Muslim convicted of stirring hatred

A British Muslim who called for Sept. 11-style attacks across Europe during a protest outside the Danish Embassy in London was convicted of stirring up racial hatred.

But a jury at London’s Old Bailey court was unable to reach a verdict on a separate charge of soliciting murder in the case against Web designer Mizanur Rahman, who allegedly called for the “indiscriminate killing” of British troops in Iraq. He denied both charges.

During a February speech at demonstrations against a Danish newspaper’s publication of caricatures of the prophet Muhammad, Rahman called for France to be bombed.
