is very good that there is so much protection during the Royal Wedding Day. There will be gathered a lot of people during this day which includes of course the Royal Family and other celebrities. All these people serve the right to be protected, because especially during these kind of days terrorist could make action on terrorism. I also think it is good to block protests near Westminster because they can be a threat for the Royal Family and on the whole it is good to pay so much attention to protection of all members of the Royal Wedding, including visitors, to make sure no one disrupts the celebration for the Royal Family.

  1. I agree with you on this subject. I think it is ridiculous what the group's website of muslims against crusade etc. etc. say, they are really weird! I think it is very good that there is a lot of protection on this day. The wedding is over now and nothing happended so it worked. I do think your lay out is a bit too much. the red makes it hard to read;)
