NF March at Regent's Park Mosque

[1 Love]

Read this on the NF website;



The National Front will be demonstrating outside the London Central Mosque on Sunday 24th July 2005, please meet at the Mosque which is situate a stones throw from Lords cricket ground at 200pm.

If you would like more details please contact South East NF on 07950474625.

Mosques are a threat to Britain not only for there eye sore potential but also because of the people who use the people who worship there to physically attack our nation, Mosques are recruiting grounds for our enemy within.

Close all Mosques NOW!

Repatriate their inhabitants to a Muslim state.

Support our troops; RIP all those who have given the ultimate sacrifice.

RIP those who have died, and, those who will die in Britain thanks to Labour, Liberals and Tories and their fear to act on behalf of their people.

To all of you who have not yet joined the National Front, I beg you not to delay anymore.

The time is now. Repatriation NOT Race War.

[Arsalan]

MashaAllah bro :up:

Good that you got in touch with them.

Muslims should all go there and just point at the losers and laugh.. and get the white reverts to throw eggs and flour at them :p

Better yet.. pray salaah outside on the mosque grounds in defiance against these racist morons.

[witty]

No eggs and flour - throwing food would be showing disrespect. There are people starving in places like Niger.

Theres also another muslim peace march on sunday at 3:30pm from marble arch to hyde park.

[abdusamad]

Assalaamu Alaykum,


It would be really great to have a big march inshaAllah through central london by the major embassies and end at the buckingham palace, to show the people muslims have the same view on the foreigh policy, which is "STOP OCCUPYING MUSLIM COUNTRIES" :D ... nothing violent but peaceful it would be great to have it done in tens of thousands, but i think muslim feel a bit vulnerable and rather keep it "low" :(... inshaAllah Allah shall take their fear away and they will continue standing up for their brothers and sisters being occupied by the infidels :@ !


jazakuAllah khair.

*vomits* astagfirullah! how sick i cant believe this..i thought id have a look around that link of the NF that was posted//to my horror i found the following

"The Muslims are asking for their beoved ones body parts back so that they can be given a decent burial...in some cases this might even extend to a martyrs funereral. This should be denied and all roads to their sought after paradise made into a road to hell.Before they commit they acts they have to carefully wash from heat to foot, change into clean underclothes,put on a couple of pairs of white pants ready fit for heaven and have a final blessing from a religous leader. One way to stop their suicide act would be to ensure that their remaining body parts are sewn up in pig skins and hung from the Tower to rot..."
and MORE omg astagfirullah here is the link for the rest of this message

now that deserves an amenn

[aurorascopic]

im being serious! why so much hatred? why the fury?why the stereotypes??? people could very easily stereotype all white men to be dictators/colonial leaders who have no respect at all for the value of any human being...just take a look at diego garcia!!! hundreds of peoples lives were just taken away from them all for the sake of the americans! why?can you people not show any mercy!? *shakes head* would'nt you rather have people saying 'the british are great!..how true they are to the name of their country "great britiain"' because instead we have the chagos people shouting 'english:thieves' ...i just don't understand..

The serious suggestion was the salaah one :up:

[sajid]

And yet so many muslims support the NF because their stance of jews :rolleyes:

NF are just s-b of the earth i would not spit on them if they caught fire!

[Black_Rose]

Lets hope they choke on the sh.. that comes out their mouths. :rolleyes:

Losers.

[matrix]

I'd like to see if any of those jokers that turned up for the Quran desecration demonstration outside the US embassy and shouted slogans will turn out to counter march the NF and protect the mosque. I'm assuming they wont, as they are all talk and no action. They just turn out to give muslims a bad name in the media .. jokers! http://www.ummah.org.uk/forum/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

[dhakiyya]

[Black_Rose]

I think she meant to say political party.

