A man attending an English Defence League (EDL) rally has been pictured lifting his shirt to show off a tattoo of a mosque being blown up.
The provocative image, taken at the weekend, has been circulating on social networking websites and has sparked outrage, with many commenters demanding the man be named and shamed.
Bottles, cans and other missiles were hurled at police and officers wearing riot gear accompanied by dogs were deployed to quell an attempt to break through police lines into a building site.
