A recent article on the newswire re-printed some stuff from the Red Action site, with a link to a homophobic article and the claim that this was from the MAB.

But it isn't. Look again. It's from the 'Assocation of British Muslims'.

The Muslim Association of Britain are the main mainstream organisation including and representing hundreds of thousands of Muslims in the UK of many diverse views and lifestyles. They've worked tirelessly to mobilise support for the campaign against war and racism. They aren't in the business of promoting homophobia, and certainly wouldn't condone homophobic violence.

The 'Association of British Muslims' on the other hand, I've never even come across before. Are they even a real group? Even if they are, they're NOT the MAB, and can't speak for them.

I don't know who started this hoax or why. What I do know is that the global movement against war and racism is terrifying the powerful, and they'd love to split us up. And how better than to convince gay people that Muslims are our enemies?

As the man said, don't believe the hype.
