MQI UK's Response to the March in Wootton Bassett
Dated: 05 January 2010
LONDON. Minhaj-ul-Quran International UK (MQI UK) has expressed deep concern over the announcement by an extremist group to hold a march at Wooton Basset. MQI UK's spokesperson Shahid Mursaleen said that this group is known to consist of members who are known extremists and trouble makers including their leader Anjem Choudary.

"We strongly condemns the announcement by an extremist group to go ahead with the planned march at Wootton Bassett. Minhaj-ul-Quran pays tribute to the dead British soldiers, " he said.

“Extremists like these always claim to speak for Islam and British Muslims yet they are not qualified to do either. These kinds of extremists do not represent the British Muslims” He added that “This march will achieve nothing other than to incite hate crime against innocent law abiding British Muslims.”

He said that this march should not be allowed to take place and it defies belief that a group that is supposed to be banned can operate by just changing its name.

“It must be remembered that a protest by a handful of extremists at a home coming parade in Luton lead to violent demonstrations being held by the right-wing English Defence League across the UK which targeted all innocent law abiding Muslims. If the government and police do not act to stop this protest and curtail this group then there will be similar backlashes against British Muslims.”

“Minhaj-ul-Quran International UK has arranged a seminar at the Houses of Parliament for next week to discuss the reasons why extremist and radical elements exist in Britain and how we can tackle it.”

"We have also launched a series of lectures for British youth 'Islamic Perspectives Series 2010' at Queen Mary, University of London by Hussain Mohi-ud-Din Qadri to explore ways in tackling radical ideologies and groups such as Islam4UK."

thing is... I would rather have the "extreme lot" talking and marching than planning and plotting.

A way to tackle extreme ideologies would be to get them to do something that they feel is constructive. Like holding a erm... march.
