To demonstrate against your returning soldiers for doing there service for country is a sad commentary.


Britain's defense minister has condemned a group of Muslim anti-war demonstrators who disrupted a parade for soldiers returning home from Iraq.

Police say they arrested two people Tuesday after a small group of Muslims was involved in an unspecified disturbance in the town of Luton, just north of London.

They were protesting a parade of the 2nd Battalion Royal Anglian Regiment hat has just returned home from service in southern Iraq.
