Printed Ephemera — 2006-02
Placard
Placard carried at a demonstration printed on one side with the slogan 'Freedom to insult Muslims and Islam', and on the other 'we do not fear debate or criticism but no one likes abuse'. This was one of thousands of similar placards carried by protesters attending a rally in Trafalgar Square on 18 February 2006. Both this rally and an earlier one held on 11 February were demonstrations against cartoons published in European newspapers satirising the Prophet Mohammed. The protest was organised by London's Muslim community, and this was a mass-produced placard distributed amongst protestors.
