English Defense League protests London beheading

I haven't followed recent events in England closely enough to tell whether this is meaningful or a short-term outburst in response to the attack in London, but social mood certainly supports this being something more.

Far-right clash with police near scene of killing
Running battles erupted in the streets, with youths and EDL activists in balaclavas throwing rocks at riot police, Channel Four reported. The Mail said bottles were thrown at the police.

Police formed a cordon and the activists dispersed soon after. Some then gathered at The Queen's Arms pub and sang nationalistic songs, the Mail reported.

Elsewhere, two men were arrested after separate attacks on mosques following the killing.
There weren't actual attacks, the perps were apprehended before they did anything.

English Defence League retaliates following Woolwich terror attack
EDL leader Tommy Robinson said Islam is not a religion of peace and it is high time that law enforcers and lawmakers listen and understand the reason behind the British public's anger.
