Islamic group to defy ban on rally (they also endore the use of violence)
London Times via the Muslim News ^ | Augustus 14 2002 | Anthony Browne

ONE of Britain’s most controversial Islamic groups has insisted that it will push ahead with a rally in London despite being refused permission by the Mayor of London.

Al-Muhajiroun, which endorses the use of violence, supports Osama bin Laden and campaigns to turn the UK into an Islamic state, is planning a “Rally for Islam” in Trafaglar Square to recruit new members on August 25.

The Greater London Authority has refused permission for the rally, saying that it could cause offence. A spokeswoman said: “At previous rallies they have expressed anti-Jewish and homophobic comments that would be insulting to a lot of people.”

However, Anjem Choudary, the UK leader of Al-Muhajiroun, said its previous rallies had been peaceful, and they would hold it even without permission. “It’s a public space, there are going to be thousands of people there anyway. Ken Livingstone has his own agenda — people are just being anti-Islam and anti-Muslim,” he said.

Al-Muhajiroun now denies that it recruits for jihad, but it boasted of this before September 11, and does not deny that some of its members went to fight against American and British troops in Afghanistan. It believes that those practising homosexuality, adultery, fornication and bestiality should be stoned to death. The group has been putting up posters for the rally around London. Mr Choudary says they have recruited up to 20 people to Islam at previous rallies, and denies that they spread intolerance. “We want to turn Britain into an Islamic state. Islam has brought law and order for 1,300 years,” he said.

Al-Muhajiroun has been banned from many university campuses, but claims to function in 30 cities around Britain, with more than 60 regular discussion circles.

Its spiritual leader, Sheikh Bakri Mohammed, said of the 1998 al-Qaeda attacks on the US Embassies in Dar es Salaam and Nairobi: “We would not carry out terrorist activity ourselves, but we endorse the use of violence. Bin Laden is a hero to all Muslims.”

Al-Muhajiroun ....... They are about the worst in England. They are scum. Let's see what happens with this one and if they hold the demo despite the ban.

Al-Muhajiroun translation: The immigrants.

"Al-Muhajiroun, which endorses the use of violence, supports Osama bin Laden and campaigns to turn the UK into an Islamic state"

These people are more candid than other Muslims. That's the only difference.

The country that gave us the Magna Carta, much of our justice system, and so much else that is ingrained into our way of life, is now infiltrated with those who would destroy it and they stand by "tolerantly" and watch and wait. So sad and frightening, a harbringer of what will happen to us if we allow it.

Yes, al-Muhajiroun is the plural of al-Muhajir, which people may remember is the name Jose Padilla the Dirty Bomber chose for himself when he became an Islamist.

"anti-Jewish and homophobic comments that would be insulting to a lot of people"
The insult is not the problem.
"people are just being anti-Islam and anti-Muslim"
You got that right! And for good reason!
"It believes that those practising homosexuality, adultery, fornication and bestiality should be stoned to death."
And that just for a starter!
"we endorse the use of violence. Bin Laden is a hero to all Muslims."
You gotta admire their candor. These people are saying what the rest of the Muslims are thinking!

But "religions" like this are satanic death cults.

Sounds like Trafalgar Square is a good aim point. How many megatons should we deliver.

Islam is an evil cult. Their leader mohamed liked to marry 9 year old girls while he preched hate.

There is no reason to be tolerant of a religion that wishes to destroy the human race.

It is time we in the West realized that we are at war with today's Nazis - the Islamic faith

“We want to turn Britain into an Islamic state. Islam has brought law and order for 1,300 years,” he said.

A. ISLAM BRINGS LAW AND ORDER

B. PEOPLE LIKE LIVING IN SOCIETIES THAT HAVE LAW AND ORDER

HMMM C. MUSLIMS RUN LIKE HELL AT FIRST CHANCE TO LEAVE MUSLIM COUNTRIES.

Somethings not adding up.

Exactly.

And the Left says that they're no different than "fundy" Christians.

They endorse violence but protest our use of self defense.The beauty of free speech is that they can really show the true colors of Islam.

"Bin Laden is a hero to all Muslims"

They do worship death don't they.

There's a small part of me that wishes them success, just to put the multicultural/diversity loving wackos in their place.

The degenerate Left will be the first ones swinging from the gallows if the Mohammedans ever get their Sharia'h state.