[Kaaju Barfi]

The British and other European governments have occupied.looted.killed, raped in muslim and non-muslim countries, which in other words is terrorism in your terms colonialism. You have nothing to say about that but will rant like a mad dog about the supposed activites of another bunch of mental retards from the other end of the spectrum. you and the extremists are two sides of the same coin, and another thing, learn how to spell.

im sorry if i was incorrect..im still young..i only what i have been taught and in politics we were taught that yes there are 'political parties' which there was an entire module on but also any party who has its members in constituancies and within parliament are known as 'governmental parties' :s my politics teacher, who is an ex-labour councillor, must be wrong..i'll be sure to correct him once i return to school..thank you for correcting me.

no i am sorry...i was rude

the b.n.p. is a political party but it has no representatives in parliament.as it didn't get enough votes for any candidate standing for election at the last general election
the b.n.p.does have people who are councilors who won elections in the election of regional and local elections
if there is any of this you dont understand..please say so and i will try to explain
we have several layers of government
the lowest level is the
parish council..which deals with ever day problems locally IE a small area
borough councils..bigger area
county councils...deals with the entire county IE Kent or Hampshire etc
then there are the ones that deal with really huge areas IE
the greater London
the greater Manchester
the two national assemblies of Scotland and wales
and finally
parliament at Westminster


at every layer of government people are elected to serve for a certain length of time and then they have to be elected again if they wish to carry on

[Niqaabi]

Where do i sign up to join the National Front? :)

[witty]

emm.. niqabi.. are you ok? :scratch:

[mouse]

Where do i sign up to join the National Front? :)



havent a clue

auror.....the only parties that can be called governmental parties are those who actualy have to do with the westminster parliament
the party in government ie the executive party
and the party in opposition ie have the most numbers
and any other party with a reasonable representation ie in the uk the liberal demorcrats


who can be consulted on certain issues
there are other groups represented ie the unionist of northen ireland
the scottish nationalists etc...who will not be consulted unless an issue has a direct meaning to their overal policy.....ok

[Niqaabi]

emm.. niqabi.. are you ok? :scratch:

So any word on whats happened?
yeh im fine, was wondering whether the BNP would let me be a member, probably not because im a woman :rolleyes:

[dhakiyya]

well they do have women in their party. Theoretically they should let me join because I'm of English origin though I'd have to lie about having Jewish blood, but they're too think to notice......... however the fact I wear a piece of cloth round my head would probably exempt me from membership.

though it would be funny if lots of British Muslim converts insisted on joining and insisting on them fighting for their rights as British National Muslims :p

(though nationalism is against Islam, so is taking as friends idiots who want to destroy us)

[Hasan2004]

I emailed Hizbut-Tahrir along with the officials of the WORKERS party in Brazil and Chavez Party in Venezuela. I let the HT know that the BNP were having marches and they should check out their website whenever they marches they should show up also with the Islamic Flag! We should try to out number them and at the same time explain the benefits which Islamic Spain gave:


1. The Age of Enlightenment

2. The Industrial Revolution

Hasan

This is the proposed idea I had for some years even before encountering Hizbut-Tahrir. It was intended to be a foundational program for the creation of a society without Racism and Nationalistic bigotry. The goal for the Muslims living in predominantly Non-Muslim lands which would be emulated based on something similar to the region of Andalusia but avoiding the errors and problems of this past Islamic region and/or Empire. The goals presented would be the program for various groups within the Muslim community. When the goals are achieved the Non-Muslim lands would be the vehicle needed to change the leadership in Muslim lands where many problems currently exist for the Muslims. The other reason for this project is also to make Non-Muslims understand that certain Quranic verses are not applicable in certain situations. For instance, many Hadiths, letters and even treaties at times clarify the proper Islamic decision on a matter. The fact is that when a SOCIAL CONTRACT is made between Muslims and Non-Muslims the JIHAD VERSES of the Quran are no longer in effect. The reason for this is because of the SOCIAL CONTRACT which derives from the importance of fulfilling contracts in the Quran. The historical example of this idea is based on the Treaty of Medinah which was an agreement between the early Muslim community and the Jews and other tribes of varying faiths. Ofcourse, today because of the past violation of the treaty by some Jewish Arab tribes the treaty is still in effect and it resulted the total banishment of Non-Muslims in the Arabian peninsula. This is the only region on the Earth where this stipulation is valid. THE ANDULASIAN PROJECT is simply a goal to establish a viable SOCIAL CONTRACT between Non-Muslims and Muslims in North America and Europe. As for the other regions of the world, the CONTRACT has to be modified accordingly because of a different situation or it some areas it could be duplicated. This presentation would also be a refutation against Neo-Nazis and various other of similar persuasion.

