From your last news dated 5/1/2010 that Anjem Choudary want to march with his co-equip in Wootton Basset, i found it degrading and disrecptful for someone like him talking to the prime minister of a country by proposing a debate between PM and Omar Bakry,otherwise they will march,anyway is not his fault is the the fault of the government that allows the muslim to do whatever they like in this country,is a shame for someone like him earning free benefit and free house opening his wide dirty mouth to say rubbish against the soldiers that lost thier live in a war,this guy should be ban from earning benefit and throw out of this country,let forget about human right, because people like him that hate the country and his not ready to respects the law and regulation of this country should be cast out.

Unfortunately this fine upstanding British gentleman and recipient of the UK benefit system, does have a point. We have invaded Afghanistan illegally and, as with Iraq, have committed genocide against the inhabitants of that country. Our soldiers have been ordered by our establishment elite, to occupy the country by force in order to counteract terrorism here in the UK, are we serious?
These wars, brought about by lies and deliberate misinformation by members of the establishment, should be brought to an end immediately and our troops brought home to counteract the terrorist threat by these British gentlemen here within our country. Those responsible for initiating the illegal wars should be tried for treason and suffer the full penalty of the law.
As for the proposed demonstration by the Islam4UK fanatics in Wootton Bassett, in protest against our military personnel whom they accuse of being Nazi's, are they as well as their UAF supporters who march with them not British? If so they are also guilty of treason and should be punished, if not by the law, then by every able bodied person of British descent who can be in Wootton Bassett to oppose them.
For too long have we tolerated these Islamic and UAF fascists, demonstrating against our chosen way of life now, let them now reap as they would sow.

Comments above could not be clearer. The truth is the UK does not accept muslim ideas and violence. People of the UK and Wooton Basset have stood to honour their fine soldiers. They died protecting the peace of unarmed civilians against violent dictators who claim superiority by violence, kill unarmed people, and terrorise weak communities to force them to submit to backward rules to take their freedom and enforce control over every aspect of their lives.

These muslims fail to understand, or discard, freedom and free societies. Islam says they are superior to all, others are inferior, and they are encouraged to kill others to make them submit to islam.

Essentially Islam is like the Nazis; with dictators, masses of rules run by elite insiders who claim unearned superiority and milk expenses, while all non germans were inferior and made to submit by violence. Hitler made his Final Solution after meeting Allah Khan in 1926 who explained total isamic jihad to annihilate all jews.

Labour never criticise muslims as they want votes. They spent billions to get muslims in, giving them homes and welfare for all the families of one man, funding radical groups and giving hate preachers benefits.

Labour say they like fair equality, yet promote muslims who insist they are superior to all others. Labour talk one thing for votes and act the opposite for opposite votes.

Brown, Bliar and Campbell must be tried for their lies and deception about WMD.

"I don't understand how an openly fascist,racist and bigoted group can be allowed to hold any marches in the UK while the so called league against fascism turns a blind eye and never oppose these islam nazi's. WHY ?"
Joe-Swanley.

The answer is simple; any expression of British patriotism, which may suggest that immigration, multiculturalism and the dilution and marginalisation of our established heritage and culture has gone too far is labelled, wrongly, as "fascist", whilst anyone who supports the destruction of Britain can do no wrong.
The thought of these enemies of Britain being allowed to spew their anti-British, anti-Christian and pro-terrorist bile in the streets of Wooton Basset is absolutely abhorrent.
Sadly, NuLiebour's Human rights Act will see that they not only march, but that they will do so protected by an army of Police officers.
I only hope that the size and force of any counter-demonstration is sufficient to stop it in its tracks, violently if necessary.

I agree that Anjum Choudhry is not a fit person to continue to live in the UK. Neither is he fit to represent Islam. I have read all the comments posted here and it and was astounded to see how many people see him and other fanatics like him as "representatives of Islam".
Were the Nazis all Christian fanatics? Are all Irish Republicans who have been killing innocents all these years Christian terrorist? Do / did these people represent true Christianity? If not, then please try to understand that fanaticism has got no place in Islam and any one who indulges in or incites violence cannot be said to be a Muslim in any sense.
Sadly it appears that the media only gives coverage to these lunatics and their activities.

"Where are the moderate Muslims" blah blah blah.

Anytime ANYTHING bad/negative is done by a Muslim anywhere in the world we have the same "Where are the moderate Muslims/clerics" etc etc. Actually, they regularly speak up but, surprise surprise, the media don't cover this.

When Finsbury Park mosque was still illegally controlled by nutters they had a well publicised offensive event on the anniversary of 9/11. On the same day there was another event held at London Central Mosque to commemorate the dead from there and from around the world. Guess which one got coverage in the press?


The aim of this man is to stir up hatred between Muslims and non Muslims in the wider population. Most of the people on here are reacting exactly how this loathsome man wants them to.

If you look at research published in December by the Open Society Institute, an independent think tank, they demonstrated through research in 11 European countries that Muslims in Britain are the most patriotic of the lot. But don't let facts get the way of a good anti-Muslim/Islam rant.

Totally Confused: the right to demonstrate is not really at issue here, is it? No one in a democracy - something sadly asbent in most if not all Muslim countries - would deny the right to protest, no matter how obnoxious this march would be.

