Four men have been jailed for their part in protests outside the Danish embassy in London, against cartoons satirising the Prophet Muhammad.
Mizanur Rahman, 24, Umran Javed, 27, and Abdul Muhid, 24, were each jailed for six years for soliciting to murder after telling a crowd to bomb the UK.
A fourth man, Abdul Saleem, 32, was jailed for four years for stirring up racial hatred at the protest in 2006.
The men, from London and Birmingham, were convicted at the Old Bailey.
Judge Brian Barker said their words had been designed to encourage murder and terrorism.
About 300 protestors marched outside the Danish embassy in February last year after cartoons satirising Muhammad were published in newspapers in Denmark and other European countries.
Outside the sentencing hearing on Wednesday, a group of around 40 demonstrators chanted and waved placards.

Let this be a timely reminder to all you muslim 'nutters' that calling for the murder of innocent people will be dealt with severely by the courts (and about fucking time too). I now await the imminent arrest of the Salman Rushdie knighthood protesters who held up their stupid placards calling for a “curse on the Queen”. I hope that these 'twats' will be dealt with in a similar manner. I think that it's now time to make it a criminal offence in the UK to display inflammatory placards; to burn national flags and to burn effigies. It really disturbs me to see muslims behaving like rabid pack animals. They have no self respect.
