London police said today (April 19, 2011) that they had banned a radical Muslim group from holding a protest outside the church where Britain's Prince William will marry Kate Middleton on April 29, according to the Reuters website.
Talks are ongoing about allowing Muslims Against Crusades (MAC) -- whose members include some of Britain's best-known Muslim extremists -- to stage some form of demonstration in the capital.
Meanwhile, the English Defense League (EDL) -- a right-wing anti-Islamist group whose past protests included violence -- has also applied to stage a demonstration, should MAC get the go-ahead.
London Assistant Commissioner Lynne Owens said, "So far we've had two requests from groups wishing to protest, and we're currently engaging with them to decide whether we think that's appropriate."
