English Defence League plans to invade Al Quds Day in London September 4th.

Dorian | 09.08.2010 19:38 | Anti-racism | Repression | Social Struggles | South Coast | World

The racist & Islamophobic English Defence League are planning to invade Al Quds Day annual demonstration and march in London on September 4th. The English Defence League [EDL] are an Islamophobic, criminal organisation with links to organised racism. They have rioted in Stoke, Luton, Dudley, Bolton etc have placed pig's heads on Mosques and have pulled of Muslim women's clothing.



The Al Quds Day annual demonstration and march starts at Marble Arch at 2pm on September 4th.

The plans to invade the demonstration and march proves that the EDL who claim to be "against Islamist extremists from Muslims Against Crusades [MAC]" are racists who are against Muslims full stop. They will attack any event or meeting with the word Muslim in it.

Stop the EDL! We want Al Quds Day can pass peacefully!

More info and links about Al Quds Day

09.08.2010 20:01

If like me you've never heard of al-Quds day or don't know what it is all about, here is some more information.

It seems it is a political event as well as a religious one.

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quds_Day

Quds Day, officially International al-Quds Day, is an annual event on the last Friday of Ramadan, expressing solidarity with the Palestinian people and opposing Zionism as well as Israel's control of Jerusalem (both West Jerusalem and occupied-East Jerusalem). Anti-Zionist demonstrations are held on this day in some Muslim and Arab countries, and by Muslim and Arab communities around the world. Participation in protests on Quds Day is particularly strong in non-Arab Iran, where Ayatollah Khomeini first introduced the event

why are they against al-quds day

al-quds day is a fantastic event, lots of hezbollah and hamas flags on the parade, and the hammer and sickle flag, you can also buy hezbollah magazines, and communist books such as "communism and terrorism" why would the EDL oppose that.

if the EDL turn up, they will get leathered

10.08.2010 08:02

al-quds day has a massive turn out of muslim extremists and hardline communists,if the EDL turn up, they will be in big trouble and outnumbered, us communists usually hijack al-quds day for our own agenda, it is way to flex the muscle of the hard left, we can use the al-quds marchers against the EDL

weyman bennett

Let's just see if we can square this ine up

10.08.2010 08:09

So Al-Quds day, a day supporting palestinian terrorists. Okay, they're not really terrorists, they're freedom fighters. But wait, the day was conceived by the leader of Iran, Khomeini in '79.

The same Iran now imposes the death penalty for homosexuals, in fact they don't even need any evidence, if the judge thinks you're a gayer, then it's get the rope time.

But you guys are alright with that, aren't you? Only certain people have rights, not every body?

So all you lefties, what about gay rights? What about animal welfare? What about women's rights and equality? I thought you were all up for that? Hypocrites,every last one of you.

fuck off edl etc

Some of us Palestinians oppose Palestinian terrorism too.

10.08.2010 10:53

Some of us Palestinians oppose Palestinian terrorism too. Just as there are Jews against zionist terror so there are arabs against arab terror:
See this:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmzsMFk9q1c
There are a lot of arabs who are working for peace in the Middle East.

Arabs against terrorism

oppose the fundamentalists

10.08.2010 11:05

The Left should be opposing this march, never mind the EDL: this is the day all the various Islamic extremists come out, we will see Muslim against Crusades and the 57 varieties of radical Islam in the UK marching.

When are we going to see such people march against the stoning of innocent women in Iran, the execution of gay people and for an IUK poster to approvingly cite Khomeni who murdered many leftists, communists,liberal, etc is sickening and one has to wonder what has happened to IUK

oh, and btw, we have a economic crisis on our hands, millions to be made redundant, the unemployed facing cuts and more harrasment, more homelessness with the housing benefits changes

get your priorities right,

"The Annual Al-Quds Day Demonstration and Rally is confirmed to take place in London on Saturday 4th September 2010. This is a major national event with thousands of people coming from up and down the country in support of Palestine and the Palestinian people. Stand with us, united for the Palestinian cause!"

Supporting organisations include: AhlulBayt Islamic Mission, Friends of Lebanon, Innovative Minds, Islamic Centre of England, Islamic Human Rights Commission, Islamic Student Association UK, Lebanese Community UK, Muslim Association of Britain, and Palestine Return Centre."

Some 'real leftie' has decided that this is the face of 'radical Islam' - next he (and it's almost definitely a he) will be outside mosques with placards saying no more mosques.

'real left' asked:
"When are we going to see such people march against the stoning of innocent women in Iran, the execution of gay people"
 http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2010/07/455249.html

No doubt 'real left' is a frequent visitor to Iran and can tell what is demonisation and what is true, as he dances to the same tune as the politicos and media.....

On the other hand 'real left' appears unable to tell the difference between quoting wikipedia and 'approvingly citing' Khomeini.

Yup - so screw the victims of western imperialism - lets just worry about how we can screw more out of them.

Not a 'real left' I have any time for at all.It looks just like the EDL and the establishment.