1. The Origin of Multi-culturalism and Anti-Racism:

Quran 30:22
"And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the variations in your languages and your colours: verily in that are Signs for those who know."

Sunan Abu Dawud -
Book 41, Number 5097:
Narrated AbuHurayrah:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Allah, Most High, has removed from you the pride of the pre-Islamic period and its boasting in ancestors. One is only a pious believer or a miserable sinner. You are sons of Adam, and Adam came from dust. Let the people cease to boast about their ancestors. They are merely fuel in Jahannam(HellFire); or they will certainly be of less account with Allah than the beetle which rolls dung with its nose.

2. The proper use of Science and Technology -

Quran 57:25
"We sent aforetime our messengers with Clear Signs and sent down with them the Book and the Balance (of Right and Wrong), that men may stand forth in justice; and We sent down Iron, in which is (material for) mighty war, as well as many benefits for mankind, that Allah may test who it is that will help, Unseen, Him and His messengers: For Allah is Full of Strength, Exalted in Might (and able to enforce His Will)."

Sahih Bukhari -
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 195:
Narrated Jabir:
A man passed through the mosque and he was carrying arrows, the heads of which were exposed (protruding). The man was ordered (by the Prophet) to hold the iron heads so that it might not scratch (injure) any Muslim.

3. Social Treaty

Quran 2:282
"O ye who believe! When ye deal with each other, in transactions involving future obligations in a fixed period of time, reduce them to writing Let a scribe write down faithfully as between the parties: let not the scribe refuse to write: as Allah Has taught him, so let him write. Let him who incurs the liability dictate, but let him fear His Lord Allah, and not diminish aught of what he owes. If they party liable is mentally deficient, or weak, or unable Himself to dictate, Let his guardian dictate faithfully, and get two witnesses, out of your own men, and if there are not two men, then a man and two women, such as ye choose, for witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other can remind her. The witnesses should not refuse when they are called on (For evidence). Disdain not to reduce to writing (your contract) for a future period, whether it be small or big: it is juster in the sight of Allah, More suitable as evidence, and more convenient to prevent doubts among yourselves but if it be a transaction which ye carry out on the spot among yourselves, there is no blame on you if ye reduce it not to writing. But take witness whenever ye make a commercial contract; and let neither scribe nor witness suffer harm. If ye do (such harm), it would be wickedness in you. So fear Allah; For it is Good that teaches you. And Allah is well acquainted with all things. If ye are on a journey, and cannot find a scribe, a pledge with possession (may serve the purpose). And if one of you deposits a thing on trust with another, let the trustee (faithfully) discharge his trust, and let him Fear his Lord conceal not evidence; for whoever conceals it, - his heart is tainted with sin. And Allah knoweth all that ye do."

Sunan Abu Dawud -
Book 22, Number 3377:
Narrated AbuHurayrah:
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) having said: Allah, Most High, says: "I make a third with two partners as long as one of them does not cheat the other, but when he cheats him, I depart from them."

Sunan Abu Dawud -
Book 19, Number 3008:
Narrated Bashir ibn Yasar:
When Allah bestowed Khaybar on the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) as fay' (spoils of war without fighting), he divided the whole into thirty six lots. He put aside a half, i.e. eighteen lots, for the Muslims. Each lot comprised one hundred shares, and the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) was with them. He received a share like the share of one of them.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) separated eighteen lots, that is, half, for his future needs and whatever befell the Muslims. These were al-Watih, al-Kutaybah, as-Salalim and their colleagues. When all this property came in the possession of the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and of the Muslims, they did not have sufficient labourers to work on it. The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) called Jews and employed them on contract.

Sunan Abu Dawud -
Book 14, Number 2753:
Narrated Amr ibn Abasah:
Sulaym ibn Amir, a man of Himyar, said: There was a covenant between Mu'awiyah and the Byzantines, and he was going towards their country, and when the covenant came to an end, he attacked them. A man came on a horse, or a packhorse saying, Allah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great; let there be faithfulness and not treachery. And when they looked they found that he was Amr ibn Abasah. Mu'awiyah sent for him and questioned him (about that). He said: I heard the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) say: When one has covenant with people he must not strengthen or loosen it till its term comes to an end or he brings it to an end in agreement with them (to make both the parties equal). So Mu'awiyah returned.

