Islamic group's plan to march through Wootton Bassett

[Ignitionnet]

British Muslims, that vast majority that are decent people, could take some pointers from this. Where's this from the imams here and in the rest of Europe?

A group of imams from across Canada issued a fatwa Friday to condemn any attacks by extremists against Canada or the United States to be attacks against the 10 million Muslims living in North America.

In a joint statement issued by the Islamic Supreme Council of Canada, the imams state: "We, the undersigned Imams, are issuing the following Fatwa in order to guide the Muslims of North America regarding the attacks on Canada and the United States by the terrorists and the extremists. In our view, these attacks are evil and Islam requires from Muslims to stand up against this evil."

Good find.. Now like you said lets hear from their European counterparts.
It has always baffled me at the silence of the Imams in Europe when these atrocities are carried out/planned but they VERY vocal at perceived insults/slurs.

Nice one and maybe now the hand wringers will stop spouting that marches like this should be allowed as it is the marchers rights.

Stop wringing your hands and kissing their butts and realise that the vast majority of people in this country do not want to see **** like this desecrating the memory of fallen servicemen.

If they want to have a protest march then they should fly out to Kabul and hold it there.

thats whole point though ,at the moment it is legal for them to march (if allowed by the police)so they shuld be allowed ,BUT the moment that right is taken away by process of law then i would fully support it

You guys really are offensive - almost everyone who posted on this thread stated they found the fact that these idiots who proposed this march abhorrent and disgusting, but some were concerned if the banning went ahead, what would be banned next (BNP marches, EDL marches, marches protesting against the Labour Government); sometimes, these things have to be viewed in a larger context, not in isolation.

But with you, it seems to be black and white, right or wrong, no gray.

If this march went ahead the would be rival protests against it.

Any such march that is just intended to cause offence and distress to the relatives, friends, colleagues of the fallen serviceman who attend their return through the town should have been banned with immediate effect and then this thread would never have reached 25 pages.

The hand wringers will soon be out in force anyway.

I have always held the view that the Bnp should not be allowed to march.

This march has me very annoyed. I have a son who has done 2 tours in Afghanistan and thankfully he has come home both times in one piece, Four of his friends have not been so lucky and i would have been horrified if protesters had been allowed to do what this group threatened to do when they were repatriated,

I went to a coming home parade in chivner where there was a contingent of people calling the boys baby killers and other things it was a good job the police were there because the lads family would have ripped them a new a i can tell you.

I cannot stand it when people are more interested in letting things happen on the off chance that turning your back on them will make some form of statement it will not they will just continue to carry on because the press and the papers will cover it. I have never had any time for those that think doing nothing will make the bogey man go away it does not. Sometimes you have to stand up to bullies or groups like this who would have turned up at wootton bassett if we had not stood up to them.

My thoughts exactly, we cannot turn our backs and think that it will appease these types of people, any such march should be banned without having to be considered and pondered on.

The same goes for any ultra right wing group like the BNP or National Front as they are as bad in many ways.

Could I ask all those who think this march should be banned, to provide, in as much detail as possible, the criteria by which they would rule what is allowable and what should be banned? Where exactly do you draw your line?

What I posted above in 387 is reason enough.
