Blackburn soldiers homecoming protest axed

And who the F*^K are these The ‘Islamic Committee for the Reversal of Colonialism’

A GROUP has shelved plans for a protest at a homecoming parade for Lancashire soldiers after pressure from the Muslim community.

The ‘Islamic Committee for the Reversal of Colonialism’ was planning to stage a protest on December 1 during a homecoming parade by the Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment.

Soldiers who have recently returned from Afghanistan are due to march through the town after a special service at the Cathedral.

The fringe group, which is to believed to only be made up of a handful of members, was told there would be counter-demonstrations against them from members of the Muslim community and possibly from other groups.

The decision to cancel the protest was made following a series of meetings between our sister newspaper Asian Image, members of the Muslim community and representatives of the group.

The decision has been welcomed by many Muslims in the region.

Waqar Hussain, a community worker, said: “The community doesn’t need adverse publicity – it needs to communicate compassion and understanding.

"Blackburn needs to communicate to the outside world how enlightened we are despite supposed differences."

A statement from Lancashire Council of Mosques read: “We are pleased that after discussion with local community and faith representative, the individuals have decided to postpone the protest. This is very important for the community.

“The war in Afghanistan is a sensitive issue for many people of all faiths.

"Those who wish to register their opposition to aspects of British foreign policy should do so through political channels i.e. through their local MP or representations to the government.

“The British Army does not sanction their deployments, such decisions are taken by the government of the day, and so it would be unfair for people to target any protests at soldiers participating in this homecoming ceremony.”

Anjum Anwar, Dialogue Development Officer and Director of Woman's Voice said: "As someone who believes that the war in Afghanistan and Iraq is and was wrong, and was initiated with ulterior motives.

"However, the solder’s returning should not be the target for venting frustration and anger, rather we should utilize all those democratic venues that are open to us to address this terrible situation.

“Any march or demonstration would have only given the EDL the oxygen to disturb and disrupt our communities."

Mohammed Quraishi, the spokesperson for the Islamic Committee for the Reversal of Colonialism, said the decision to cancel the protest was based on consideration for public safety.

He said: “Our view remains that all the underlying factors that the protest was meant to be about are still valid and must continue to be addressed.

“The intention behind the protest was to highlight the suffering of thousands of innocent Muslims killed by a coalition of which the British establishment is a key player.”

Chief Supt Bob Eastwood of Lancashire Constabulary said: “This is good news for Blackburn and its communities and I am grateful for all the help and support there has been in reaching this decision from key members of the community who care about community cohesion.

“I’d also like to thank the organiser directly for his change of heart and for no longer planning to go ahead.”

They're scared. They know what these events are doing to their image. They'll never call them off because its the right thing to do, only because it hurts their community.
Brian of London has been actively occupying a very small slice of hideously over-occupied Tel Aviv since early 2009.


Islam is a giant bungee cord tying it's adherents to the 7th century.
They can pull themselves almost to the twenty first century but eventually the cord tightens and flings them back.

And the Taliban and Al-Qaeda kill how many where the rule of law is do or die?

Sorry but the war in Afghanistan as an excuse for this bullsh1t is exactly that BULLsh1t! It is just another piss-poor excuse to hate the west!

If they aren't going to have a parade on that day to appease the minority then we should have a demo to appease the majority in this country who say fcuk YOU! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!

I think some people here might have the wrong end of the stick.

It was the protest against the parade that was cancelled. Not the parade.

I suspect todays events might have focussed their minds.

There will still be a counter protest against our troops, trust me on that one. This group speaks for no-one really, seems like this is just to make things look good on the face of it to the local telegraph and other various media!

Considering that recently, busted two local cops, one for running a drug ring, hiding machine guns, and cash, the other for beating his wife, i dont think that they can be so self-righteous in the eyes of us locals anymore, this whole town is boiling up and this could be the catalyst. I can see many of the locals just flipping out!

I will also be there to support our troops, let the chips fall where they may! NS :)

Bunch of cowardly sh1tbags, what else would we expect from them though?

Pressure has been placed, as already mentioned, because of how it would reflect on their communities who are actually doing astoundingly well in the Islamification of Blackburn, and don't want to draw further attention.

We have news for them though. We know their game, and they have already been spotted, it's now nigh on impossible for them to keep their heads down and quietly breed away our country into dhimmification!

Been said before but I'm going to say it again...

Just who the fcuk do they think they are coming into our country and setting up their sh1tty little organisations. ^o)

They'll always be unwelcome outsiders, they might think that the general English community are tolerant of them, but behind closed doors we're not... and we're getting fed up.

they'll be wetting themselves after the poppy burning. No way will they want the added hassle of any kick off at the troops homecoming just to cement the nations negative view of them.

Saying theyve cancelled it is just a publicity stunt
