[...] the wearing of a simple headscarf? I hear much public discussion and fear of the extremism of Islamic sharia, but where’s the discussion of “secular sharia?” Secularism can chain women too; just ask [...]

You claim that organising a demo in front of a mosque or in a muslim area is “terrorising”, well, one of you’re speakers – Peter Tatchell -
has actually demonstrated inside churches ( good on you Peter – these bigots deserve it !), is he “terrorising” people ?, Mosques, churches etc are symbols of and propagators for a totalitarian ideology in the same manner that a nazi party hq is, and are therefore valid targets for protest.
Also, most areas of Britain now unfortunately have muslims in them – so logically this would rule out protest over most of the UK.
I was at the demo – well done for organising it – but there were only about 150 people there rather than several hundred, the anti islamist movement needs far more people, on the other side of the demo I saw there was some sort of disagreement with a few people holding an England flag, I don’t know what, if any, group they belonged to, but I don’t think people who are patriotic should be lumped together with “racial nationalists” such as the BNP, or you will just alienate potential support.

Several hundred people joined a successful rally organised by One Law for All on November 21, 2009 in London's Hyde Park. Acts of solidarity also took place in nearly 20 countries around the globe. To hear coverage of the rally on BBC Radio 4's Sunday programme, click here (from 2400-3100 minutes). See also an article by Peter Tatchell in Guardian's Comment is Free on the Rally published Nov 20. A more detailed report to follow shortly.

Sikram,

Do you have data from muslim societies on rape, domestic abuse, incest, assault on women, on children, etc? No such non-sense data, isn’t it ?? I wonder why… What woman in her right mind would look for justice when the “divine” law tells her to bring 4 MALE witnesses? Moreover they must be of good character, credible, and they must see the sexual act taking place- the actual coitus !!!
Do you also know that in UK 40% of women in shelters ARE Muslims ? Now, you wonder why !

No they don’t. Some would like that but out of sheer fear would keep quiet. Very few do it in secret also due to the “peaceful” islamic community. Muslims live separate lives. Non-muslims are considered unclean. Don’t say things based on a few impressions. Looks like youdon’t want to do harm… so please don’t.

We will have nothing to do with the English Defence League
October 26, 2009

Tony writes on our website: This group should join forces with the English Defence League and help them in their fight against Islamic extremism and Shariah law in the UK.

Maryam Namazie responds: One Law for All will never ever join forces with the English Defence League. As I have said before, the far-right’s version of Britain is not very different from the Islamists’ one and we won’t stand for either.

I know the EDL tries to hide its true intentions – sort of like the BNP claiming not to be racist in order to join the mainstream. But even without a mission statement on its website and with a disclaimer on its forum, it isn’t hard to see that the EDL is a racist organisation.

First off, just their name makes me shudder. English Defence League reveals nationalism, exclusivity, segregation… I think it is very clear who they are – and are not – including in their version of ‘English.’

And it is also clear who they are from the hooligans and thugs who join their rallies. The EDL says it can’t be blamed for those it attracts but of course it can and it must. Send out right-wing messages of nationalism and ‘England for the English’ and you will get the racists and fascists doing Nazi salutes and demonising those perceived to be different.

And it is also clear who they are from their tactics, one of which is organising demonstrations in front of mosques and terrorising people passing by or entering. Look, if you are concerned about the political Islamic movement and mosques being funded by Islamic states to promotes Islamism, then by all means demonstrate but why not do it at the Qatar embassy (if you are concerned about the Burnley mosque for example) or for that matter Jack Straw’s office (who is thought to be responsible for the Emir of Qatar’s £1.5 million gift to the mosque). Yes I am opposed to faith schools but I wouldn’t stand with a group that brings out thugs in front of an Islamic school and threatens children going in who are sent their by their parents…

How you show your opposition is just as important as what you oppose – if not more.

Clearly, being opposed to Sharia is not nearly enough if it isn’t done within a framework of defending the rights of all and not just the ‘English.’

First of all one should read & understanding one’s topic,before going against some issue. I hope all commentators will look into the subject before criticizing any thing. In India, women get nothing in inheritance,a girl child is killed every few minutes. In the western world look at the data of women being raped every few minutes. Why then people just because they have misinformation, do they start campaigning against something they do not know fully well. Search for the truth, you will get it.
