Urgent Reminder: Defend Harrow Mosque

London Muslim previously wrote about the need for all anti Nazis to show solidarity with the Muslims in Harrow against a racist demonstration this Friday by Fascists who are on an Islamophobia away day.

For those Muslims in particular who will be attending the counter demonstration on Friday which as you know is 9/11 please ensure you read the leaflet and poster for further details on when and where to join the counter demonstration. Harrow Civic Center outside the Mosque is the place to be.

In addition can you make sure the leaflets are distributed outside local mosques on Friday or perhaps Tarweeh prayers in the evening. Lets keep the Nazi's away by providing them with a really hospitable welcome as occurred in Birmingham recently.

  2. You silly fools, the people demonstrating against your mosque are democratic minded people opposing your undemocratic way of life.
    The nazis though are on your side. Nazism and islam are linked tightly together, just look at the history...

  3. I seriously can't understand how organisations such as SIOE and BNP are allowed to exist, it is a shame that in this day and age people still find it difficult to respect other people and their belief's. How can they preach that they dont want any trouble and they are not racist and at the same time be against Islam? Its people like SIOE who cause division and hatred around the world, its people like SIOE who brainwash people who are weak and narrowminded, who are unhappy with their lives and are looking for a reason to get out of bed every morning.

  4. Islam is God's punishment of a wicked country that has rejected the God of the Bible for so long. But all who turn to Jesus Christ will be saved whatever anyone else does. That is true peace in the midst of this violent world and for ever. Jesus said, "Love your enemies". Did Mohamed? Did Karl Marx?

  6. DEFEND HARROW’S DIVERSE & UNITED COMMUNITY
    “Stop the Islamisation of Europe” and the
    “English Defence League” a group of racist
    football hooligans with links to the fascist
    BNP are threatening to invade Harrow on
    Sunday December 13th to demonstrate
    against the Harrow Central Mosque. We
    cannot stand by and let these racists attack
    any section of our community. An injury
    to one is an injury to all.

    Islamophobia - bigotry against Muslims - is
    as unacceptable as any other form of
    racism. Its aim is to divide us by making
    scapegoats of one community as the Nazis
    did with the Jews in the 1930s. Today they
    threaten the mosque, tomorrow it could be a
    synagogue, temple or church. Today they
    threaten Muslims, tomorrow it could be
    Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, blacks, gays, travellers
    or any other minority.

    Fascists have been beaten before by
    people standing united against them: at
    Cable Street in the 1930s, Lewisham in the
    1970s and in Derbyshire this Summer where
    black and white, young and old, Hindu,
    Christian, Muslim and Jew, gay and straight
    all came together to oppose the BNP’s
    fascist rally. In September we made it clear
    that these thugs are not welcome in
    Harrow. Now we must make Harrow a
    No-Go Zone for Nazis.

    Please sign the statement of support for Harrow Central Mosque
    Join the demonstration on Sunday December 13th
    We are black, white, Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh and Jew
    Assemble 12 noon Sunday December 13th on the wide pavement
    outside Harrow Civic Centre opposite the Central Mosque

  7. why you all want to disturb the smooth daily life of a londoner by constructing these mosques wherever you find space and invite the trouble. You have such huge space in middle east. miles of desert and you can build 1000's of mosques there an no one will tell you anything.

  8. KEEP EDL OUT OF BRENT -JUNE 26TH

    The English Defence League are to attempt to demonstrate in Wembley against a peaceful conference organised to bring greater understanding between Muslims and non-Muslims. Such a conference should be welcomed by all and recognised as a positive step in building harmony and understanding.

    The conference due to be held at the Wembley Arena on June 26th, is the Al-Khair Peace Convention 2010 and its aims are set out on their website:

    "Peace, internal and external be it on an 'individual' or at a 'worldwide collective' level is a must for effective human progress and realistic global unity.

    For people of all beliefs, this conference will be a learning opportunity to realize, reflect on and correct their misunderstanding (if any) about Islam in the light of talks by authoritative and renowned international speakers.

    Conference Focus
    * To create a better awareness and understanding of Islam and its message of peace for the entire humanity, in an objective way.
    * To remove misconceptions, false fear and hate of Islam and Muslims globally.
    * To realize that Islam is a just, righteous and peaceful way of life, with due care for human rights and moral values."

    However such harmony , peaceful discussion and educational awareness is thought to be a threat to our society, according to the EDL. This exposes them for what they really are, a bunch of ignorant and bigotted Islamaphobes and racists with only one agenda- spreading racism, hatred and division.

    Like most bullies, having run scared from attempting to show their face in Tower Hamlets, they thought they could find somewhere else to shout their hatred at.

    Well, just like Tower Hamlets, the local community will remain united. Wembley is part of one of the most multi-cultural, multi-racial and multi-religious boroughs in London. Near by is Harrow, where twice the EDL were shown the door by the mass united action on the streets .

    The anti-fascists in Brent and Harrow are already mobilising, along with the UAF and others to ensure the EDL receive the message loud and clear, "racists and fascists keep out of our Wembley, you are not welcomed here or anywhere else". We promise them the same welcome that they would have recieved in Tower Hamlets!

    The Welsh BNP put out a video last year, which was widely condemned by many, including the Football Association, which referred to Wembley as no longer being the Britain they know.Well for many of us who live and work in Brent, we are proud of our communities and we feel enriched by having a multi-cultural, multi-racial and multi-religious society. We reject totally the racist, Islamaphobic and homophobic bigotry of the fascists and racists. We will not allow them to divide us.

    We call on all anti-fascists and anti-racists to join us in Wembley, showing your support for our tolerant and united society and keeping these fascists off our streets.

    We reject the use of scapegoating and division being instigated by the EDL, BNP and other racists and fascists. In Brent we are attempting to build a coalition of resistance to the Condem cuts budget on 22 June in defence of jobs and services. The fight to defend workers' rights and our living standards is closely linked to our fight against racism and fascism, along with our opposition to illegal wars in Afghanistan and elsewhere.

    Only the united action on the streets to prevent the fascists from coming to Wembley will stop this.
