Extremist Conference in Tower Hamlets

Alliance of anti-racists | 21.06.2011 19:13

Yet another hate conference in Tower Hamlets...

On Saturday 9th July the extremist Islamic party, 'Hizb ut-Tahrir' will be holding their International Khilafah Conference in Tower Hamlets. Hizb ut-Tahrir is a fundamentalist worldwide organisation which discriminates against women, non-Muslims and homosexuals.

 http://www.hizb.org.uk/dawah/international-khilafah-conference-london-9-july-2011

Concerned individuals will be holding a demonstration outside the venue, the Water Lily Complex, 69-89 Mile End Road, London E1 at 1pm, meeting at Stepney Green station at 12.45. Racists, fascists and Islamophobes not welcome.

What a coincidence. The EDL is planning an event in the Hamlets during that time.

Are you implying that to be opposed to religion and religious beliefs you must be an EDL member? I have no idea whether the poster is, maybe it is an EDL troll there are enough but it's time the anti facist left stopped the PC bollocks of avoiding confronting religions, I'm anti facist, anti religious and anti-homophobic anti sexist, therefore I for one think it's a good idea to go to Tower Hamlets and make the presence of an anti fascist movement that isn't scared to voice it's opposition to Islam and to the EDL and to all peddlers of hateful trash. In a time when the far right is clouding it's fascism under the guise of anti radical Islamism, it's important to show an alternative to those who also feel that radical Islam (I also consider moderate Islam to be shit but at least there is some interesting and underlying ideas about fraternity and equality) is a crock of shit just like the hateful politics of the right, by dismissing posts like this and all sharing in and laughing at the painfully naive and misled EDL (you know which video I'm referring to) we make our selves look like snobby PC middle class toffs.

We speak of solidarity with those in the Middle East who are tying to create an none Islamist revolutionary movement but we undermine international solidarity, by failing to address the equally divisive and damaging effect backwards religious beliefs have.

Label me an Islamophobe if you will but I think it's time to start taking a composed and unified anti-fascist platform against all hateful and damaging beliefs and those who peddle them.

as much as i agree with what you say the chances of antifa or any other group protesting this event is zero and you know it the muslim youth would batter you all round london please prove me wrong and get it organised no doubt weymen and martin would be at the front singing were black were white were asian and were jew and were gay would love to see the videos of this

Is it that every post likes this has somebody jump in and spout about 'the EDL' etc. People like antifa etc have to stand up and be counted. As for the likes of the UAF, having accused WAG of Islamophobia for complaining about 'The book that shook the world' conference we casn safetly assume that they are not anti fascist but rather just a swp front to sell papers and make students feel good.

We at NiceOnesUK are not afraid to oppose all such events, from the BNP to Hizb ut Tahrir we stand in defiance, we will not be scared away by the accusation of 'racism', you keep quiet if you want.
