Latest campaign to demonise Islam and intimidate the Muslim Community

“The public furore ignited in response to the reported comments made by Sheik Taj Al-Din Al-Hilali has little to do with the question of crime or culpability. What is clear is that a consistently negative view of Islam and Muslims is being generated in this country with the aim of demonising Islam and silencing the Muslim community.” Read more >>

Many thanks to everyone who came down to the first event on Monday 23rd October and made it the great night it was. Apologies if you came after nine pm however, as we had to close early due to a (nearly a year old) ‘license issue’ which the police had suddenly raised with the MauMau’s owner. Luckily we could move the screening to a private venue nearby. Read more >>

The kidnapped Italian journo. Were you on this demo on August 5th?

The picture below is of the kidnapped Italian journalist who is being held in Afganistan. He is very distinctive looking. It is know that he covered the massive Lebanon protest in London on August 5th and other anti war related events. If you took photos of him that day (please look at your stuff if you were there) they could be useful to prove to his captors that he is indeed (as he is no doubt telling them) a leftwing Muslim journalist who is anti war and US imperialism.

Please reply to the email below if you know of any useful film or images or recognise him. Any info will be passed onto the National Union of Journalists who are campaigning for his release.

Thanks Read more >>
