LONDON, Feb 18: Thousands of Muslims took to the streets of London, New York and Vienna on Saturday to protest the publication of the controversial cartoons.
The London demonstration was the British capital’s biggest since protests began against the caricatures.
Police said 10,000 joined the protest, organised by the Muslim Action Committee (MAC), which represents 650 mosques and Muslim communities in Britain.
The MAC said some 40,000 people took part.
