1. The protesters are described (haaretz) as "pro-Palestinian activists". One
of their organisers was Deborah Fink

who is Jewish.(She lives in London. She may not be British.)
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2004/jan/19/israel1
and a member of Just Peace UK, a mainly Jewish group 'seeking "a viable and
sovereign Palestinian state alongside a safe and
secure Israel, with Jerusalem as the shared capital of both states"'.
2. I don't know whether any Muslims took part. Nor does the "primary source"
for your account, atlasshrugged, who feels free to call the demonstration
"Islamic anti-Jew hatred"
there is no law specifically banning peaceful disruption of concerts etc.. And
if a public order charge were to be brought under analogous circumstances, the
penalty would likely be light.

I cited sharia law in the US to counter your "sharia law takes over the UK",
and for no other reason.

Maybe you in Britain are used to this and take your usual offense at those of
us in the U.S. expressing shock, but someone needs to be ashamed of this sort
of behavior – if not the Muslim perpetrators then the permissiveness that
permits them to misbehave. If rather than condemn these clowns you excuse
them, and via Google find something comparable happening in the U.S, I’ll save
you the trouble. I would feel the same way if it happened here, and it
probably will. Left-wing Liberalism is everywhere. Lawrence