This suggested march is to be set in exactly the place where our dead soldiers are first received back to the public of this country. It is a delibertatly confrontational march, designed to cause the maximum ditress to the relatives and friends of those dead servicemen and women and to the people of Wootton Bassett.

If this was a genuine march with a genuine political message or aim, it could be carried out in London. This march is intended to hurt and distress, just the sort of behaviour from someone or some people who would not understand democracy if it hit them in the face. Whilst I wholeheartedly agree with the idea of a silent protest, I also agree with Julia that our apologist, wishy-washy, liberal, left-leaning media would give it all the oxygen of publicity that the organisers want.

Maybe the next time the US decides to pump weapons into a country for their own political gain, they should take the time to do a little clean up afterwards rather than leaving the civilians to deal with it.

As most of these scumbags ponce off the state, how will they get there, oh sorry it will be provided by the income support and benefits that they falsly claim, not any of their own money as that goes to killing and maiming our soliders.

"Joe Public needs to know WHY this Choudary creep is still living in the UK?"

Because unlike his idol Omar Bakri Muhammad, Chaudary is a British citizen - he was born in Welling. So where would you deport him to - and on what grounds would you persuade this other country to take him?

In parading through the town the man pays a compliment to Britain's liberal democracy. In utilising freedoms that he is on record as wishing to deny others he reveals himself a hypocrite.

In short, in organising such a march Mr Choudary destroys his own argument, and shows us, and the world, just how strong British society is.

H'mmm. I have read what this group wish to do and am of the opinion that they want this reaction. To all the people who may not understand, they are wishing to highlight real cost of war, showing other deaths caused by British soldiers, not just British lives lost. Government wish the public not to realize this as support is down for this war. To those who are anti - muslim, shame on you trying to divide communities as NF did in the 70's. We are one nation, and yes we can have different views which should be aired in a non confrontational manner. I thought that was the point.

Free speech is one of the most cherished freedoms we have in this country. It will be a sad day if we deny that freedom to some fellow Brits just because of their religion, ethnic origin etc.

If Mr Choudary and his friends wish to protest about what they consider to be the evil wars unleashed on Muslims around the world by our government in alliance with the US military industrial complex, and the consequent deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent muslim men women and children, why not?

It saddens me that Britain is being tarnished by these evil Muslim extremists, you only have to look at the arrogant, smug expressions on their faces to see what they are like. Why don't they just enjoy our world instead of trying to destroy it? They give decent peace-loving Muslims a bad name and make us view them all with suspician.
This just reinforces my opinion that our soldiers must stay in Afghanistan and finish the job by stopping this evil from spreading.

So, Mr Choudary, if no non-Muslim can occupy this land, why, then, do Muslim Fundamentalists say that all the earth belongs to Allah? Surely, God - as we tend to call Him - allows us the same luxury or is my God different to Allah?

Also,Mr Choudary, what of the Muslims slaugthered by other Muslims? Are you going to have a march in respecvt of them or are they dispensible if it suits your purpose or argument.

Mr Choudary, you're a hypocrite and a throughly obnoxious bigot.

I bet Wiltshire Police will be good enough to provide these odious individuals with a nice police escortfor their march...and then charge the locals for the privilege.
Or mabye...just mabye, they will have the good sense to prohibit it from taking place at all.

Why are we asking these people not to march- we should be telling them they are not allowed to. They are seeking to incite hatred and so encourage terrorist activities - and that is illegal. Innocent civilians die in war, sad but true, but Muslim civilians are encouraged to become bombers -so why complain when a few they didn't recruit also die. Carry empty coffins? These people should be in them! British servicemen are in the ones we carry, and your Muslim homelands aren't worth the sacrifice.

Kristy - I think simply closing the town would be a brilliant idea - and give a stronger message than a counter demonstration.

Sadly - the media, who seem to have no ethical judgement, would be unable to resist the temptation to turn up and film - so they woild still get the publicity they want.

It's time to draw the line with these people and make it clear that they and their ideas are not wanted in Britain. If you want to live in an Islamic country, under Islamic law, then move to one. It will never happen here and all the likes of Choudary are doing is stirring up hate against those muslims who are happy to be British and just want to get on with their lives.

Extremist like him should not be given space in paper nor tv, since it is not healthy for the society. Best for the medias is to ignore him but police should keep him under surveillance.

Two questions: 1. Where are all the so-called moderate muslims who should be condemning this insensitive and offensive proposal.

2.Why is this scumbag Anjem Choudary allowed to continue with his campaign of hate and indoctrination of young muslims which could well result in acts of terrorism in the future.

Years ago the Ku Klux Klan planned a march through a town in Tennessee and instead of reacting to the march, the citizens of the city simply did not show up; shops closed, no citizens were on the street. It was a ghost town. If there is no audience, there is no point. I am not comparing this group to the KKK, but if you find the march offensive, just shut the town down and they can put on a demonstration for themselves.

Kevin, sorry, Britain is no longer the land of Churchill. If this was the odious National Front, it would be stopped, because these thugs are white racists. Sadly Britain's rulers have long ago accepted that racism is only a white man's vice. These Islamic racists will thus be given free access to express their views as their 'human rights.' You also need a President who accepts the West is at war with people like Choudray, so these people can be excluded from 'polite' society. Sadly you are also led right now by a weak man who is in PC denial.
