A gang of devout Luton Muslims who chanted 'f**k the Queen' after battering an innocent football fan to the ground and leaving him covered in blood are facing jail.
Andrew White was set upon by ten Asian men as he walked along Oxford Street in London's West End.He was hit on the back of the head by ringleader Abu Rahin Aziz, 32, of Hazelbury Crescent, Luton, and punched, kicked, and struck with a crutch as he lay prone on the ground.
When the Muslim group shouted 'F*ck the Queen' as Mr White lay bleeding on the ground, football supporters responded by singing the national anthem, the Old Bailey heard.
The gang had cleared the area of Asian women and children before the attack, and handed out pro-Muslim leaflets as the violence was happening.
Qadeer Ahmed, 29, of Althorp Road, Luton; Naseer Khan, 31, of Milfield Road, Luton; Munim Abdul, 33, of Hampton Road, Luton; Jalal Ahmed, 26, of Cavendish Road, Luton; Yousef Bashir, 34 of Dane Road, Luton; Rajib Khan, 36, of Vestry Close, Luton; Moshiur Rahman, 32, of Dane Road, Luton; Mohan Uddin, 36, of Trinity Road, Luton, and Kamran Khan, 29, of Wodecroft Road, Luton, have all admitted affray.
Aziz, an associate of firebrand cleric Anjem Choudary, fled the UK before his trial and is thought to have joined jihadists in Syria.
He denied affray but the jury took just over two hours to convict him of affray in his absence.
Judge Paul Worslsey QC said the attack linked to another bout of disorder a week earlier.
Kamran Khan and Mohan Uddin were both convicted last month of sectarian violence by Sunni Muslims against a rival Shia sect of Islam in Edgware Road at a protest march led by Anjem Choudary.
The pair were in the dock alongside Mohammed Ishtiaq Alamgir, 34, Mirza Ali, 39, and white Muslim convert Jordan Horner, 20, a member of the so-called 'Muslim Patrol'.
All those involved in both outbreaks of violence are due to be sentenced on Friday.
