Chanting "never surrender" and waving signs reading "No more mosques" and "Islam is the devil," hundreds of protesters demonstrated Saturday just north of London.

The protest in Luton was organized by the English Defence League, a far-right British organization that pushes an anti-Islamic message. It was formed in the summer of 2009 after a group of radical Muslims protested during a homecoming parade for British troops.

The crowd at the Luton protest numbered into the thousands, according to some estimates, and the protesters included members from the Swedish, Norwegian, Dutch and Scottish defense leagues. They marched to St. George's Square in central Luton, where speeches were given and protesters chanted.

Luton has had a renewed focus in Britain after it emerged that Taimour Abdulwahab, an Iraqi-born terrorist who blew himself up on a Stockholm street in December, had lived there over the past few years and studied at a local university.
