COMMENTARY: Protests Must Not Be Allowed During Royal Wedding

About two billion people -- or one-third of the world's population -- is expected to watch the royal wedding in London of Prince William and Kate Middleton online or on television next week on April 29. More than a million other people are expected to line the streets of London to see the the royal couple.

Indeed, this is a joyous occasion for the United Kingdom and the world.

Unfortunately, an extremist Muslim group called MAC -- or Muslims Against Crusades -- has threatened to turn this wedding day into what it calls a "nightmare." Why? MAC has no specific reason for this threat.

MAC requested to protest outside Westminster Abbey during the royal wedding, but its request was rejected by British officials.

Consequently, MAC has decided to turn the wedding day into a "nightmare."

More than 5,000 British police officers will be deployed during the royal wedding to ensure that it remains a peaceful celebration.

MAC -- or any other group or individual who disturbs the peace during this wedding ceremony -- must be arrested by police. Moreover, they should receive long-term prison sentences for their misbehavior.

The fact is that it is inappropriate for any group or individual to protest during the royal wedding, since it should be a joyous and spiritual occasion. Indeed, police must have a zero tolerance for any protester.
