BBC: Muslims have demonstrated in Cardiff to protest against laws across Europe which they say are anti-Islam.
Saturday's protest was to highlight what they believe is an "ideological attack" on Islam.
Organiser Muhammad Abu Yaffir said: "Muslims feel very strongly about these laws being introduced across Europe".
Last year Switzerland voted to ban the building of new minarets, while France is debating a ban on the Islamic veil.
Mr Yaffir said: "Wherever Muslims feel pain anywhere in the world it is our responsibility to respond to their needs.
"The laws being proposed are a form of oppression and we will respond to this oppression."
Muslims from communities across south Wales were expected at the "standing still" demonstration outside City Hall.
Last year, some 57.5% of Swiss voters voted in favour of a ban on building any new minarets in the country.
The French parliament is debating plans to ban the wearing of full Islamic veils in public. >>> | Saturday, July 10, 2010
