BNP/NF to march on Finsbury Park Mosque

Anarchist Black Bloc | 10.09.2002 23:05

The BNP/NF are planning to demonstrate against
the Finsbury Park Mosque tommorrow [wednesday]
at 7pm. This is a call for all anti-fascists
to mobilise!

No to Islamic Fundamentalism!No to British Nationalism!
No war but the war of the exploited against the exploiters!

Last Saturday, about 25 boneheads from the NF [Manchester, Birmingham, London, Kent] held a rally against the Finsbury
Park mosque, London. There has been much media exposure of
some of the regular visiters to the mosque and there pro-bin
laden, pro-islamic fundamentalism supporters. Some anti-fascists were also on the scene throwing eggs at the fash but there was an absence of the ANL and anyother anti-fascist.

Tommorrow there will be more fash and hopefully many more
anti-fash who will both reject the nationalism of the
BNP/NF and there ruling class/state sponsored[remember
darren wells, tim hepple, will browning?] lackeys, but
also a clear rejection of islamic fundementalism which
exploits and oppresses the arabic world.

Meet-up Finsbury Park station 6pm, stop the fascists,
end islamic fundementalism.

This action by the BNP in North London, could not be more provocative. It is incitement, where are the police when you need them? Protecting the NF!

The BNP/NF only anounce events like these at the last
minute so that we don't have a chance to mobilise.
The only way is to be more organised.

What are 'narchs'? What do they look like and why was it small minded of them not to be at the ANL carnival?

oh heck

Oh dear, I can picture it now; BNP and NF each with their own mini-demo, alternately squabbling with each other and shouting abuse at Muslims going into the mosque; ANL and some Muslims stood at the mosque door shouting back; Black Bloc stood off to one side shouting at everyone!

All it needs is for Workers Liberty to turn up and accuse all the above of anti-semitism, then the RCG could arrive and declare the entire event to be a bourgeois distraction; then maybe for a grand finish the USAF could bomb the lot?

Guardian Article re Finsbury Park

Radicals meet at north London mosque to mark 'towering day'
 http://www.guardian.co.uk/september11/oneyearon/story/0,12361,790465,00.html

Radical Islamist groups last night gathered at a north London mosque for a conference entitled A Towering Day in History to mark September 11, amid threats of a counter-demonstration by the British National party.

The four-hour meeting, billed to hear speeches on the "positive outcomes of September 11" and the "US conspiracy against Islam and Muslims", had been advertised with posters showing the hijacked aircraft crashing into the twin towers.

The main organiser was Anjem Choudary, leader of the Al- Muhajiroun group. Other speakers included Sheikh Abu Hamza, the Egyptian cleric based at the mosque in Finsbury Park, Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed, a Syrian resident in Britain who advocates the introduction of sharia law, and Dr Muhammed Al- Mass'ari, a critic of the Saudi government.

"We felt the most fitting monument to those who died, both in New York, Afghanistan and in Jenin, is to work out how we can go forward," said Mr Choudary. "Mr Blair has not learned anything - if he is planning to bomb Iraq - about the presence of US and British troops on Muslim soil.

"We just wallow in the deaths and forget the causes. It's not helpful. The conference is not a celebration. We don't welcome the death of anyone. But [that day] was a milestone in relations between Muslims and non-Muslims."

Another organiser said: "We are looking at the aftermath and trying to find out what we can expect from America. As Muslims, we know there is a war against Islam."

The meeting was originally planned to be open to the pub lic at a larger venue. Conway Hall, in central London, could not be used because of security concerns, while Friends House, the Quakers' main hall in London, was closed to them because a previous meeting there by Islamist radicals had, according to a spokeswoman, "advocated violence".

Sheikh Abu Hamza was banned from preaching at the Finsbury Park mosque this year because of a sermon he gave. Zacarias Moussaoui, the so-called 20th hijacker in the September 11 attacks, and Richard Reid, the alleged shoe bomber, both attended the mosque.

The British National party said it was planning a rally near the mosque under the slogan: "Keep Britain out of foreign wars. Keep foreign wars out of Britain."
