Mizanur Rahman, 24, Umran Javed, 27, and Abdul Muhid, 25, were convicted during separate Old Bailey trials. Judge Brian Barker, the Common Serjeant of London, said their words had been designed to encourage murder and terrorism.

Rahman, Javed and Muhid were jailed for six years for soliciting murder and three years concurrently for stirring up race hate. Abdul Saleem, 32, was cleared of soliciting murder at his trial but convicted of inciting race hate. He was jailed for four years.

They were arrested after 300 protesters marched to the Danish Embassy in central London in February last year.

The police made video recordings of speeches and slogans during the demonstration against the cartoon, which was first published in Denmark and then reproduced in other European countries. The cartoon depicted the Prophet Mohammed as a terrorist. It caused outrage in the Islamic world where images of Mohammed are never used.

Rahman, of Palmers Green, north London, was convicted of soliciting murder and inciting race hate after calling for soldiers to be brought back from Iraq in body bags.

Javed, of Washwood Heath Road, Birmingham, was recorded on video by the police shouting: "Bomb, bomb Denmark. Bomb, bomb USA." He was found guilty of soliciting murder and stirring up racial hatred and was said to be one of the leaders of the protest.

Muhid, of Whitechapel, east London, was found guilty of two charges of soliciting murder, leading a crowd in chanting "Bomb, bomb the UK", and having placards calling for annihilation.

Saleem, of Mellish Street, Poplar, east London, was convicted of stirring up race hate.

He was said to be the cheerleader and was heard to chant: "7/7 on its way" and "Europe you will pay with your blood".
