"A Muslim is a brother to a Muslim, he neither forsakes him nor abandons him..." (Bukhari and Muslim)

As the Home Affairs Select Committee pointed out in its recent report, good community relations are being damaged by anti-terror laws that stigmatise and demonise the Muslim community. Various organisations have come together to plan the largest Muslim Anti Terror Civil Rights March on a non-partisan, Muslim unity platform. With the elections looming, it is essential that the Muslim community sends a clear message against the 'climate of fear' that has been created by the draconian laws and disproportionate arrests targeted at a community which has made a significant contribution to this society.

It's time we stood together as a community, to be strong and confident. Join the biggest Muslim unity anti-terror march Britain has witnessed. All Muslim organisations and mosques have been invited. This march is non-partisan and non-sectarian. There has already been a planning meeting on Sunday 10th April between 6-9pm in London.

Mosques have been requested to announce the demonstration, please request your Imam to announce the march. We want to produce a big advert in the national press. We need your donations to do this.

Assalamualaikum


Just out of curiosity..is it correct for sisters to participate in such protests?!?...
iv discussed this with many ppl and seems to bring aboutlot of controversy..
what do u guys think?

[Amatullah]

i find that generally when these events are organised by muslims....the brothers and sisters segregate themselves, i've been to marches which were totally segregated - the brothers and sisters formed separate groups...and the brothers lefts abt 15mins earlier than the sis's so no free mixing at all .. alhamdulilah

on other demos/marches...sisters usually bunch into groups...which other lonesome sis's will join.. and again the brothers also tend to bunch together

but one thing i find really :spunch: about is when sisters start shouting slogans at the top of their voices etc etc...yes the womens voice isn't her awrah...but in places where men and women are present theres certain rules that need to be followed

[Salman Al-Farsi]

I agree about the Muslim marches, but not those organised with Kuffar lke STWC etc.

I wouldnt even recommend brothers to go to those.

But this one particular is first time ever.. all Muslims uniting for one cause. Allahu Akbar

Jazakllahu khayr sis Hafsa for posting this, I thought it was cancelled.

I urge all brothers and sisters to attend this and show your support to Babar and show the entire world that the Muslim ummah is united and is above the petty differences. :)
