The English Defence League (EDL) held a demostration in the city's Picadilly Gardens where anti-right wing protesters also held a rally.

A Muslim group in Britain, Exploring Islam Foundation, commissioned pollsters YouGov to find out what the British really think about Muslims. Here is the BBC take on the survey:

“BBC home editor Mark Easton says the survey, conducted last month, paints a negative picture of British attitudes to Islam.

Asked if Muslims had a positive impact on British society, the YouGov poll found four out of 10 disagreed with the statement.

Half linked Islam with terrorism, just 13% thought it was based on peace and 6% associated it with justice.

Some 60% admitted they did not know much about the religion, but a third said they would like to know more.” ~ Source: BBC News