" • ca. 900–1100 The tolerance for non-Muslims under the Umayyad caliphs and later rulers creates ideal conditions for harmonious coexistence among Christians, Jews, and Muslims. The tenth and eleventh centuries are especially significant for Iberian Jewish history and are often regarded as a golden age of literature, philosophy, and science. "

Brazilians protest shooting death in victim's hometown

uploaded 26 Jul 2005

GONZAGA, Brazil (AP) -- Hundreds of relatives and friends of a Brazilian shot to death in London after being mistaken for a terrorist marched along the cobblestone streets of his hometown Monday, demanding the arrest of the British police who fired the fatal shots.

Some of the protesters held banners denouncing British police as the real terrorists; other placards were adorned with snapshots of Jean Charles de Menezes, urging British Prime Minister Tony Blair to send his body home so it can be buried.

All said Blair's apology did not go far enough.

"Apologies don't help, we want justice," they chanted, stopping briefly to offer a prayer for the 27-year-old electrician who left Brazil to work in Britain so he could return home with enough savings to start a cattle ranch.

Menezes' killing has been the top story on radio and television broadcasts since Sunday, although there has been no large-scale public outcry.

In London, foreign Minister Celso Amorin said he had instructions from president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva "to take firm measures to defend the interests of the family of a Brazilian who died in an absurd manner."

The militant Landless Rural Workers' Movement has scheduled protests Tuesday in front of the British Embassy in Brasilia and the consulate in Rio de Janeiro. The movement said in a statement that Menezes "was assassinated in cold blood, victim of intolerance" and called for the British withdrawal from Iraq.

Gonzaga's mayor, outraged over news Menezes was shot seven times in the head and once in the shoulder, called the killing an "assassination."

"It's easy for Blair to apologize, but it doesn't mean very much," said Mayor Julio de Souza. "What happened to English justice and England, a place where police patrol unarmed?"

Many were angry that there is still no word on when the body might be shipped back to Gonzaga, a central Brazilian town of 6,000 where young men often head to the United States and Europe to finance a better life back home. Menezes was killed last Friday, and Brazilians traditionally bury their dead no later than 24 hours after a person dies.

"We don't want apologies, he's ours and he should be here," said Maria Jose Carvalho, who has two sons working in the United States.

Gov. Aecio Neves of Minas Gerais, the rural state where the electrician was born, said the government would pay to fly his body back to Brazil for burial.

Some of Menezes' cousins were upset that Blair's apology included a defense of British police, who he said were working under intense pressure to prevent more terrorist attacks.

"His apologies aren't easing our pain," said Arialva Pereira, one of the cousins. "He's not saying anything about punishing the police who did this, it's more like he's supporting them."

The march ended in front of the town hall, where the Brazilian flag hung at half staff in front of town hall and a large black sheet was hung from the second floor as a sign of mourning.

Menezes was killed in a London subway station as police investigated a wave of botched bombings the day before and the deadly transit bombings of July 7.

Witnesses said Menezes was wearing a heavy, padded coat when plainclothes police chased him into a subway car, pinned him to the ground and shot him dead.

While Menezes' relatives said he was working legally in Britain and had no reason to fear police, the British Broadcasting Corp. said Menezes' visa had expired, suggesting a reason for why he ran.

Souza said the root cause of Menezes' death was Blair's decision to back the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. That prompted the wave of terrorist attacks, the mayor said.

"Gonzaga has nothing to do with terrorism and now it's been hit," Souza said. "Jean could have come back here and become a father, but now we'll never have a chance to have him with us again."

Menezes, called "Jim" by English friends, was believed to have been on his way to repair an alarm when he was shot, according to a cousin in London, Alex Pereira.

The killing probably won't stop Gonzaga natives from going abroad, said Regiani Castro, a 25-year-old who started a farm supplies store after working in Massachusetts for five years.

"They'll be scared, but they'll keep on going because that's the only way to guarantee your future here," he said.
