The proposed Muslim march is wrong-headed in every respect, says Rod Liddle.The sight of bearded maniacs storming through Wootton Bassett will onlygalvanise support for the war in Afghanistan
Except that it isn’t really balance and fairness. My guess is that the overwhelming majority in the country are with Luke and Sam and the boys, maybe except for the skull-breaking stuff. And I wonder how hard the tv people had to search for vox pops in favour of this march? As opposed to those sort of implacably against? My own vox pops in the town, discounting the contributions from Luke and Sam et al, were 18 against the march, none in favour, but maybe I didn’t search hard enough in order to achieve balance and fairness.
There’s no date set for this little event, incidentally, just a statement of intent. A Muslim group wishes to march through Wootton Bassett to commemorate the dead Taleban combatants and in order to counteract the regular processions of dead British soldiers through this shrouded town, the cowardly imperialists of Western oppression. The Home Secretary has said he may ban the march, probably under health and safety guidelines.
F*** off back to where you’re from, then, you Muslims. Anjem Choudray, who dreamed up the march, is one of those thick-as-mince gobby little chancers who could only possibly come from Britain — Welling, Kent, in this particular case. Think Derek Hatton, except with an additional ideological commitment to clitoridectomies and beheadings. Typically too dense to pass his medical exams, he became a solicitor but for some time has lived off state benefits while urging death upon the rest of us, sometimes as a handmaiden to the exponentially stupid ‘Sheikh’ Omar Bakri Mohammed (whom we kicked out of the country), and latterly as the guiding light behind the wonderful Islam4UK group — a terrific name, like www.shariaImlovingit.com or www.kuffirsmustdielol.co.uk. You can watch him on YouTube explaining to a BBC interviewer why no infidels are innocent, they all have to die, not my fault, Stephen, just how it is, according to Allah.

Really? So why give it to him?

My recollection, confirmed by a glance Wikipedia just now, was that he left the country of his own accord shortly after the 7/7 bombings. He was later informed by the Home Office that he would not be allowed to return to the UK. Not quite kicking him out of the country, but the next best thing perhaps.

January 9th, 2010 3:57am Report this commentI have a theory that these people like Anjem Choudary and his followers, together with the successful and wannabe suicide bombers/murderers and all those who sympathise with or are involved with Al Queda are in a highly secret and dedicated anti-Islamic, anti-Koran, anti-Muhammad, anti-Allah movement, passionately committed to Islam’s ultimate demise. Any idiot can grow a beard, recite the Koran and dress like a middle-east muslim, but how else could you explain the behaviour of these people who clearly relish their role in taking a once universally respected world religion and by their behaviour turning it into a toxic, putrid stench that offends the nostrils of all decent civilised human beings across the world? The most passionate of Islam-haters could not have imagined such an overwhelmingly successful result in their wildest dreams.
I feel genuinely sorry for all decent, honourable, muslims who have passively watched their religion hijacked and thoroughly demonised in this way. My only question is why they have not yet rallied en masse to Islam’s defence? A vast organised march around Finsbury Park waving ‘Not In My Name’ banners would work wonders for muslim public relations.

Along with Nelson's Column, as graven images won't be allowed. Obviously, under a sane regime, Choudray would be deported as persona non grata. He has no business here as he openly preaches treason and the overthrow of democracy.
