Six British Men Arrested After Quran BurningUpdated: 19 hours 22 minutes ago

AOL News LONDON (Sept. 23) -- Six men from northern England have been arrested after they filmed themselves burning a copy of the Quran on the anniversary of 9/11 and then posted the footage on YouTube.
The two-and-a-half-minute video (which can still be seen on YouTube) starts with a gang of men, wearing keffiyeh-style face masks made from dishcloths, waving the holy book in front of the camera. The group's apparent leader then declares, "This is the Quran, right, it's full of ----. We are going to burn this mother------." The men dance on the book, douse it with gasoline and set in on fire. The leader then shouts, "This is for the boys in Afghanistan."
As a second book is tossed into the flames, the man announces, "September 11: International Burn the Koran Day." One member of the group, who appears to be standing at the back of a pub, then gives away their hometown, shouting, "This is how we do it in Gateshead, right."
The men seem to have been motivated by American pastor Terry Jones' threat to burn the Islamic holy book earlier this month. He canceled the event after top U.S. politicians and members of the military warned that the act could endanger American lives.
Police in the city of Gateshead -- some 230 miles north of London -- raided the pub where the books were burned on Sept. 15 and arrested a bar worker and another man on suspicion of violating a 2006 law that bans the use of "threatening words or behavior" that could intentionally stir up "religious hatred." Four other men were seized elsewhere in the city on Wednesday.
Sponsored Links None of the men have been charged, and all have been released on bail pending further inquiries. If found guilty of religious hatred -- something no one has been convicted of since the law was introduced in 2006 -- they could face up to seven years in prison, a fine or both.
The arrested barman today protested his innocence in the Daily Mail, saying, "I had nothing to do with the fire. I smelt the smoke so I went outside to put it out." The worker, who refused to give his name, said the police confiscated his mobile phone, CDs and DVDs and took away all of the pub's dishcloths.
He added that officers targeted the pub because it was popular with members of the far-right English Defence League. The EDL claims that it is a peaceful, non-racist organization opposed only to "militant Islam." However, the movement includes known soccer hooligans and members of the British National Party, which has been accused of being an anti-Semitic and racist political group. Over the past year, it has staged numerous rallies in largely Muslim residential areas and has engaged in violent clashes with the police, local residents and anti-fascist protesters.
