Muslims burned the flag of St George and called for the Queen to 'Go to Hell' in a furious rally held in London over Salman Rushdie's knighthood.
Angry Muslim extremists rallying at Regents Park Mosque said that anger over the award could match the fierce reaction to publication of cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in Denmark in 2006.
Organisers of a protest outside the mosque claimed several hundred demonstrators were denouncing the decision to reward Rushdie, whose novel "The Satanic Verses" led to a death threat from Iran in 1989.
"This knighthood is just another example of Tony Blair and his government's attempts to secularize Muslims and reward apostates," said Anjem Choudray, protest organizer and an ex-head of the British wing of the banned radical group al-Muhajiroun.
"Rushdie is a hate figure across the Muslim world because of his insults to Islam," Choudray said.
"This honour will have ramifications here and across the world".
One of Britain's leading Muslims has branded the flag burning protestors "strange lunatics."
Dr Ghayasuddin Siddiqui, leader of the Muslim Parliament, condemned the protestors, saying: "This is unacceptable behaviour which the majority of Muslims in this country would not support.
"There's no denying a large section of the Muslim community feel very hurt about this issue. But having expressed your anger and frustration you've got to move forward.
"Unfortunately there will always be some strange lunatics, like in any community, who give others a bad name."
A prominent Iranian cleric has said the fatwa death warrant against author Salman Rushdie issued by the late Iranian Ayatollah Ruholla Khomeini in 1989 was "still alive" in the Islamic Republic.
A group of traders in Islamabad on Thursday offered a reward of 10 million rupees ($165,000) to anyone who killed Rushdie.
