A large number of Brits wear poppies in commemoration of the victims of all wars fought by British citizens, including Muslims.
This is not something we should be supporting. We are not sanctioned to support poppies by the Sharia law, The Daily Star quoted Choudhary as saying.
He added: Were talking about the Second World War and this doesnt have anything to do with Muslims. Muslims are not allowed to participate in anything that is clearly British nationalism.

You appear to have accidently left off the next few lines of that two year old article, Gary....
Quote:
However, other Muslims in Britain so not share the same opinion.
Dewsbury MP Shahid Malik, the Governments first-ever Muslim minister, said: "As patron of the Royal British Legion in Dewsbury I'll be selling poppies in the town centre this Saturday. I think its really important to remember the freedoms we enjoy come at a price and sometimes the ultimate price.
The truth is that no matter what your background, we all must remember that people died for this country and the freedoms we hold dear and that is why Im proud to wear my poppy".
