Pro-Sharia law march in Britain cancelled
Press Association ^ | 31st October 2009 | Press Association

Posted on 10/31/2009 2:50:48 PM PDT by the scotsman

Demonstrators calling for sharia law to be imposed in Britain have cancelled a march in central London amid security fears.

Anjem Choudary, leader of the radical Islamic sect Al Muhajiroun, said organisers Islam4UK had been forced to cancel the planned march from the Houses of Parliament to Trafalgar Square because of security concerns.

The Islamic Society of Britain, which was planning to join other organisations in staging a "dignified, non-violent" counter-demonstration, hailed the cancellation as a "great success".

A spokesman said: "Pressure from all sections of the community, including Muslims, has resulted in the Muhajiroun and the hot-heads rethinking their position.

"They realised very few people would turn up to support them and they would attract only very negative publicity.

"Old-fashioned pressure has worked."

We must lead the way in solidarity with our beaten brothers in Great Britain who are further down the road but not forgotten.

“They realised very few people would turn up to support them and they would attract only very negative publicity.”

Then why does the 1st sentence say “amid security fears”?

I mean, I hope there were very REAL security pressures on it. There DARN well should have been. It’s about time there was.

“They realised very few people would turn up to support them and they would attract only very negative publicity.”

This was the real reason.

The “security” reason is the same BS they use in the US, saying how “mistreated” they are all the time.

And when it doesn't...good old-fashioned gunfire will.

Glad that someone had some sense to cancel it. It would have been a mockery of everything our WWII heros fought for.

Yeah, "old fashioned pressure" at the point of a sword is what's really needed there.

ISLAMOFASCISTS gave up their Security Concerns when they torched towns over some LOUSY CARTOONS.

the MURDEROUS, TERRORIST CULT OF ISLAM has Wasted any SYMPATHY YEARS AGO...

I would just suggest you go AWAY and LEAVE the rest of us alone... WE DON”T GIVE A F*** ABOUT YOU, YOUR RELIGION and YOUR ... OUTRAGE...

The also know the English Defence League had been planning a large counter-demonstration for weeks. The muzzies might very well have been outnumbered by patriotic Brits and they couldn’t have that, could they?

EDL, BTW, is completely non-fascist and is simply opposed the innundation of their country by millions of people with alien ideas and values (which has been demonstrated as nothing more than a Labour scheme to anger the Right and build up a new constituency. Sound familiar?).

Wonder what they were afraid of? I would’ve loved seeing a few football fans take out those marching!

Why march? Hasn’t England already allowed Sharia law to be instituted?

I am glad the Brits are finally waking up to their situation!

I want to see all of muhammadanizm on its knees looking up the barrel of a gun (preferably a .50 cal. barrett or a 12 ga. loaded with 00 or sabots...)

Figuratively speaking

of course.

No, the politicians got involved.

And everyone knows, where there are politicians, there's *PORK*.

Cheers!

I want them converted to Christianity.

Well that would be nice, but highly unlikely - even though, given the oppressive nature of their death-cult (especially upon women!) Christianity would seem to offer a warm and welcome change from the capricious and often cruel nature of “allah” as related in the qur’an.

Must have something to do with the punishment of death for those who forsake izz-lum (such a forgiving faith...)

No. All that's happened is that Sharia court decisions between two Muslim parties can be recognised as having contractual status in mainstream courts. Sharia courts have no jurisdiction where non-muslims are involved.
