Community leader flogs £5 balaclavas to 'Muslim brothers' ahead of march

A community leader declared 'no face, no case' as he flogged £5 balaclavas to his 'Muslim brothers' before appearing on stage at a counter-protest in response to a planned UKIP march.The UK Independent Party (UKIP) was banned from staging a demonstration in Tower Hamlets, east London , which has the largest percentage of Muslim residents anywhere in the UK.Instead, large groups of masked Muslim youths took to the streets on Saturday vowing to be 'ready to defend their community'.Many young men dressed in black, with hoods up and their faces covered, could be seen as Bangladesh and Palestine flags were waved at the demonstration on streets where UKIP had originally intended to march.
