British Muslims for Secular Democracy today announces the launch of its plans to organise a demonstration on Saturday 31st October to counter a demonstration by Al Muhajiroun, at which they will call for the abolition of democracy in Britain and the imposition of Shariah Law on all.

That demonstration has been called by Islam 4 UK – a successor organisation to Al Muhajiroun.

British Muslims for Secular Democracy are organising the counter demonstration, bringing together a number of religious and non-religious groups.

Shaaz Mahboob, vice-chair of British Muslims for Secular Democracy says:

“Our counter-demonstration is based on our belief in, and commitment to, those liberal values that define the British state, including legal and constitutional equality for all, equal rights for women and minorities, and religious freedom, including the right to be free of faith”.

We have produced a video that explains why we’re demonstrating

Invite your friends, help get the word out, and see you in Piccadilly Circus, 1 pm, Saturday 31 October.

As I reported last night, Carter-Ruck, one of a number of British law firms that specialise in so-called ‘media management’ – i.e. firing off libel writs and injunctions at the press to suppress adverse information about their wealthy clients – obtained an injunction which prevents the Guardian newspaper from reporting proceedings in parliament, specifically, it’s thought this question tabled by Paul Farrelly MP:… - Continue Reading...

I’ve noticed this, frankly, staggering report in  The Guardian

The Guardian has been prevented from reporting parliamentary proceedings on legal grounds which appear to call into question privileges guaranteeing free speech established under the 1688 Bill of Rights.

Today’s published Commons order papers contain a question to be answered by a minister later this week. The Guardian is prevented from identifying the MP who

On January 7^th 2009, The Sun newspaper published a now notorious front page article, which alleged that Islamic extremists were using an online forum at Ummah.com to compile a ‘hit list’ of prominent British Jews.
