Sickened by Muslim Council of Britain's Letter to the Queen

07-06-2012 07:16 | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | Terror War | World

The MCB published a news release on 1st June 2012 titled ‘British Muslims & Muslim Council Celebrates Queens Reign’, saying 'British Muslims are “deeply grateful” for The Queen’s long interest in her Muslim subjects'. Upon reading this, I felt sick as the MCB have ignored and thus dismissed the abuses perpetrated/condoned by the British Monarchy. This article responds to the MCB news release & includes comments from a diverse group of people. Ths MCB news release has brought transparency to their role in the UK.

Yesterday, 30 May, the Supreme Court handed down its 5-2 majority verdict finding against Julian Assange in his appeal against extradition to Sweden.

The Houla Massacre

The appalling massacre of 108 people, including 49 children, in Houla, Syria, dominated the Independent on Sunday’s latest front cover. Above a few short lines of commentary the banner headline read:

‘SYRIA: THE WORLD LOOKS THE OTHER WAY. WILL YOU?’

The text beneath observed:

‘There is, of course, supposed to be a ceasefire, which the brutal Assad regime simply ignores. And the international community? It just averts its gaze. Will you do the same? Or will the sickening fate of these innocent children make you very, very angry?’ (Independent on Sunday, May 27, 2012)
