Some 700 people took to the streets on Saturday outside the Danish Embassy in London over the publication of cartoons depicting the prophet Mohammed, following Friday's protests which drew hundreds of Muslims in central London. A speaker called on leaders of the Muslim world to sever contact with European governments until they have "controlled the media", Sky news reported.

Some protesters called for more atrocities like the July 7 bombings, while others burnt the Danish flag.

The protest passed off rather peacefully, with only two arrested to "prevent a breach of the peace", said a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police.

However, Asghar Bukhari, chairman of the Muslim Public Affairs Committee, said the chant like "7/7 is on its way" on Friday should have been banned because it advocated violence.

"The placards and chants were disgraceful and disgusting, Muslims do not feel that way," he was quoted by a news website.

He added that "freedom of speech has to be responsible".

The caricatures which first appeared in a Danish newspaper have caused outrage across the Muslim community.

British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw has praised media in the country for showing "considerable responsibility and sensitivity" in its approach to the issue.

Calling the decision by some European newspapers to print the cartoons as "disrespectful", Straw noted that freedom of speech did not mean an "open season" on religious taboos.
