Demo Against Nation Front/Al-Mhajiroun Rally in Trafalger Square
kalabine | 24.07.2004 12:08 | London
Sunday 25th July sees a rally in Trafalgar Square at 1pm, by the Islamic
fundamentalist group Al-Mahajiroun.
The National Front have called a counter demonstration.
The new anti-fascist group Anti-Fa sees very little difference between the
fascism of the National Front and the Islamic fundamentalism of Al-Mahajiroun.
Indeed their views on gay people, Jews, Women, Trades Unionists, Anarchists etc would appear to be virtually identical.
Meet outside the national Gallery at 12.30pm.

TAKE BACK THE SQUARE!
Ken Livingstone organised today’s event. Recently he also organised a conference where one of the principal guests was Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi. Many observers have described al-Qaradawi as a moderate, whilst others see him as a fanatic. We understand that the majority of Muslims don’t share all his ideas, yet his arrival kicked up a huge kerfuffle. Far fewer Muslims share the weird ideas of more fundamentalist Islamists, whose ideas are – frankly – barking. For example, the loons of al-Mahajiroun don’t consider there to be any mosques in the UK. Just as the NF are not representative of white people, al-Mahajiroun are out on the fringes of British Islam. But just how nutty are they?
You’ll have a chance to find out in Trafalgar Square next Sunday, 25 July, when al-Mahajiroun hold a Rally for Islam. This is not a fun-filled day out for all the family, unless your family is particularly patriarchal, homophobic, sexist and misogynistic, anti-Semitic and believes in killing everyone who doesn’t agree with you. Neither is it an introduction to what you’d understand as Islam, but to a political group seeking to use Islam for their own sordid ends. To their credit, al-Mahajiroun promise some miracles in the Square! It seems that atheists, Christians, Hindus, Sikhs and bizarrely socialists will renounce their ideas and embrace Islam, quite spontaneously. It should be a sight worth seeing!
The highlight of the day, though, is likely to be the appearance of the National Front, who will definitely not be converting to Islam. Many of their ideas differ little from those of al-Mahajiroun, especially as regards Jews, women and gays and lesbians. They’re not turning up to cheer on the fundies – they’ll be out for their blood. The NF will also use the day as an opportunity to demand the expulsion of all Muslims from the UK and the destruction of all mosques in Britain.
ANTIFA opposes both the obscene fascism of the National Front and the apocalyptic extremism of fundamentalist Islam. Neither offers ordinary people – already suffering from bosses, councils and landlords – any solution. We are holding a counter-demo against the NF and al-Mahajiroun, meeting outside the National Gallery at 12.30pm. We look forward to seeing you there.

Eigi Vikja the stand for real identity and folk in Trafalgar Square
31.01.2005 12:13
I believe that this conspiracy is obvious. It is not hidden anymore it is out in the open. Race-mixing on commercial advertising, freeze-framed and force fed to the masses. My landlord, boss and bills do not trivialise millenia of evolution. This is a war on many levels. Children are being taught about homosexuality as a reasonable, or even NATURAL (a perspective shown to be scientifically disproven) lifestyle and that their heritage and geneaology is something to be ashamed of. This is 'clipping their wings before they learn to fly'. It is ALL entertainment and ALL education. We are living in a Stalinist state.
When the white person comes to be in a minority, this country is finished. The world will be an irrecoverable, immoral, homogenous, brown, tedious, declining, consumerist and internationalist wreck. After that the environment will destroy mankind, disease will spread, mental illness, immorality and violence will be the rule and humanity will die out - and quite rightly too.
That is why the Muslims stand. That is why the National Front stand. If they had any sense they would unify against you.
I think that if you had any sense YOU would join them in pressurising the government towards national self-determination and a return towards real identity and humanity.
I would say: 'Volkgemeinschaft statt Klassenkemf'
I apologise if this reply has been too long to such an old article - but you do stand by free-speech - don't you?
