for once i fully agree with the reaction of the kenya police and the authorities.

Be very fearful..

kenmac, i hear you. I just feel though that they are getting to our very last nerve.
why use religion in defence for criminals?

@Kenmac

Kudos for your level headedness.

However, where were the sane Muslims, if any, when the radical bunch was trading broadsides with the police over whether or not the demonstration was to be allowed.
Did those sane Muslim (assuming they exist) protest, resist or in any way dissasociate themselves from the Al faisal affair and the planned demonstration.

If they had publicly cautioned their youths against demonstrating in favour of a character of questionable background - read suspected terror agent, they would have spared us all these.

Keeping quiet was a tacit approval of the radical view.
