I am a christian and in many countries political islam is discriminating christians. Christianity is a peacful loving religion like many others out there. But Islam seems to be a violent religion that oppresses human rights.

We can respect individuals even if we don’t respect their beliefs.

We (husband and I) attended this rally on a cold and rainy afternoon, but I wouldn’t have missed it for anything. It was a privilege to meet the people there. The speakers and singers were inspiring – especially the ex-muslims who were risking their lives. I still feel humbled by the courage and commitment I saw there, the generosity of spirit and the undaunted belief in humanity. It was a truly life-affirming event.

In the past I have been (shamefully) slow to speak out because, like most left-wingers, I can’t bear to be called ‘racist’. (And for anyone who is puzzled by this: yes, criticism of islam – though not of other religions – is routinely condemned as ‘racist’ in England! ‘Islamophobia’ is another routine insult, as if opposing an oppressive ideology was some kind of mental disorder.)

But now I can only say, as children are taught to: ’sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me’. People living under islamist regimes face very much worse than hostile words. We who live in secular democracies should not abandon them. Every time we fail to challenge a silly ‘politically correct’ comment, we silently support their oppressors.

I just wonder why none of the main British left-wing organisations were visible at this rally. I am sick of the Left’s abject complicity with one of the world’s major oppressors, but I’m not interested in right-wing or nationalist groups. So it was good to meet new comrades from OLFA and from the secular and humanist groups.

Many thanks and best wishes to the wonderful Maryam Namazie and all the other campaigners for this cause.

I am glad I am at a time to witness change on earth to irradicate this insanity of this religion. I am so happy that people are standing up to be who they are from within, it needs courage and perseverence. This is called intelligence, muslims believe that the holy book has all the answers, no wonder they are not intelligent because they dont question and here are our intelligent ex muslims who are standing up to this insanity. Take all my courage, I will support you and spead the word so the awakened can get linked. Thanks and good luck.

I am very pleased that all countries and people of all cultures and places begin to move against non-compliance with the “Human Rights”.
Let us follow the example of Switzerland!

Britain is a democracy with one law and one law only for all. The present government is a government of appeasement. The ministers are afraid to grasp the nettle, and to let their “yes be yes” , and their “no be no”. There are asylum seekers in Britain who have escaped from Sharia law. The Home Office knows full well of the violation of these peoples because of Sharia law. Yet Ministers are afraid to say a clear “No” to those pushing for such violation of rights in Britain through Sharia Law. We need a leader and a government to spell out the boundaries. Peter Tatchell seems to be the only MP with courage to speak out.

Congratulations! It is heartening to know that there are people willing to take a stand. Political correctness has done a good job of muffling criticism of Islam, labelling anyone who looks past the PR as racist/Islamophobic/bigoted/intolerant. Fact is, it’s an explicitly supremacist IDEOLOGY, and any quarter given will be hard to regain one the penny finally drops. As Abraham Lincoln said, ” A house divided agasinst itself cannot stand. ”
