Loyalist flag protestors dress up as muslim extremists for court date

Well, it's the logical thing to do, isn't it?

Mr Frazer, who you may remember is the leader of the Love Ulster campaign, came to court today dressed as militant preacher Abu Hamza.

Why? To protest charges against them following their involvement in the loyalist protest against the decision by Belfast City Council to restrict the flying of the Union flag over City Hall to designated days.

The trio believe, according to their press release, that the 2006 legislation brought in specifically to combat incitement by militant Islamic preachers is needed, but they question why they are the only people in the UK, along with a fourth person from the North, to ever be charged under the legislation.

So, dressing up as a muslim extremist will act in their favour?
