British Muslims disgusted by the Al
Muhajiroun events 11 Sept 2003 As we approach the second anniversary of the 11th September atrocity, British Muslims are disgusted by "The Magnificent 19" event organised by the extremist party Al-Muhajiroun. According to Al-Muhajiroun, “The Magnificent 19” is scheduled to discuss the lives, motives and reasons behind the 19 men who partook in the events on the 11th of September 2001, as opposed to celebrating the operations themselves. Al-Muhajiroun is to be reminded of the immense value Islam places on a human life as God says in the Quran: “if anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread mischief in the land - it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind” [Quran 5:32] The Muslim Council of Britain said it viewed this week's events with "immense dismay" and said they could spark anti-Muslim violence. "Al-Muhajiroun used to be viewed as harmless clowns but since September 11 they have become much more sinister," said Inayat Bunglawala, an MCB spokesman. "There have been attacks on our communities, on mosques, on cemeteries. It seems it is almost part of Al-Muhajiroun's agenda to promote division and turn people against each other. There are 1.6 million Muslims in the UK and more than 1,000 mosques. Al-Muhajiroun is minuscule and has no standing whatsoever in our community.” [Ends] For further information please contact Tel: 07876 375 526
