So far two men have been charged as police made a total of 14 arrests after outbreaks of violence at the static protest. A spokesman for West Yorkshire Police, said: "We will be reviewing the CCTV footage for the day and looking to bring justice to anyone who was causing trouble on the day."

Trouble briefly flared during the protest in Bradford's Urban Garden as police attempted to keep hundreds of EDL supporters in check. Smoke bombs, stones and bottles were thrown towards the group's opponents, forcing mounted police and officers wearing riot gear to move in.

A group of the protesters managed to break free from the police cordon, clambered over hoardings at the Westfield site and ran towards Bolton Road. A police officer suffered minor injuries during the demonstration.

Arshad Ali, a spokesman for We Are Bradford, said those found guilty of taking part in the violence should receive "significant" sentences, in line with those handed out after the Bradford riots nine years ago. He said: "Asian youths involved in the 2001 disturbances were meted out heavy long-term sentences for similar offences. We hope there will be equality and parity in the way justice will be done."

"If Pollard wishes effectively to oppose such movements, he should stop frothing at the mouth like the deranged neocon he has sadly become, and develop a more sober analysis of these currents rather than excoriate the moderates behind Islam Expo, who are simply acting to further dialogue between their version of Islamism and the British body politic."

In an interview with Adam Serwer at The Plum Line blog, Abe Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League condemns the SIOA's "Ground Zero mosque" demonstration on 11 September. Foxman is particularly angry that Geert Wilders will be speaking at the rally and says of Pamela Geller that "part of her agenda is to help garner support for Wilders, who is a bigot, who has a long record of anti-Muslim bigotry".

Foxman notes that the SIOA protest is part of "a campaign which is in many places directed against building mosques" and which he says exemplifies "the anti-Muslim bigotry that exists in this country". Foxman observes that this is nothing new:

"Part of the landscape, unfortunately, of America is that we're not immune to bigotry, to racism, to anti-Semitism. And part of what's out there is a bigotry to immigrants. Jews experienced it, Irish experienced it. Part of our history is there was opposition to building Catholic churches and Jewish synagogues. Now there's opposition to build mosques."

In response, Geller denounces Foxman – director of one of the leading Jewish organisations in the US – as a "groveling, simpering lapdog panting to jihadists".

But this is par for the course with Geller. In an interview with Jamie Glazov of FrontPage Magazine last December, after the Community Security Trust warned the Jewish community against supporting a Stop Islamisation of Europe protest against a new mosque in Harrow, she accused the CST of "aiding and abetting Islamic jihad and Islamic anti-Semitism".

In a brief statement, the Bundesbank president, Axel Weber, and four other board members said that they had been in unanimous agreement in dismissing Thilo Sarrazin, who caused an outcry when he said Muslims were sapping Germany's intellectual and economic strength.

The board's decision, taken at an extraordinary meeting, is the first such in the institution's 50-year history. All that remains is for the German president, Christian Wulff, to sanction the dismissal of Sarrazin, according to the bank's rules. Wulff has signalled he will do so, calling Sarrazin's remarks damaging to Germany's international reputation.

The proposed conversion has already been the subject of an EDL protest and a racist Facebook page.
