MARSEILLE, France (AFP) –
A police helicopter and 60 riot police deployed Saturday in central Marseille to prevent any protests about anti-Islam cartoons,
but only a single demonstrator turned out.
Around 30 journalists were also on hand to witness the man's attempt to defy an official ban on protests about a French magazine that published cartoons mocking the Prophet Mohammed.
"I may be the only one today but I am the spokesman of a silent majority,"
Omar Djellil, whose request to hold a legal demo was turned down by police, told reporters as he harangued passers-by from atop a concrete block.

To be honest I find this far more compelling than hordes of slavering Mohemedans tearing up their own city and causing the deaths of their own fellow religionists. There is a sort of quiet dignity to this guys protest that is far louder than the hysterical screams of the rest of Islam put together.
