A British Muslim has been found guilty of stirring up racial hatred at a protest against the publication of cartoons of the prophet Muhammad.
Father-of-five Abdul Saleem was convicted by an Old Bailey jury at the end of a four-day trial.
The court was told that the 31-year-old BT engineer was the "cheerleader" of hundreds of protesters at the February 3 protest outside the Danish Embassy last year.
Mr Saleem, of Poplar, east London, had denied the charges.
Riots erupted around the world after the caricatures first appeared in a Danish newspaper.
The Met received more than 500 complaints about the protests.
