25,000 Muslims March in England Calling for Laws to Silence Critics of Islam

Up to 25,000 British Pakistani men, women and children from across the UK gathered in Aston Park to call on the British government to introduce legislation that bars people from insulting Islam under the garb of the freedom of speech.

The participants, who also travelled from several parts of European cities, were led in a mile-long march by Hazrat Peer Alauddin Siddiqui. This is the fourth consecutive gathering for the biggest Melaad-un-Nabi of British Pakistanis in Britain but this year it was dedicated to “protect the honor and legacy of Hazrat Muhammad”.

Hazrat Peer Alauddin Siddiqui, who is a renowned Sufi scholar, said : “Thousands have come together to show peacefully to the western world that the production and promotion of a recent film insulting ‘Prophet’ Muhammad has caused hurt to Muslims all over the world. We are a peaceful community and we will do everything to protect peace and respect for all on equal basis. It’s not fair that some people insult Islam every day and preach hatred through their actions and words but the lack of legislation encourages such elements. We want to tell our government that we welcome debate and constructive criticism of our religion but insults are unacceptable and inflammatory language is contributing to the rise of extremism amongst youth in western countries where youth mistakenly believe that the West hates Islam and Muslims.”

He announced that a rally of tens of thousands of Muslims will be held soon in Hyde Park to profess loyalty to Hazrat Muhammad as well as to condemn the crudely made “Innocence of Muslims” movie which was recently released in the US and caused outrage in the Islamic world, including leading to a ban on Youtube in Pakistan.

Peer Siddiqui told the audience that relations between Islamic and Western countries have improved in recent years and these years need to be strengthened but that is possible if all religions are respected and there should be law in place to ensure that Islam and Muslims are not singled out.

“There is resentment amongst Muslims over the continuing failure of the western government for not doing enough to protect Muslims. Attacks on Muslims have increased and while we are law-abiding and peace-loving citizens of this country, we want our government to take our concern into account,” he added and appealed to Muslims to stay peaceful against provocations.

Speakers said that freedom of speech was a cherished value but abusing Islam is not freedom of speech. They said the best way forward is to engage constructively with Muslims about their religion. They said Muslims were making a great contribution towards everyday life in western countries and it is important that their contribution is recognized.

Yeah! Look at all that legislation that was passed to outlaw insulting Christianity after “Piss Christ.”

Why don’t they just go back where they came from and then they can avoid being insulted. And we can avoid being slaughtered.

Nah! That would never work /sarc

The Iranian ambassador to the UN had just finished giving a speech and walked out into the lobby where he met the United States ambassador, John Bolton.

They exchanged pleasantries and as they walked the Iranian said, "You know I have just one question about what I have seen in America."

Ambassador Bolton said, "Well anything I can do to help you, I will."

The Iranian whispered, "My son watches this show 'Star Trek' and in it there is Chekhov who is Russian, Scotty who is Scottish, and Sulu who is Chinese, but no Iranians. My son is very upset and doesn't understand why there aren't any Arabs or Muslims on Star Trek."

Bolton laughed, leaned toward the Iranian ambassador and whispered back, "It's because it takes place in the future."

[kevkrom]

In a just world, this kind of gathering would be seen as a “target rich environment”.

[CommerceComet]

I sure wish Muslims would stop blowing everyone up.

You'd think that someone would have said that by now on this thread.

Sweden...SWEDEN...is portrayed by those in the know as being the rape capital of Europe.Guess who the rapist are? Guess who the "rapees" are?

Maybe Amanda Palmer can write some so-called poetry to empathize with the rapists.

[Lazamataz]

No one has mentioned this: I sure wish Muslims would stop blowing everyone up.

[kevkrom]

You don’t like it, then Leave and go to Islamic country that will accept your warped beliefs, leave England alone!

See, the problem is that they demand England be an Islamic country.

Yes, I know about soros and his billions, although probably not to the extent that it looks like you do.

I am also painfully aware of the shameful treatment the press gave to GWB. Lies, half-truths, and withholding of important information was their daily routine.

I don't question his patriotism but I can't understand why he wasn't more effective in ridding ourselves of the sleeper cells and mosks right here in the homeland. In the months after 9/11 he had the support of the people and even most of Congress. But the rare unity in America was only for a time, and window of opportunity is now closed; maybe for good.

Maybe those were the correct decisions and the alternative would have been disastrous. The WH has much information that I'll never have. As they say, ‘if I really had all the answers, I'd be rich!’.

Islamic logic at its finest.

Stop blowing everyone up.

If it wasn't for the crescent and star part, the entire bumper sticker would be unnecessary.

What do you mean? Muslims contribute many things to everyday life in western countries, such as honor killings, wife beating, polygamy, welfare fraud, raping non-Muslim girls, barbaric Sharia law, and did anyone mention... blowing everyone up?

How about we see some Christian book stores open up in Saudi Arabia, and then maybe we’ll talk.

Valuable contributions like blowing everyone up!

[Spruce]

I mean, come on! These infidels don’t just blow themselves up, ya know.

"Lets tighten this..."

"...lest you catch your death."

[SandRat]

until then; "BUGGER OFF!"
