A MUSLIM accused of inciting murder during a protest wanted a new 9/11 across Europe, a court heard yesterday.
Mizanur Rahman, 23, was also said to have called for the "indiscriminate killing" of American and British troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
He is alleged to have made the remarks as he demonstrated outside the Danish Embassy in London after cartoons depicting Muhammad appeared in a Danish newspaper.
Rahman is said to have told fellow demonstrators: "Oh Allah, we want to see another 9/11 in Iraq, another 9/11 in Denmark, another 9/11 in Spain, in France, all over Europe. Oh Allah, destroy all of them."
The Old Bailey was told he was filmed carrying placards with the slogans "let’s annihilate those who insult Islam" and "behead those who insult Islam".
Mr Rahman also called for a wave of attacks across Europe in the manner of 11 September, Mr Perry said. A video of his megaphone-amplified speech would be played to the Old Bailey jury.
'Not about Allah'
He allegedly told fellow demonstrators: "Oh Allah, we want to see another 9/11 in Iraq... in Denmark... in Spain... in France... all over Europe. Oh Allah, destroy all of them."
And Mr Perry said Mr Rahman had also spoken of the British and American forces in Iraq, saying: "The Mujahideen will destroy them and their freedom in Iraq and Afghanistan, in Falluja and in Baghdad.
"We don't want to see them in Baghdad, in Iraq any more. We want to see them coming home in body bags, we want to see their blood running in the streets of Baghdad, we want to see their blood running in Fallujah.
"We want to see the Mujahideen shoot down their planes the way we shoot down birds, we want to see their tanks burn in the way we burn their flags."
The prosecution emphasised that freedom of speech did not stretch to inciting the murder of religious opponents.
Mr Perry said: "This case is not a trial of Islam. This case is not about Allah or Muhammad."
The case continues.
